Mates - McCafferty

Her face is young

And so is mine

Kindly divide me

Read me like a book tonight

Firefly

Hold me close until I die

Hold me close until I’m warm

Laying down here on the floor

It’s made up of things that will never be

I love you and you love me

Apparently

Dramatically

Convincingly you could kiss me

We could run away

And build a house

And fix it up

And make it ours

When the roof cracks

We’ll fix it

When the pipes rust

We’ll change em

When your heart’s old and it stops

Mine will stop

Mine will stop

When your hands are old and grey

Can I hold you every day?

Can I tell you how I feel for the very last time?

And I never knew

What he was going through

Until he finally got

His self fucking shot

They say that make believe

It don’t mean anything

But I’ve seen make believe

And it means everything

They say my light will burn out

But I was just having fun

Hanging out here in the sun

Looking for my mate in life

My mate in life

When the roof cracks

We’ll fix it

When the pipes rust

We’ll change em

When your heart’s old and it stops

Mine will stop

Mine will stop

When your hands are old and grey

Can I hold you every day?

Can I tell you how I feel for the very last time?
