i'm letting my guard down, i'm letting my eyes fix on you
so say what you want to, there's only a little left to prove
and breathe, like it's for the last time... time, time
so what if we take some, it's all that we are, all we can do

should I speak? you know all I want to say
should I leave? then what would it prove?
should I give? the rest I saved inside of me
should I live? and leave it up to you?
what if I do?

we're letting the heat out, just like your daddy said not to
we're splitting the difference, and a few hairs if we have to
but we breathe, like it's for the last time... time, time
sorry so late, love, I really thought I'd be early for you

what about life? what about love?
what about the crying from above?
what about him? what about her?
what about the children we once were?
you take it time, take it stride
swallow with doubt, swallow with pride
in all that you've left, what you're made of
what about life? what about love?
what if I do?

you ask me how I've been, I say
as well, as well, as well as can be considering
you answer sweet, sublimely read
as good, as good, as good as me considering
you touch in me the ways I might be
as well, as well, as well as we're considering
you look, you see, adjusting light, see
it's good, as good, as good as we're considering
