Right now I could use a change of heart
Or a kiss before everything falls apart
Can you tell me this love will last forever?
And as the world turns making such a mess
What’s the point of it when everything’s dispossessed?
Can we carry this love across the desert?
My love, I wish I was a photograph
Perfect and lovely in a frame
Tell me you love me
My love, my life could be an epitaph
Something to write upon my grave
Tell me you love me
Right now I could use a change of plans
When it all falls, what’s the use of open hands?
Can you tell me this love will last forever?
And as the world burns breathing in the blight
What’s the point of it if morning turns into night?
Can we carry this love? It’s now or never
I’m gonna love you. I’m gonna love you every day.
