Two Heartbeats
Two heartbeats
It’s just two heartbeats till dawn
And I wanna fly
Through the sunrise
To the other side
Back when I was younger
To a magical time
Back into your smile
When it was mine
I’d wrap you in a promise
And paste a solemn kiss
On a love letter to me
About what I’ll soon miss
Or maybe I wouldn’t
Maybe I’d just lie
And say I don’t love you
And kiss your lips goodbye
I could set one of us free
Under the stars that night
Before our broken hearts
Become possessed by fright
Before the tears and blood
Are heavy on our mind
Before forever and someday
Lost all their shine
It’s just two heartbeats till dawn
And I wanna fly
Through the sunrise
To the other side
Back when I was younger
To a magical time
Back into your smile
When it was mine
I’d wrap you in a promise
And paste a solemn kiss
On a love letter to me
About what I’ll soon miss
Or maybe I wouldn’t
Maybe I’d just lie
And say I don’t love you
And kiss your lips goodbye
I could set one of us free
Under the stars that night
Before our broken hearts
Become possessed by fright
Before the tears and blood
Are heavy on our mind
Before forever and someday
Lost all their shine

I appreciated the child-like perspective of letting someone go, even though you still love them. It's almost like a travel back in time to another life, another point of view. Thanks for sharing this.
