lyrics

That picture you sent with wet hair dripping
my moral resolve ever slipping
realising I want to be with you

The trust you place in me is paramount
the letters I receive are tantamount
to the love that burns inside of you

It’s not stalking if it’s not malicious
going through every one of your pictures
the only reason I’m online is you

In the beginning the fear of rejection haunted me
but my longing for your face taunted me
I knew I’d do anything to tell you

(Chorus)
Despite how comfortable you make me
my hands are shaking now
Because, you know, my darling
I never want to let you down
The spark of your touch ignites my skin
I’m on fire
I’ve done so many pills
but darling you know
I’ll never get any higher

I now just want to be your partner
comrade or a knight in armour
to ensure that I’d protect you

The words you sing as I fall asleep
they lead to dreams I dare not speak
to anyone else but you

We both still struggle with life sometimes
the feeling of frustration and anger are rife
but I can overcome them with you

Life’s worth living with this new zeal
forget all the other feelings I feel
I know I’m going to thrive with you

(Chorus)

And when I wake up and I’m by your side
my jumbled thoughts are now untied
and it’s simply because of you
(x2)

(Chorus)
