'what if you could wish me away?
what if you spoke those words today?
i wonder if you'd miss me when i'm gone.
it's come to this, release me,
i'll leave before the dawn.
but for tonight, i'll stay here with you
yes, for tonight, i'll lay here with you.
but when the sun hits your eyes through your window
there'll be nothing you can do.
what if you could hear this song?
what if i felt like i belong?
i might not be leaving (oh) so soon
began the night believing
i loved you in the moonlight
so for tonight, i'll stay here with you
yes for tonight, i'll lay here with you
but when the sun hits your eyes
through your window
there'll be nothing you can do
i could have treated you better, better than this
well i'm gone, this song's your letter:
i can't stay in one place
so for tonight, i'll stay here with you
yes, for tonight, i'll lay here with you
but when the sun hits your eyes through your window
there'll be nothing you can do.'
just a tiny correction.
i don't think it's about a lack of love.
it's about too much love.
both know it's destined to end, for whatever reasons.
they're both just quietly waiting.
she doesn't realise it's come to this..
& hence his 'what if you could hear this song?'
as in she'd try to make him stay, she wants him there..
despite the knowledge that it shouldn't be.
i think they've talked of him leaving before...
but it's all been false alarms until now.
& the next day when she wakes and finds him gone,
she's going to want to find him like nothing else.
but it'll be too late & it'll be for the best.
