Song language: English
If We Were Vampires |
| It’s not the long flowing dress that you’re in |
| Or the light coming off of your skin |
| The fragile heart you protected for so long |
| Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong |
| It’s not your hands, searching slow in the dark |
| Or your nails leaving love’s watermark |
| It’s not the way you talk me off the roof |
| Your questions like directions to the truth |
| It’s knowing that this can’t go on forever |
| Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone |
| Maybe we’ll get forty years together |
| But one day I’ll be gone or one day you’ll be gone |
| If we were vampires and death was a joke |
| We’d go out on the sidewalk and smoke |
| And laugh at all the lovers and their plans |
| I wouldn’t feel the need to hold your hand |
| Maybe time running out is a gift |
| I’ll work hard 'til the end of my shift |
| And give you every second I can find |
| And hope it isn’t me who’s left behind |
| It’s knowing that this can’t go on forever |
| Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone |
| Maybe we’ll get forty years together |
| But one day I’ll be gone or one day you’ll be gone |
| It’s knowing that this can’t go on forever |
| Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone |
| Maybe we’ll get forty years together |
| But one day I’ll be gone or one day you’ll be gone |
