teach me how to dream forever
cause I want to remember
all the days I loved perfectly
you take my hand
and I can’t tell if you’re kidding
but maybe it’s fine
if I just stay for a little while
I can’t rely on just words
and I can’t say that it hurts when
your fingers aren’t sewn into mine
or say “maybe this time it’s different”
you can leave when you want to
I never thought that I could make you
want to stay when I don’t choose who you’re thinking of
and I can give you everything if you want it
just tell me how to believe you when you need it
and I’ll open up my arms
yeah I’ll open up my arms
I’ll open up
slow, you tell me take it slow
cause we got this whole town to explore
and a whole lot of time to get bored of each other
but there’s no other
that I’d waste away my days with, no
but maybe this time could be different
cause you’re taking my hand
and you're coming in closer
and I can’t breathe as your lips touch my shoulder
but I’m terrified of the things that I’ve told you
you can leave when you want to
I never thought that I could make you
want to stay when I don’t choose who you’re thinking of
and I can give you everything if you want it
just tell me how to believe you when you need it
and I’ll open up my arms
yeah I’ll open up my arms
I’ll open up
