Desperate sails today
They're going floating bye bye gone
I kissed your pretty mouth
Going going bye bye gone
I've seen it all too clear
The way i'll disappear
I'll fade into the black moon, the black stars
Far away from here
I'll send you a letter
Explaining my circumstance
Predicting it would be better
If we left no second chance
So why am i here holding you?
Everything we want is not what we need
Leaning on the love that is in between
I wait another minute to see this through
Waiting to let go 'til you let go too
Now i'm making a list
So i can tell you why
This love is too much work
To be the forever kind
Don't ask me to stay
Believe me i've tried
I turn to walk away
Hoping the words will be implied
So why am i still here holding you?
Everything we want is not what we need
Leaning on the love that is in between
I wait another minute to see this through
Waiting to let go 'til you let go too
Tell me the truth
Was it me was it you?
I'm standing on the outside
Watching the bottom fall through
But i'm still holding you
Everything we want is not what we need
Leaning on the love that is in between
I wait another minute to see this through
Waiting to let go 'til you let go…
Will you let go?
Desperate sails today
They're going floating bye bye gone
I kissed your pretty mouth
Going going bye bye gone
