For You In My Place
Sleep now - would you sleep now? Sleep now for me my dear. Sleep now.
You know I'd be there for you, if I could. You know I'd be there for you. You know I would. There's nothing I want more than to hold you, to hold you for good, 'cos somebody should.
I want you to know that I care for you. I want you to know I'll be there for you. I know that you need someone, someone for you and no-one but you.
You know very well that the world is cold. But please don't give up, because I've been told: there's nothing that matters more than love, and love is like gold. And love never gets old.
Does it help you to think that this life we live is purely designed for your happiness, and anything that hurts you is an accident - just an accident, and no harm was meant?
Would you like me to tell you that you're beautiful? Would you like me to say that I live for you, and I'd die for you? And even though I can't be there, would you like me to swear that I think of you? I sweat and I worry and I tear out my hair for you! I'm here and I care for you, and only you, but I can't be there for you!
I dreamed I could fly, if just on a plane. Same dream every night! It was driving me insane. So I screwed up my nerve, and I tried to be brave. I took to the skies and I flew far away.
I don't want to be your long distance love, you know. It's good, but it isn't really enough. I'll fly to your house. I'll fly to your arms. I'll fly to your eyes, and your lips, and your heart. You know I want to be yours. And you've got what I want, but I'm not what you need. When I'm with you, I feel like i can do anything, but I can't, I can't, I can't.
You know I'd be there for you, if I could. You know I'd be there for you. You know I would. There's nothing I want more than to hold you, to hold you for good, 'cos somebody should.
(I have no reason to be nervous on the instance of our first meeting. I will deplane and you will see me, and we'll both smile big. It will be poetry, 'cos this was meant to be. This was meant to be. This was meant to be.)
