Purely Selfish

You're only one more sleep away
And soon the waiting will be over
Although I know you're on your way
Well, I've never been more nervous

I wish you didn't have to leave
Everything you know behind
But I really do believe
By being cruel, I'm being kind

And it's purely selfish
But I need you here with me
In the air and over water
We're defying gravity
And it's basic instinct
That keeps me from my sleep
I know that you need me
But I need you selfishly
Purely selfishly

The panic rushes from my brain
I'm always catastrophizing
If any harm should come your way
I'd only have myself to blame then

Just your existence brings me fear
Sometimes it fills my heart with dread
Of course, you bring me so much joy
Although it often goes unsaid
'Cause I'm distracted by the emptiness
I have when you're not near
The world stops turning, I can't concentrate
I need to have you here

And it's purely selfish
But I need you here with me (ah ah ah ah)
In the air and over water
We're defining gravity
And it's basic instinct
That keeps me from my sleep
I know that you need me
But I need you selfishly

And it's purely selfish
But I need you here with me (ah ah ah ah)
In the air and over water
We're defining gravity
Is a basic instinct
That keeps me from my sleep
I know that you need me
But I need you selfishly
Purely selfishly
