wake up my darling love your daring legs were born to run from the tangles of your tired youth it just occurred to me that if we ever plan to be anything more than failures we better dust our eyes so we can see that this is the life we ve waited for this is me knocking on your door this is my attempt to restore what i lost we better close our eyes cover our mouths for just tonight these plans we made are bound to take some time from a texas porch we dream of future so bright we d see it bleed through windows like the summer sun or how it would seem that this is the life we ve waited for this is me knocking on your door this is my attempt to restore what i lost with every snap you take of me close as the very breath you breathe oh if you let me oh if you let me this is the life we ve waited for this is me knocking on your door this is my attempt to restore what i lost with every snap you take of me close as the very breath you breathe oh if you let me oh if you let me
