Here we are, laughing at the sea
Baby, you and me
Kissing like lovers long deprived of human touch
Whispering with two tongues
Afraid of saying too much
Why would I let you go?
Here we are, burning down the sun
Prisoners on the run
Drowning our sorrows in another desperate embrace
Pushing back anything that might get in our way
Why would I let you go?
And in my dreams I have the strength
To not keep love at an arm's length
And in my dreams I see myself the way you do
And in my dreams I understand
The value of the love at hand
And in my dreams I love you like I used to
Here we are, stranded on a cloud
The ocean's getting loud
Aching for something to prolong this credulous view
Asking the sunset for more crimson, violet, and blue
Why would I let you go?
And in my dreams I have the strength
To not keep love at an arm's length
And in my dreams I see myself the way you do
And in my dreams I understand
The value of the love at hand
And in my dreams I love you like I used to
Why would I let your love run out on me
Here we are, lit up by the moon
Babe, I spoke too soon
Taking for granted all the love I cared to devour
Spurning a heart so pure 'cause I can't muster the power
How could I let you go?
