If only you were a ship
I'd sail the seven seas
Claiming all the land
In the name of you and me
We'd drift down the coast
In search of a new life
But all we'd find is gold
Just to misdirect our minds
Don't say no
Or Don't burn yourself alive
Wont you take one last breath
And hold on tight
And when the clouds come rolling in
To pour their summer tears
Upon your burning skin.
I'll be waiting here (x2)
If only I was a star
Sewn into the sky,
Hanging from the thread
That keeps you awake at night
And when you would look up
The fog would cover me
Hiding all that we share
And all that we can be
Don't say no
Or Don't burn yourself alive
Wont you take one last breath
And hold on tight
And when the clouds come rolling in
To pour their summer tears
Upon your burning skin.
I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
I'll be standing here
Are you listening?
Don't say no
Don't burn yourself alive
Wont you take one last breath
And hold on tight
And when the clouds come rolling in
To pour their summer tears
Upon your burning skin.
I'll be waiting here (x2)
I'll be standing here
Are you listening?
I hope you're listening
