Lingers on our skin
Fingers on your back
A breath caught within
You reach out with your hand
I know you're awake
Just reach a little further now
And know it's not too late
So take me now
While I am dreaming
Or lose me now
The dawn is creeping
Kiss me now
For I am leaving
Before the sun wakes up
Unless you take me now
Zoning out through tired eyes
You caught me vulnerable
You ask, "How so?"
I say, "Everything's naively beautiful,"
CHORUS
And I have made enough wishes
As the stars fade, the chance is missed and
We'll say good bye leaving us to say
If only...
If only...
So take me now
We're not dreaming
Hold me though
This dawn that's creepin' in
Kiss me now
For I am leaving
Before the sun wakes up
You better take me now
Why don't you take me now?
