[Verse 1] If I could have you Only for a moment If I could memorize the way it feels To finally call you mine If I could close the distance That’s been standing here between us And forget about the reasons We keep running out of time If I could feel your heartbeat Right there next to mine If I could stop the world from turning Just long enough to cross that line [Chorus] Then give me one moment Just one stolen piece of forever Where the world fades away And it’s only you and me together One breath, one touch One memory I can hold onto If that’s all the universe gives me Then that’s all I’ll ask it to do Because a lifetime of wondering Would hurt more than knowing What it felt like loving you Only for a moment [Verse 2] If I could hear you whisper All the words you never say If I could see the walls come down Instead of watching you walk away If I could know the part of you That nobody else gets to see And feel what it’s like to be the place Where your heart finally feels free Maybe tomorrow disappears Maybe nothing changes when it’s through But I’d rather have one honest second Than a lifetime missing you [Chorus] So give me one moment Just one stolen piece of forever Where the world fades away And it’s only you and me together One breath, one touch One memory I can hold onto If that’s all the universe gives me Then that’s all I’ll ask it to do Because a lifetime of wondering Would hurt more than knowing What it felt like loving you Only for a moment [Bridge] So I’ll send this wish into the stars tonight Let the universe know what’s on my mind That somewhere between impossible and meant to be There’s a moment waiting there for you and me And if that’s all we ever get If that’s all fate lets us find I’d still choose one moment with you Over forever wondering why [Final Chorus] Just give me one moment One place where we don’t have to hide Where I finally know the answer To what I’ve carried deep inside One breath, one touch One memory that proves it was true That somewhere in this crazy life I got to be loved by you Even if forever never comes Even if we never get more than this I’d thank the universe for letting me know How forever felt for a moment in time
