A Thousand Ways
If I had the guts I’d ask you to be free
I’d ask you to roam the universe in search of me
I’d ask you to love me the way that you love him
And always hold me, always near
I swear I would ask you this
If only you were here
I remember how you wore my sweater like moonlight
and how it smelled like heaven for days
And maybe I’ll never get that close to you again
but I’ve dreamt of it a thousand ways
If I had the guts I’d ask you to dance
I’d get down on my knees, beg you for a chance
I’d shed my blood to touch the pearls that kiss your ears
I’d wipe away your every tear
I’d sell my soul to see you fly
I’d chase away your fear
