& you said it would be funny
To keep me hanging in suspense
Then I'd run over to your house
& I'd scale the chain link fence
That borders your backyard
& then I'd climb through your window
& I'd whisper that I love you
As you fall out of your clothes

& we'd lay there in the darkness
Like the dream of you I had
Where we captured all the fireflies
& we knew what time we had
Could be counted on your fingertips
That almost made you cry
You let me hold you tightly
As we said all our goodbyes and

May I say I love you more?
May I say I love you more?

& it must have been an hour
That I clutched you in my arms
& I must have said the right things
Because you instantly felt warm
& you heard my heart stop beating
& you wanted not to cry
As your sympathetic whispers
They told a tale of bad goodbyes

& you swore you saw me laughing
& I swore I saw you smile
& this time we spent together
Is meant to last us quite a while
As I take this piece of you with me
I'll carry to my grave
Knowing that for someone
You're an angel sent to save

Keep breathing my angel
If you go down I go with you
Keep breathing just keep breathing
(May I say I loved you more?)
Keep breathing my angel
If you go down I go with you
Keep breathing just keep breathing
(May I say I loved you more?)

Let's drink to memories we shared
Down one to all the hopes & cares
Here's two for being unaware
That you're gone
Because before too long
You'll be a memory

Let's drink to memories we shared
(Before too long you'll be a memory)
Down one to all the hopes & cares
(Because before too long you'll be a memory)
Here's two for being unaware
(I said before too long you'll be a memory)
That you're gone you're gone
(I said before too long you'll be a memory)
