[Intro] [Verse 1] You linger after midnight, reluctant to leave You learn all my silences, all I conceal Your coat on my chair, your scent on my sheets Such ordinary things have undone me completely You speak of tomorrow as if I'll be there And I catch myself wishing I could share [Pre-Chorus] Your heartbeat calls me through the night… But now it's not the thirst I fight… How can I love you… and still let you die? [Chorus] Choose the night… Stay by my side… Would you give up mortality? Almost forever… Almost mine… Would you choose eternity? [Verse 2] I want your sleepy smile when the morning comes… Your hand in mine when the day's begun… The petty arguments, the nights we stay awake The thousand little memories time will never take You think I'm frightened of the life we'd leave behind But I'd walk into the dark with your hand in mine [Pre-Chorus) Your heartbeat calls me through the night… But now it's not the thirst I fight… How can I love you… and still let you die? [Final Chorus] Choose the night… Stay by my side… Would you give up mortality? Almost forever… Almost mine… Would you choose eternity? [Bridge] I could whisper, you'd obey… Steal your choice and make you stay… But I'd rather bear this endless ache… Than have a love I had to take… [Breakdown] Almost mine… Almost ours… I could keep you… But I won't choose your life tonight…
