Oh, my God!
It's not the long flowing dress you're in
Or the light coming off of your skin
The fragile heart
The fragile heart
You've protected for so long
Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong
It's not your hands searching slow in the dark
Or your nails leaving love's watermark
It's not the way you talk me off the roof
Your questions like directions to the truth
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe we'll get forty years together
But one day I'll be gone
And one day you'll be gone
If we were vampires and death was a joke
We'd go out on a ride
On a sidewalk and smoke
Laugh at all the lovers and airplanes
I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand
Maybe time running out is a gift
I'll work hard till the end of my shift
To give you every second I can find
And hope it isn't me who's left behind
Knowing that this can't go on forever
It's likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe we'll get forty years together
But one day I'll be gone
And one day you'll be gone
One day you'll be gone
One day you'll be gone
But one day you'll be gone
I can't see my explosion
There's nothing more you can do
I can't see yourzust
I can feel your explosion
I can feel you broken
I can feel you made of steel
One day we'll get forty years together
Just give me a second to let me know
Knowing that this can't go on forever
It's likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe we'll get 40 years together
But one day I'll be gone
One day you'll be gone
One day you'll be gone
