Do you remember sixteen?
How it was just you and me?
We could of done anything
If we’d had the strength to believe.
Do you remember July?
Fireworks over our heads.
We were only biding time
And biting our young lips.
I remember you saying
That all this is fleeting
But I would stay for you.
The days seem to pass by
At the speed of light
Summer ended too soon.
Do you remember sharing
Cigarettes under the stars?
The music that was playing
While we made out in our friends cars
We would’ve done anything
Anything to not get caught.
I wouldn’t have said anything
Anything to break your heart
I remember you saying
That all this is fleeting
But I would stay for you.
The days seem to pass by
At the speed of light
Summer ended too soon.
And then we were waving
Your taillights were fading
Headed back to the East.
Oh what I wouldn’t give to hold you again
As I fell to my knees.
It’s gonna be a cold one
So bundle up and hold on
I’ll keep you warm
If that’s what you want me to do
Pack for the East Coast
Your scarves and your down coats
We won’t be back so don’t for get anything
Sleep on the drive dear
And wake to the harbor
We can watch the ships
Come and go
Maine in the winter
Is frozen and bitter
We’ll cuddle close
To keep safe from the cold
Know that I’ll be here
When you open up your eyes
Snowdrifts surround us
A castle made of ice
As you drift off to sleep dear
I’ll hold you tight
As our breath proceeds us
It will crystallize.
I’ll show you the sights dear
All those frozen vistas
From the bays on the coast
To the hills and the streams
Then head for the lighthouse
And hope we’re not found out
I’ll take you with me
Everywhere I go.
Know that I’ll be here
When you open up your eyes
Snowdrifts surround us
A castle made of ice
As you drift off to sleep dear
I’ll hold you tight
As our breath proceeds us
It will crystallize.
So here I am
And here’s my heart on my sleeve
I wave it ‘round like a white flag
Because I surrender
To something soft, warm and tender
Something that I’ve never had
I’ll inhale
I can barely keep my head above water
But I’ll hold out
Hold out for you
But move in fast
I don’t know how long I’m gonna last
I need someone to save me soon
I need you
I need you so bad, so bad
I can’t
I can’t keep living
This fast, this fast
I’ll keep it short
I’ll get right down to the point
I’d give you everything I’ve got to give
Let’s take our time
Find what everyone’s trying to find
Catch what everyone else will miss.
I need you
I need you so bad, so bad
I can’t
I can’t keep living
This fast, this fast
