Verse1

I know its dark here, you know that im scared too,

for some reason right now, of everything but you.

Right now you're all that i recognise.

You know i came here, when i needed your soft voice.

I needed to hear something, that sounded like an answer

and i wait here and sometimes i get one.

Chorus

------

Its nothing i'll forget, when the moon gets tired

you are stuck to me everyday,

believe in what i am because its all i have today, and tomorrow who knows where we'll be.

From here i can hardly see a thing, but i will follow anyone who brings me to you,

for now, forever, for on and on and on

----> Intro (x2)

Verse2

------

You know it starts here, outside waiting in the cold.

Kiss me once in the snow, i swear it never gets old

and i will promise you, i can make it warmer next year.

You know i came here, when i needed your soft voice.

I needed to hear something, that sounded like an answer

now i stay here and everyday i get one.
