Description
This was written as an open assignment in Songwriting I at Grant Macewan University. It's about giving yourself away, and the vulnerability that comes along with that. What I've found people are most scared about is leaving themselves in someone else's hands, only to be dropped from an entirely unsafe height.
Lyrics
There was a time When the sun got tired of rising for us I didn’t mind at all. There was a time When I got tired of rising for the sun But you wouldn’t let me fall, you said Chorus: I’ll stay as long as you need me to but Please don’t break my heart I’ll leave if you want to be alone right now But you know I won’t be far I’ll be there when you call. Time doesn’t pass When you’re waiting for your time to come so We can’t waste time at all. Life doesn’t last When you’re waiting for your life to call, no Life doesn’t last at all But you said Chorus: I’ll stay just as long as you need me to but Please don’t break my heart I’ll leave if you want to be alone right now But you know I won’t be far I’ll be there when you call Instrumental Bridge Chorus: I’ll stay just as long as you need me to but Please don’t break my heart I’ll leave if you want to be alone right now But you know I won’t be far I’ll be there when you call
