He says he doesn't believe anything much he hears these days
He says, "Why fall in love, just so you can watch it go away?"
He spends most of his nights wishing it was how it used to be
He spends most of his flights getting pulled down by gravity
I call, just checking up on him He's up, 3 A.M., pacing
He says, "It's not just a phase I'm in" My voice comes out begging
* All this time I didn't know You were breaking down
I'd fall to pieces on the floor If you weren't around
Too young to know it gets better I'll be summer sun for you forever
Forever winter if you go
He seems fine most of the time Forcing smiles and never minds
His laugh is a symphony When the lights go out, it's hard to breathe
I pull at every thread trying to solve the puzzles in his head
Live my life scared to death he'll decide to leave instead
I call, just checking up on him He's up, 5 A.M., wasted
Long gone, not even listening My voice comes out screaming
( * )
If I was standing there in your apartment I'd take that bomb in your head and disarm it
I'd say I love you even at your darkest and Please don't go
( * )
I'll be your summer sun forever At 3 A.M., pacing
All this time I didn't know At 5 A.M., wasted
I'd be in pieces on the floor Forever winter if you go
He says he doesn't believe anything much he hears these days
I say, "Believe in one thing, I won't go away"
