I need you like rain over a dying land… And I am dust in your open hand… I need you like rain over a dying land, A silver flame in the desert sand. I lose my name in the shape of you, In the burning haze, in the violet blue. Every road bends back to your door, Every silence leaves me wanting more. I count the hours like stones in the sun, Till the night comes down and the two are one. And I’ve tried to speak, But the words fall through. There’s a storm in me, And it sounds like you. So I whisper sweet nothings Into the dark, Love songs for ruins And a match for the spark. When the world gives nothing But a breath to hold, I will steal that moment Before it turns cold. Sweet nothings, Sweet nothings to you. Sweet nothings, Only for you. You are the ache beneath my skin, The holy place where the night begins. A black sun rising in my chest, A wound, a prayer, a place to rest. If time is dust, let it cover me slow, With your shadow where my wild veins go. I don’t need heaven, I don’t need proof, Just one more night in the dark with you. And I’ve tried to pray, But the sky won’t move. There’s a fire in me, And it burns like you. So I whisper sweet nothings Into the dark, Love songs for ruins And a match for the spark. When the world gives nothing But a breath to hold, I will steal that moment Before it turns cold. Sweet nothings, Sweet nothings to you. Sweet nothings, Only for you. Let the mountains crack, Let the red earth bleed. Let the stars go black, You’re the air I need. Let the angels turn, Let the churches fall. If I lose your light, I have lost it all. Sweet nothings… In the dark… Sweet nothings… For a broken heart… Sweet nothings… Through the dust… Sweet nothings… For the two of us… So I whisper sweet nothings Into the dark, Love songs for ruins And a match for the spark. When the world gives nothing But a breath to hold, I will steal that moment Before it turns cold. I whisper sweet nothings Through thunder and dust, Through fire and distance, Through hunger and rust. Sweet nothings, Sweet nothings to you. Sweet nothings, Only for you. Sweet nothings, Sweet nothings to you. Sweet nothings, I belong to you. I need you like rain over a dying land, And I am dust in your open hand. Sweet nothings… Sweet nothings to you…
