For Keeps

That’s why I miss you
Even when you’re right there
I swear I miss you
Even when you’re right there

Every night that I hold you
I’m aware that I’ll lose you
I’m aware of the borrowed time
The certainty
Someday you’ll be gone

This life wasn’t built to last
And I know it’ll come to pass
I’ll fade or you’ll fade
And one will go before the other

What will become of our memories?
The unspoken epiphanies
Every time we fit perfectly
Arching over or underneath
That’s why I miss you
Even when you’re right there
I swear I miss you
Even when you’re right there

The gift of your kiss and the fact you exist
It all comes at a cost
We fall into the deep and we’re playing for keeps
Even though we know all will be lost
The gift of your kiss and the fact you exist
It all comes at a cost
We fall into the deep and we’re playing for keeps
Even though we know all will be lost

What will become of our memories?
The unspoken epiphanies
Every time we fit perfectly
Arching over or underneath
That’s why I miss you
Even when you’re right there
I swear I miss you
Even when you’re right there

Every night that I hold you
I’m aware that I’ll lose you
I’m aware of the borrowed time
The certainty
Someday you’ll be gone

Every night that I hold you
I’m aware that I’ll lose you
I’m aware of the borrowed time
The certainty
Someday you’ll be gone

What will become of our memories?
The unspoken epiphanies
Every time we fit perfectly
Arching over or underneath
That’s why I miss you
Even when you’re right there
I swear I miss you
Even when you’re right there
