I got what I got
All I ever wanted
More than what I needed
Please keep it close
If I'm fizzling out
Is it really such a bad thing?
I'd rather the lights dim slowly to bring
It all to a close

Have you given a thought
To all you've ever wanted?
I've been looking for someplace safe and sound
Where a grand finale
Can go out without a bang
A hush is enough to momentarily hang around

(The lights go out)

Consumed by a twenty-something lifestyle
Of bending the truth and sleeping with my friends
Avoiding family and funerals
Learning lessons, superluminally
There's still nights when I can sleep
Until I'm reminded
I have all that I wanted
All of our time gripping it tight
Getting close to the light
All of our time gripping it tight
Aligned to make things right
All of our time gripping it tight
Getting close to the light
All of our time gripping it tight
Aligned where I fall

Right in your arms
Sheltered from harm (Right in your arms)
Right in your arms, there's a watch on my wrist
It's counting a lifetime, how could you miss it?
Forever is more than the sum of our seconds
Having each other is heaven
