Listen here, this will only be

A small portion of your nighttime

I asked and you were born

Got me begging for your storm

I'm gonna lock you up and love you down

I can't take this anymore

Nights are old, but I am young

Across the sea writing letters home

Answer me, let me hear your voice

And I don't know where you've gone

And trust me girl

Like the snow you fall upon me
