Life's Too Short
Surrounded by the present, engulfed in the past
Longing to embrace it, hoping forever can last
Words can only cheapen this gift of living
Hoping one day we'll be lucky enough to see
The sparkle in both our eyes, the electricity
That we both feel at touch
Love should be at least that much
Struggling with all the lies
Standing head down, arms spread wide
Lost and lonely again
And wondering why
Cause baby life's too short
You gotta stop to see it
And I don't know
If I can keep this is a secret
Cause I love you
And I don't care who see's it
If you told me I was dreamin' girl
I would have believed it
Don't wake me up
Fighting the emotions that always overwhelm
The fear that we loath in, hoping all will be well
If we're only cheatin' by telling ourselves tales
Then in the end we only end up cheating ourselves
Just listening to the tide
Sitting close as it rose high
High, high above my knees
As it comes to cover me
Struggling with all the things
Standing, wishing I had wings
Without you it's hard to fight
Just tell me why
Cause baby life's too short
You gotta stop to see it
And I don't know
If I can keep this is a secret
Cause I love you
And I don't care who see's it
If you told me I was dreamin' girl
I would have believed it
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up, if I'm dreamin'
Don't wake me up, cause I don't wanna believe
Cause baby life's too short
You gotta stop to see it
And I don't know
If I can keep this is a secret
Cause I love you
And I don't care who see's it
If you told me I was dreamin' girl
I would have believed it
Don't wake me up
