hold me for as long as you can;
the violins are singing out stars as they rise
into the night sky
to hang there for hours
until the sun comes
to shoo them away.
hold me for as long as you can;
because i'm going to be gone soon, despite what
the stars might be telling you
with their little whispers of this and that
and lost wishes they
lied about.
hold me for as long as you can;
it doesn't matter either way.
i gotta go, i gotta run and i gotta fly away
from you and all of this.
if i come back again maybe i'll tell you why, but for now
i'm only allowed to say good-bye.
hold me for as long as you can;
i was made to live without you,
and that's what i'm gonna do now.
the unbelievers can say what they want
the believers can think what they want;
but i know i love you (for now),
but i know i'm leaving you (for now),
and it doesn't matter at all.
