If only you were a ship 

I'd sail the seven seas 

Claiming all the land 

In the name of you and me 

We'd drift down the coast 

In search of our new life 

But all we'd find is gold 

Just to misdirect our minds 



Don't say no 

Oh don't burn yourself alive 

Won't you take one last breath 

And hold on tight 

And when the clouds come rolling in 

To pour their summer tears 

Upon your burning skin 

I'll be waiting here 



If only I was a star 

Sewn into the sky 

Hanging from a thread 

That keeps you awake at night 

And when we would look up 

The fog would cover me 

Hiding all that we shared 

And all that we could be 



Don't say no 

Oh don't burn yourself alive 

Won't you take one last breath 

And hold on tight 

And when the clouds come rolling in 

To pour their summer tears 

Upon your burning skin 

I'll be waiting here 



And I'll be waiting here 

And I'll be standing here 

Are you listening? 



Don't say no 

Don't burn yourself alive 

Won't you take one last breath 

And hold on tight 

And when the clouds come rolling in 

To pour their summer tears 

Upon your burning skin 

I'll be waiting here 



I'll be waiting here 

And I'll be standing here 

I hope you're listening 

I hope you're listening
