Our backs pressed together yet so far apart
both staring at the stars
not making a sound
Dare we……..forget the past and make a start
we’ll be face to face
we’ll both turn around
~
If I……..were to look into those big brown eyes
and ask you to be mine,
would you take my hand?
If you……..were to walk with me alone tonight
you would see all I need,
two sets of footprints in the sand
~
The limits we can take this is so out of sight
the drum in my chest beats
and I know you can feel
If I……..stare too hard or hold you tight
I’m not trying to hurt you
I just want to be sure you’re real
~
If we……..step into an unknown sea
I can only promise one thing
you’ll always be all I need
I’m euphoric……..to have you with me
Before tonight,
you were only a dream
~
Any moment that I take my eyes off you
it’s only to see the path ahead
so I can help you through
You……..will never need to ask for truth
It’s an honorable sacrifice
to give all of me to you
~
Would you……..sail away tonight with me
We’ll throw uncertainty to the breeze
Dare we?
~
~
