You said we had forever but tomorrow slips away
Crushed by your beauty while we stand, drenched in the rain
When lips translate a language that's too complex to speak
I can't help feeling drowsy as my heart skips a beat
Immunised yet fragile, the repercussion incomplete
The time consumed by your doting presence still lingers in the air
So strenuous is our goodbye, a fascination in my despair
The shudders you once controlled now flood back rapidly
I'm so unprepared
Dancing by your side, from this distance a vision scorned
Cradled in your arms, leave my troubles settled 'til dawn
I'd lay with you tonight, reading you through my fingertips
Keeping still just for awhile to shake off my regretful tears
You said we had forever but tomorrow never came
Crushed by your beauty while we stand in this freeze frame
When lips translate a language no-one now may ever speak
I can't help feeling lost and trapped with a future uncharted and bleak
