can i keep you?

can i keep you?
would that be alright?

hold you close and
hold you tight.
have you next to me
every night.

can we run away?
never look back?

just two lost hearts and
some light packs.
i'll hold your hand
as we walk down the track.

can we sail off?
out to sea on a bright day?

I'll man the sails
and you steer the way.
we'll watch the sun set
over the bay.

will you at least stay in my dreams?
or let me wake from this nightmare?

be my ghost.
i don't even care.
dry my tears
and brush your fingers through my hair.

will you set my heart free?
know it's the place that you'll always be?

sit inside it comfortably
listen carefully to the beat.
and share my secrets
no one else can see.

if i went back...
would you change your mind?

could i give you any reason
to stay alive.
say i'll always
run at your side.

can i keep you?
would that be alright?

i'll just pretend your with me.
just for tonight.
i'll just pretend your with me.
just every night.
