Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wish I could pull away the clothes that dress your mind
As easy as when we both undress each other
Underneath a South East sky I asked you for a light
Now I'd do anything to keep us together
[Verse 2]
Don't say that you're giving up
[Chorus]
What if you decide that you don't wanna wake up too?
I don't know what I'd do
'Cause I've built my life around you
Don't you know the skin that you're given was made to be lived in?
You've got a life
You've got a life worth living
[Verse 3]
Bussing down to Waterloo
Just to feel control
I can't fix everything
As much as I want to
[Verse 4]
You were in and out of thinking you could live past twelve
You're so much different now
It can't destroy you
[Verse 5]
So don't say that you're giving up
[Chorus]
What if you decide that you don't wanna wake up too?
I don't know what I'd do
'Cause I've built my life around you
Don't you know the skin that you're given was made to be lived in?
You've got a life
You've got a life worth living
