lyrics

So I've got a story to tell to anyone who'll listen to me
I fell in love with a lonely girl, and she taught me how to breath free
We inspired each other when our worlds got too heavy to carry, I felt complete

This world is too important for us to give up now.
Hold your cards close to your chest, take your dreams and write them down
Cos I know, we won't be here for long,
We're passing through, but I met you and I've never felt so strong.

You were the boat across my gentle sea, you built me brick by brick till I was standing free
I was closer to you than I'll ever be, you were the one who mattered most to me.
And I want that to be here forever.

This world is too important for us to give up now.
Hold your cards close to your chest, take your dreams and write them down
Cos I know, we won't be here for long,
We're passing through, but I met you and I've never felt so strong.

There were times when I thought, it'd come crumbling down, and I'd break my bones as I hit the ground, when I looked for you, you were nowhere to be found but that's over now

This world is too important for us to give up now.
Hold your cards close to your chest, take your dreams and write them down
Cos I know, we won't be here for long,
We're passing through, but I met you and I've never felt so strong.
