Alaska

I wonder what it might be like to be within the same four walls as you again
 Pressed against the cabinet in your room
 I watch you throw the pillows to the floor
 
 Your daily affirmations in the corner of your mirror penned in lipstick
 I read 'em over three times on my own
 I resist the urge to add another line
 To your life
 To your time here
 Till it burns out with the lights
 Are you leaving or just getting home?
 It gets so hard for me to tell
 When I'm out here all alone
 ♪
 Entangled in your presence while you told me of your time spent in Alaska
 We laughed about the silly things we've done for love
 But we were only kids then
 ♪
 And I watched you get dressed for the very last time
 Just thinking how I'll never trace the contour of your spine with my fingertips again
 Watching my world become so small
 Now would you wait?
 Or are we terrified to let this marinate
 Over time or into something good?
 And I can't help but wonder if we really could
 ♪
 But then I wonder if we even should
 ♪
 Blow my mind
 I haven't felt this burning for some time now
 And I've been cold
 Selfishly aware of all my downfalls
 Then you come along
 To shake me out of nightmares
 To talk me back to sleep in peace
 ♪
 The peace I find in you
 And you find in me
 And I won't disappear
 Don't you disappear on me
