Do I deserve to be held so closely?
Do you want me to be lower than lonely?
Would you rather pretend that you don't know me?
Walk past me in the street
In a hurry
Pretend you never said you loved me
I won't hold it against you
If you want to have quiet days alone in your room
The rain still falls
The sky is always blue
Take as much time as you need
To find you
If I were to kiss you would it choke me?
Do you still have the time to hold me?
Would you rather pretend that you don't know me?
Walk past me in the street
In a hurry
Pretend you never said you loved me
I wont hold it against you
If you want quiet days alone in your room
The rain still falls
The sky is always blue
Take as much time as you need
To find you
