When you leave

Take me with you

So that we can lose our feet

On unfamiliar maps

Together

I never want to grow old with you.

I never want to sit bedside you and regret the things we thought we'd do but never tried.
I never want the what ifs to outweigh the failures, or passion to be poisoned by the past.
I never want to grow old with you.
Even when our bones are tired and our hair is silver, I want to live a life of childish wonder.
And when we dance our grand finale, and journey one last time, I want to know that what is left behind ...
... Is an echo of a life worth living.  

I can’t save you sweet heart
From the demons of doubt
That crawl through your veins
That tear at your heart,
Rip your faith apart,
Hold your dreams in chains.
 
I can’t save you sweet heart
From falling apart
In the ‘what if’ and ‘never was’
That aches in your bones,
And can not be tamed

I can't save you sweet heart

But you can
