because of you

"well, i’m dreaming of far off places," she says,
"but you’re holding me here with your words"
as he hastens to speak again
she just draws her breath,
what will he say next?

how can i go to sleep without hearing your voice?
you’re the reason i get out of bed.
i was wondering if you had plans
for tonight or tomorrow?
for all your tomorrows?

"you make me feel like I’m all that matters," she breathes
you’ve brought new life to my aching heart
and smile i can’t wipe off my face,
it’s because of you
because of you.

"well i’m dreaming of far off places," she says,
"but you’re holding me here with your words"
