wake me up, lower the fever
walking in a straight line
set me on fire in the evening
everything will be fine

waking up strong in the morning
walking in a straight line
lately im a desperate believer
but walking in a straight line.

something solid to walk on, something sturdy to grasp,
something steady to lean on, something special to clasp.

im shutting my eyes and holding your hand. im straining and im not moving. im not right beside you.

im fighting more, breathing less. i sleep with my eyes open.

this is you and you and i.

the sun isnt going to set. birds will cease to sing, but the wind is at your back. and so am i.

and so it goes.

and then the world will leave me alone once again.

i thought i knew, once, what it was. i was wrong.

but i dont care. im with you, and that's all i need to find life. you are life. so whether or not it all makes sense when i open my eyes in the morning or lay my head on my pillow at night - and all that's in between, baby.

you will be what keeps me here. and as far as you'll go with me, ill go with you. ill still go with you.

let's say it isnt and watch it wilt.

i'd like to know for sure, for once.

baby, when all your love is gone, who will save me from all im up against out in this world?

i feel lucky to have you. you're beautiful, amazing, intricate and lovely - you couldnt do a thing to make me delight further in you. i watch you and i see a shimmer around the edges; a more that i want with everything ive got. i lie awake with you in my arms, and i know i could never find something more precious, more worth treasuring. you are my desire - i want to keep you close, build my love up around you and watch you bloom. i know you're capable. i know it's in you to change the world. your spirit exudes a fragrance that is irresistible, sumptious and somehow profound. i want you to hear me - i dont trifle. i know you're worth any obstacle or struggle or pain; i know that together we will live life as no one has lived - with complete abandonment and passion that rivals the greatest warriors, with a dogged determination to awaken, ignite, breathe, soar. come with me. i want you with me.

i want you with me.
