Should I wait for you?
Would you make me stand alone?
Could I take you back to the bible belt I'm from?
Will you feel my words
When they lift you from the floor?
Will you break my heart when the feelings overload

Won't you take my hand?
Could you be my girl?
Can't you stay with me
In a perfect world?
Won't you cherish me?
Can't you start today?
Will you bleed for me?
Will you start it all today?

Could I lay with you?
Taste your skin and feel your love?
Will you rise with me
To the stars that shine above?
If I fade, you stay
If you crumble, I'll be strong
In our world today
And the violence that comes

Won't you take my hand?
Could you be my girl?
Can't you stay with me
In a perfect world?
Won't you cherish me?
Can't you start today?
Can't you bleed for me?
Will you start it all today?

Won't you cherish me?
Can't you start today?
Won't you bleed for me?
Will you start it all today?
