And out of the red
Out of her head she sang
Come down
And waste away with me
Down with me

If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I’ll ever ask of you

Breathe out
So I can breathe you in
Hold you in

And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I’ll ever ask of you
You gotta promise not to stop when I say when she sang

If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I’ll ever ask of you
You’ve got to promise not to stop when I say when
