[Verse 1] Your keys beside the bowl, your shoes beside the door, I call your name; you answer from the second floor. We share one plate, you leave the sweeter half for me How much of love is knowing where someone will be? “Tears in Heaven” playing while you rinse the rice; I watch you hum and lose my appetite. [Pre-Chorus] Your eyes hold a million ways our lives could go, Whole worlds in a look you may not know you show. But every version brings me back to this: How can something end that feels like this? [Chorus] I’m scared, scared of the days you won’t be there, Of calling out your name into the air. Time has never promised it would spare The one whose breathing tells me you’re still here. Could I live untouched, with nothing left to lose? Would a life without this ache be worth it to you? I’m scared of all the things love cannot spare— But I would choose you, even I’m so scared. So scared [Verse 2] You wish the whole house sweet dreams from the stairs, Then turn around to ask if I’ll be coming there. Like “Be with You”, I bargain with the rain: One season more, then ask for it again. A Murakami strings whisper doubled in the blue; In either world, I’d want to come home to you. Still [Pre-Chorus 2] I know forever isn’t ours to guarantee; The clock keeps moving while your hand is holding me. Still, I pass the plate and ask about your day— Must loving you mean learning you can’t stay? [Chorus] I’m scared, scared of the days you won’t be there, Of calling out your name into the air. Time has never promised it would spare The one whose breathing tells me you’re still here. Could I live untouched, with nothing left to lose? Would a life without this ache be worth it to you? I’m scared of all the things love cannot spare— But I would choose you, even I’m so scared. So scared [Breakdown — Instrumental Drop] [Pre-Chorus 3 — Emotional] If heaven is somewhere neither hand can reach, Let me say the things I thought would keep. You’re right beside me—why am I in tears? You touch my face. I say, “I’m glad you’re here.” [Chorus] I’m scared, scared of the days you won’t be there, Of calling out your name into the air. Time has never promised it would spare The one whose breathing tells me you’re still here. Could I live untouched, with nothing left to lose? Would a life without this ache be worth it to you? I’m scared of all the things love cannot spare— But I would choose you, even I’m so scared. So scared
