While I Can
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I’ve been waking up inside a wonderland I don’t know
High above the clouds now we’re the ones who cast the shadows
Don’t let me fall asleep
Don’t let me disbelieve
You gotta be the one to keep me focused
Tear my heart open
I’ve never felt this way
Swear you could change my name
You’re gonna be the reason I’m unbroken
I’m gonna hold you while I can
Cos you got me feeling things I don’t understand
I’ll give up my pride and all my plans
Every second here with you is like falling sand
The more I hold you the more I lose you the more I know
Nothing lasts we’re frames of glass that break like bones
It don’t matter if all this shatters all this goes
I’ll take that chance
I’m gonna hold you while I can
I can’t take this
I keep slipping back
These old habits can’t die too fast
Don’t let me fall asleep
Don’t let me disbelieve
You gotta be the one to keep me focused
Tear my heart open
I’ve never felt this way
Swear you could change my name
You’re gonna be the reason I’m unbroken
I’m gonna hold you while I can
Cos you got me feeling things I don’t understand
I’ll give up my pride and all my plans
Every second here with you is like falling sand
The more I hold you the more I lose you the more I know
Nothing lasts we’re frames of glass that break like bones
It don’t matter if all this shatters all this goes
I’ll take that chance
I’m gonna hold you while I can
I’m gonna hold you while I can
I’m gonna hold you while I can
Cos you got me feeling things I don’t understand
I’ll give up my pride and all my plans
Every second here with you is like falling sand
I’m gonna hold you while I can
I’m gonna hold you while I can
I’m gonna hold you while I can
