Its not the long flowing dress that youre in
Or the light coming off of your skin
The fragile heart you protected for so long
Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong
Its not your hands, searching slow in the dark
Or your nails leaving loves watermark
Its not the way you talk me off the roof
Your questions like directions to the truth
Its knowing that this cant go on forever
Likely, one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe well get 40 years together
But one day, Ill be gone or one day, youll be gone
If we were vampires and death was a joke
Wed go out on the sidewalk and smoke
And laugh at all the lovers and their plans
I wouldnt feel the need to hold your hand
Maybe time running out is a gift
Ill work hard til the end of my shift
And give you every second I can find
And hope it isnt me whos left behind
Its knowing that this cant go on forever
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe well get 40 years together
One day, Ill be gone, one day youll be gone
Its knowing that this cant go on forever
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe well get 40 years together
One day Ill be gone, one day youll be gone
