If I should never wake,
Then would you even know?
I give, you only take
And then you leave me alone.
How did I come to lose you?
Do you fear me or do you fear the truth?
Don't let this silence break us apart.
See what's behind us, we can't stop here
If only you could stop changing gears
We could stop and see just how far we've come.
Did you only let me think
That this ever could have been?
If I should fall into the brink,
Will I see you again?
Illuminate the way ahead of us,
Please, don't snuff out all the lights
Because I'm lost, and you're my cartographer
Whatever you tell me is right
Without your maps to help me get out of here,
I don't know which way to turn.
Without your maps to steer me away from you,
There's no way that I'll ever learn.
I need you.
(Please,
Just take my hand.
Come away,
No thoughts or plans.
Just you,
You here with me,
Let our hearts grow,
Our souls expand.)
