when you were mine

I can't stop listening to tegan & sara.
So read my lyrics

I'm walking past the factories with my arms stretched out wide
If this were my oasis you'd walk along side me all day
then we'd run past the houses they're building in place
of all of the memories we have yet to create

We can drift through the ocean with the tides dragging us
and we'll get lost for hours beneath the sun in the sea
we'll watch it go down and the sky fade to gray
I'll tether you to my heart like a boat to a dock
and you'll never be more than a few feet away

I know I might sound hopeless
but I can't keep from wondering
what it could feel like
to fill the empty space by your side

So we'll walk through the allys and we'll stroll down the sidewalk
sI'll be held on earth with your arms wrapped around me
and I'll never feel more free than I do beside you
and as the shadows begin to fill me with fear
I will smile up towards you at the words that you whisper
in hopes that you will become my savior tonight

The stars start to blend into the shadows of the sun
and all the clocks in the city strike half past the hour
it's gotten late and my heart's gotten cold
but your voice helps to make me not feel so alone
It may only be an hour til you decide to go home
but promise me this won't be the last time I see you around

I know I might sound hopeless
but I can't keep from wondering
what it could feel like
to fill the empty space by your side
