Lyrics Mates - McCafferty

Mates

Her face is young
And so is mine
Kindly divide me
Read me like a book tonight
Firefly
Hold me close until I die
Hold me close until I’m warm
Laying down here on the floor
It’s made up of things that will never be
I love you and you love me
Apparently
Dramatically
Convincingly you could kiss me
We could run away
And build a house
And fix it up
And make it ours
When the roof cracks
We’ll fix it
When the pipes rust
We’ll change em
When your heart’s old and it stops
Mine will stop
Mine will stop
When your hands are old and grey
Can I hold you every day?
Can I tell you how I feel for the very last time?
And I never knew
What he was going through
Until he finally got
His self fucking shot
They say that make believe
It don’t mean anything
But I’ve seen make believe
And it means everything
They say my light will burn out
But I was just having fun
Hanging out here in the sun
Looking for my mate in life
My mate in life
When the roof cracks
We’ll fix it
When the pipes rust
We’ll change em
When your heart’s old and it stops
Mine will stop
Mine will stop
When your hands are old and grey
Can I hold you every day?
Can I tell you how I feel for the very last time?
