♪♪

Maybe because that night - I knew from the start

You couldn't stay

I started - making a little space for you

And even if I lived three lives

I would always fall short of time - to find you again

To keep loving you

I want everything with you

And for this to never end

Love came knocking

And I opened the door - to let it in

But it’s no use

If you can’t stay - and I didn’t know what to give you

So you’d stay

But I already - don’t want to wait

Because time - just flies by

A love like this - I haven’t felt since school

And my heart - with the kiss you gave me

It consoles itself at night

But I already - don’t want to wait

Because time - passes us by

Give me the OK - and I’ll start looking for a home

I crave you

You don’t know how many

Let’s give ourselves everything

Less missing

♪

I’ve imagined you in the car - and I imagine you on the beach

Your salt-wet skin

And me being your towel

You with my t-shirt - that becomes your pajamas

The one you wear at night - and I take off in the morning

♪

But I already - don’t want to wait

Because time - just flies by

A love like this - I haven’t felt since school

And my heart - with the kiss you gave me

It consoles itself at night

But I already - don’t want to wait

Because time - passes us by

Give me the OK - and I’ll start looking for a home

I crave you - and you don’t know how many
