how_do_you_hold_onto_a_meteor
lovers lament here one moment, there's all hope you won't be gone the next
i'm just afraid of riding this crest of hope
only to crash into the surf and be lost beneath the surface
my body's a furnace, and the heat is consuming me
i just need your touch, your kiss
to conform this bliss isn't some misunderstanding
are you handing me your heart or serving mine up for more pain
i'm going insane until i see your face till you're on my side of the world
until the tide takes me prisoner
or cuts me loose to lie gasping on the sand
dry land never interested me
i want to lose myself in the sea of your eyes
i want blue skies for awhile
i've exiled myself from the world of the living
but the love you've given me is like a pardon from the wasteland
i'm just used to watching for the quicksand
offer me your hand and lift me out of this
we could exist on a higher level of consciousness
away from the emptiness of this place
i need your grace to save me
the light that you gave me could shine through the darkest night
give me sight where i used to stumble
i'm troubled by the uncertainty of it all
i didn't want to let down the walls
don't take my uncertainty personally
i'm just afraid of holding onto a meteor as it falls
scared of this burning out before it hits the atmosphere
of being scalded by your brilliance
scared of the consequences
of letting my heart roam free
i don't want to be just another waste of time
i want to be the love of your life...
