i speak to you
and you speak to me
i think you hear what i'm saying
but pretend that you don't really
so i drink with you
and you drink with me
we laugh all night and dance around
and sing our drunken hearts out
now it's time for bed
and you hold my head
and tell me it's okay, i'm here with you
i didn't think you'd be gone so soon
let's talk on the phone
so we're less alone
pretend i don't care you're over there
but i wish you could come home
but let's never change
for i love us so
i know i'm my best when i'm with you
you're the only one who brings me hope

you're in her bed
and i don't know who she is
but she's in my head
it's 3am
and all i can see is you touching her
the way you touched me
when we couldn't sleep
and i
i know you're not mine
but i'm so close to the floor
and without you i can't get up anymore
and i
i would do anything
to make you believe in the love that i write
in the words that i sing
did you forget all about me?
the way that you'd whisper your love
but you took it all back
said you were wrong
was she around
the last time you kissed my lips?
is that where you went
to her bed?
and i
i know you're not mine
but i'm so close to the floor
and without you i can't get up anymore
and i
i would do anything
to make you believe in the love that i write
in the words that i sing
you're in her bed
and i don't know who she is
but she's in my head

take me with yo everywhere
let's run away like we don't care
i just wish you were here
it's been one day, but i miss you dear
i know it's gonna be some time
until i'm next to you and you are mine
i hope you think i'm worth the wait
but until then i'll count the days

look back to me as you walk down my pathway
one more goodbye so i know that you love me
i watch you go down, the leaves eat you up now
and i'm scared this could be the last time
but we hold on to what we know
we hold on to what we have
we hold on to what we feel
please hold on to me
a long drive for you, a longer wait for me
until you get home, away from our safety
don't leave me here, please take me with you
i can't lose another one
but we hold on to what we know
we hold on to what we have
we hold on to what we feel
please hold on to me
but we hold on to what we know
we hold on to what we have together
we hold on to all that we feel now
and i'll hold on to you

right now you're here, and that's okay
but soon you will be gone
maybe when you're there you'll write to me
and i'll listen to all those songs
we sang together, hand in hand
on your sofa where you lay
with me perched on your lap
it was the perfect day
and i've never been so literal
with much of what i've said, but
je ne sais pas comment le dire
i hope you'll hold me in your head
do you remember how we said
we'd dress for next hallowe'en?
i wonder if we'll stick to it
at least i'll have it in my dreams
and if we don't, then that's okay
but for now, let's play pretend
and when you're gone write to me one day
postcards signed from your old friend
you've never been so literal
with anything you've said, but
je ne sais pas comment le dire
i'll always hold you in my head
we've never been literal
with anything we say, but
if i ever cross your thoughts
please send a postcard up this way

(TRANSCRIPT)
hey. it's me. i know i wasn't very articulate on saturday, and i know you were taken aback. i just wanted to say sorry, you weren't abrupt, you were kind. you're always kind, and i don't know that i really deserve that, or, at least, you of all people owe me that. i watched this film the other day, blue jay... you probably know it, but, yeah, they bump into each other after years, and whatever they had was still there, between them. but there's all this sadness, you know?almosts, what ifs, just... i don't know. pain? i don't want that for us. i don't want to bump into you in 20 years, and to reminisce, but for it to hurt me. i don't want to lose you. i meant all of it. anyway, call me back i guess? i love you. okay. bye.
