Ache

So this is what it's like to know
That this is the time to let go
And yet to hold, hold to hope and don't
'Cause this is what it's like to ache
To venture out naked into driving rain
To stand beneath the tallest tree
To wait to see the lightning that is striking
All around this faith

So don't mind me or the nonchalance I fake
The more I see, the heavier you weigh
But please by all means, stay

'Cause this is what it's like to want
To kill this hope would only leave it free to haunt
And as it lingers longer, it's only growing stronger
The more I wish it gone

So don't mind me or the nonchalance I fake
The more I see, the heavier you weigh
But please by all means, stay

By all means, please, stay

'Cause this is what it's like to lose
To give in and decide to choose
To live and live well without you
But for so long, you have been my muse
To move on leaves me confused
The maths just don't add without you

So don't mind me or the nonchalance I fake
The more I see, the heavier you weigh
But please by all means
Stay until time has time to see things my way
'Cause I know that if I can just wait for this love
This love's enough to be well worth this ache

This is what's like
I'll stand beneath the tallest tree
To wait to see the lightning that is striking
With every word you say
