I'm a deer in the headlights, a parasite I'm sorry I love you when I have no right Your love is an easy thing to forsake How much do you offer? How much can I take? But even apart, I could never shake you Somehow for me to love was to break you I'm a shell of a man in the skin of a ghost I gave you up when I needed you most And then right before our time is up You give me just a few more minutes to try And when you call out and light my heart We are the center of the universe And we are the summer and we are the sun Our future's always been part of our song And baby, I love you, and I want you to know You are the center of my universe I'm damaged goods, I'm good to discard I'm sorry for making your life so hard You know where to find me, you know where I hide You're the only one out there who ever tried Our light is my cause, my way, my reserve A second chance I would never deserve We're stronger together, we've braved the worst Now the time has come for me to put our love first And then right before our time is up You give me just a few more minutes to try And when you call out and light my heart We are the center of the universe And we are the summer, we are the sun Our future's always been part of our song And Baby, I love you, and I want you to know You are my universe
