Holding my breath so I can slow down the Sun
Mould every precious second passing under your thumb

I could listen to you talk all day, I get lost in every word
In the syllables of my own name; blessed petals falling from the air, I know
The time it takes is always running out on us
And it’s cold enough for you to say that it’s time for us to make our way home

But can you stay even when the Sun’s gone down, can you stay?
Can you stay when there’s nothing left to talk about?
Can you stay a little longer?

Your silhouette attaining every fantasy of mine
With your unlit cigarette intangibly
Held to light the wick of the candle I will not permit

I could listen to you talk all day, I get lost in every word
In the syllables of my own name; blessed petals falling from the air, I know
That all it takes for me to walk out on us
Is a light to fall on your array cause a shadow lit is in decay

But can you stay even when the Sun’s gone down, can you stay?
Can you stay when there’s nothing left to talk about?
Can you stay a little longer?
