ugly love

Lyrics

lay with me and count the stars, let's guess how far away they are, there's no wrong or right about them, they're just smiling back at us, no motive and no intention, they never wanted anything from us, they don't want anything, the tighter you hold it, the further it slips away, you know i want it, want it to stay, the tighter you hold it, the further it slips away, you know i want it, want it to stay, we don't take many photographs, so i wrote this song to make the moment last, i can feel you in my bones, i have warm bones and yours are cold, i drew a heart on the window of your car, j. and b. forever and ever, you turn your light on the car in front of us, light us up so i can see how scared you are, i'll be home before you know it, but i still can't promise you anything, please just wait for me, i'll give you everything, the tighter you hold it, the further it slips away, you know i want it, want it to stay, the tighter you hold it, the further it slips away, you know i want it, want it to stay, the tighter you hold it, the further it slips away, you know i want it, want it to stay, the tighter you hold it, the further it slips away, you know i want it, want it to stay, i can see the city from my window seat, i watch my life go on without me, without me, my love's an ugly love but it's real, and it lasts a long, long time, i've got nothing left inside but i can still make you smile, the tighter you hold it, the further it slips away, you know i want it, want it to stay, the tighter you hold it, the further it slips away, you know i want it, want it to stay, the tighter you hold it, the further it slips away, you know i want it, want it to stay, the tighter you hold it, the further it slips away, you know i want it, want it to stay
