lyrics

Well
I'm the writer and you're the muse.
I'm the purple but you're the shades of blue.
I'm midnight and you're the stars.
I can love you forever, even from this far.
Hold your breathe and count to ten
There's splinters in our skin
But we're far from the end.
Pages of paper and no words can be said
To tell you that I need you more
than you'll ever understand.
Well
I'm the pianist but your the composer.
I'm the start of the show, but you're the closer
I'm the stranger, but you're the one who knows her.
I'd never change you for the way things were.
Hold your breathe and count to ten
I'll hold your hand as the line runs thin.
Endless winters will always express
The worst side of the things, but still I digress
I hold it deep inside
the thought that we can survive
And if forever exists
I want it with you, if you'll permit.
Because I'm the pen but you're the ink
I'm the prophecy but you're the fulfillment
I'm lost in the dark but you're the guiding star
But I'll never forget how you make me laugh
Or the mark on your cheek from a childhood mishap
I'll never forget how you make me
Or the constellation of freckles I wanna trace out faintly
Because you can take all I'd ever have.
But I'm still gonna love you til the end.
Take all I could ever have.
But I'm gonna love you.
You will be all I ever have.
I'm gonna love you.
You can take all I have ever had,
But I'm gonna love you.
