And tear away the distance,
To bring you close to me."

Who gets to be the first to see you
Or the coffee cup
Who gets to kiss your sleepy lips awake."

When it rains, we'll always be close to each other.
You can see me and I can hear you.
When it is raining at two in the morning, you wake up because of
the sound of rain
Out of nowhere your room lights up from your
window.
Just for that brief moment, you are surrounded by me.
Moments later I hear thunder crack and I know it's you proclaiming your love for me.
You're my thunder and I'm your lightning."

Hold your hand,
Feel your breath,
Hear your heart.
I want to be with you."
