Lay down now
Your mouth is mine
Put your arms around me
Let's stop this place and time
Your hands are on my face
There's nothing here
Nothing speaks here
But truth in this space

Sky above
Ground below
Your lips move
And my heart
Lets go

Night covers us
As we undress
The quiet is broken
But my heart shooting through
My chest
My legs are heavy, my eyes
Wide awake
I want nothin' else out of life
But you in this place

Sky above
Ground below
Your lips move
And my heart
Lets go

The heart take over
And I lose myself
You reach over and say
"Hold on to me hold on to no one else
I promise you all of my love"
So I take a deep breath
And wish upon a stars death

Sky above
Ground below
You whisper to me
"You know this is the real thing"
N' I look in your eyes
N' say "Babe I know"
