I woke up crying for my love
I called for you and you appeared
You held me close so tenderly
You smiled and kissed away my tears

I feel like time is running out
Please tell me how to make it through
I want to try and keep you safe
I want to share this life with you

I want to make a home with you
I need to know you want it too
The pain of distance has revealed
I need you here
And I’ll be healed
I want to build a home with you

You think I’m strong, you think I’m good
But you should know I’m wounded too
Don’t look too close: You’ll see my scars
So please be gentle, if you do

I wake up tired
I dream awake
All colors fade
Time steals our youth
I was too scared to say these words
But I can finally speak the truth

I want to make a home with you
I need to know you want it too
The pain of distance has revealed
I need you here
And I’ll be healed
I want to build a home with you
