Every drop of blood in my body screams for you
If i still had the means to sleep i dream of you
Saying that “i love you” doesn’t feel right; such an understatement poisons me like a snake bite, i might make up an excuse not to work and just stay with you
Only 23 when we met yet you were 21, knew you through a friend of a friend who said don’t try your luck
I knew what i wanted, i knew right when we started but in your early twenties two years can mean a fuckin’ lot
Didn’t know how to react i was honest
Told you what wanted to let you settle on it
Three weeks in you said to me “i never had the room to breathe, i never lived this life for me, or ask what i wanted”
On those stairs, i bit my tongue
If i spoke, you would’ve fuckin’ run
Every drop of blood in my body screams for you
If i still had the means to sleep i dream of you
Saying that “i love you” doesn’t feel right; such an understatement poisons me like a snake bite
I might make up an excuse not to work and just stay with you
Love is like the apple from the garden, just one bite, you’re fucked
Said that we would stick it out till friday for the next three months
Waited for the day when i wouldn’t have to pretend when saying those three words wouldn’t make you wanna up and run
Bravely, take it
I could wait, fuck waiting
You have one shot: to make this or break this, just say it
Just say it
Just say it
Every drop of blood in my body screams for you. screams for you
If i still had the means to sleep i dream of you. i dream of you
Saying that “i love you” doesn’t feel right; such an understatement poisons me like a snake bite i might make up an excuse not to work and just stay with you. stay with you
Next thing i kn~ow, i’m ho~ldng you clo~se. with water on your cheeks you whisper to me
