Love is not
What we thought
Before we fell this far
We were both
Too young to see
If love would trap or set us free
So please don't make me wait too long
Because without you I'm not that strong
And please don't make me believe
That love has passed us on
Oh, touch the flame to my lips, please
Before the fire's gone
Before the fire's gone
The stillness in
The air we breath
Solidifies, won't let us leave
And the silence that
We've learned to need
Holds us here, won't set us free
So please don't make me wait too long
Because without you I'm not that strong
And please don't make me believe
That love has passed us on
Oh, touch the flame to my lips, please
Before the fire's gone
Before the fire's gone
And I love how your words taste sweet
As you whisper them into my mouth
And write a book where our sheets form
The pages of our love
I love how we fall asleep
Kept warm in each other's arms
And I read your words in my dreams
Until we have to face the break of dawn
So please don't make me wait too long
Because without you I'm not that strong
And please don't make me believe
That love has passed us on
Oh, touch the flame to my lips, please
Before the fire's gone
Before the fire's gone
