The sky was on fire that night
We sat and watched the lights
Dancing on the water
Sand slipping through my hands
The rhythm of your heart steady as the waves
Such a beautiful evening
The crowds started leaving
But as the sun hit the horizon
You looked in my eyes and said to me
I don't wanna get left behind
When you wake up one day and realise
That the world keeps spinning without me by your side
I don't wanna be a stepping stone
Know it ain't forever, it's just my turn
'Cause I can almost feel my future in those eyes
Yeah with you I want life
And not just borrowed time
Well time passed and things got hard
Like waking up apart
And walking different cities
Between the distance and the fighting
We had days when we were flying
But figuring it all out ain't ever easy
You said I know it's been crazy
But I love you baby
And I'm done searching for something
'Cause everything's nothing next to you
Yeah
I don't wanna get left behind
When you wake up one day and realise
That the world keeps spinning without me by your side
I don't wanna be a stepping stone
Know it ain't forever, it's just my turn
'Cause I can almost feel my future in those eyes
Yeah with you I want life
And not just borrowed time
Say you need me
'Cause that's all I ever do
I hold it all when I hold you, girl
Just believe me
I won't ever let you say goodbye
We ain't running out of time
I don't wanna get left behind
When you wake up one day and change your mind
'Cause I can't breathe without you by my side
I don't wanna be a bridge you burn
Or a cold, hard lesson you had to learn
'Cause I can see a whole damn future when you smile
Yeah with you I want life
And not just borrowed time
Say you need me
'Cause girl believe me
We don't need to say goodbye
Say you need me
'Cause girl believe me
I want more than borrowed time
Ohh
Ohh
Ohh
I don't wanna get left behind
Ohh
Ohh
Say you need me
