I Could Be

[Verse 1]
If you fall into my arms, I will keep you fallen
And if you break down in my doorway, I will sleep with you there
And if you cry out in the dark, I will hear you calling
And if you are cold on a warm day, I will shiver at your side
At your side

[Chorus]
I could be yours, if you write me a letter
I could be yours, if you see me in the street
I could be sometimes, always or never
I could be all of the things you'd ask of me
You'd ask of me

[Verse 2]
If you are tired and trembling, I will hold you in your bed
And if you're consumed by a red rage, I will stroke your maddened head
And if you are chased by your nightmare, I will dive into your dreams
And if you are followed by old ghosts, I will watch them till they leave
Till they leave

[Chorus]
I could be yours, if you write me a letter
I could be yours, if you see me in the street
I could be sometimes, always or never
I could be all of the things you'd ask of me

[Brige]
But how, how do I go
If your heart won't let me know?
And how, how can I be
If your eyes still help me see?
And where, where can I run
If your legs still hold me up?
And who, who can I be
If your lungs still help me breathe?

[Chorus]
I could be yours, if you write me a letter
I could be yours, if you see me in the street
I could be sometimes, always or never
I could be all of the things you'd ask of me
You'd ask of me
