Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Looks pure to me
There's a light I see, yeah
Won't you come with me
Still placed on the side of a knife, I could sharpen my mind
And light up, that's my touch
We're alive
But I missed you for the longest time
When you were away, I couldn't take it at all
No, I was not alright
[Verse 2]
Whenever you're coming back, just make sure that you're coming back to me
Save it up and see, yeah
Do what you do, you can run away
But the less I see you, more I'm feelin' pain, oh yeah
Sending me more deranged, oh
Make me your defender
I'll be the one that's not going anywhere
There's a side they'll never see, no, no way
[PreChorus]
I hope we're never there again
I didn't like it much, my friend
We can work on what we have here
Or we could just play pretend
I'll try it, but before I choose to go
Won't you let me know?
[Chorus]
Are you coming with me, baby?
Will you hold my hand?
We fell in love by accident
We never made a plan
We went the long way round
It finally makes sense
I love you more than I ever, I don't care what anyone says
Stay with me in real life
Not only in my head
You look so pure to me
So baby, let's just go ahead
[Verse 3]
Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead
Said you look pure to me
You're the light I need, I need
Would you lay with me?
And I'm still placed in this seat beside you
Staying right here feels sublime
Tryna be present these days, but I'm always contemplating
Open up on the daily
Might repeat what I'm saying
Predictable, but I'll be your companion
Make me the one that's all yours in every way
Show a side that only I know, my babe
[Bridge]
We've been through more than I would ever choose to take
But, honestly, I wouldn't want it any other way
And all we have is right now, it's just you and I someplace
We could leave without a trace
Let me know
[Chorus]
Are you coming with me baby?
Will you hold my hand?
We fell in love by accident
We never made a plan
We got turned upside down
And it didn't make much sense
But I love you more than ever, we'll never go through that again
Stay with me now if you please
I'll put this song to bed
You are so pure to me
And that's all
