lyrics
Dishes in the sink
Bills left unpaid
Clothes spread on the floor
Phonecalls ignored
My life can't proceed until your next to me
I will hold this one breath inside my chest
till you let me breathe
When I'm in your presence
Only the present has meaning
And the rest of time dissolves
And I could die in your arms
Too many cigarettes
Endless shaking fits
Vodka before bed
Nails bitten red
This isn't me
But it's all that I can be
Without you I am groundless
Have no balance on my own two feet
When I'm in your presence
Only the present has meaning
And the rest of time dissolves
And I could die in your arms
Come and rescue me
I am begging please
There is you and there is chaos
One or the other
No in-betweens
When I'm in your presence
Only the present matters to me
And the rest of time dissolves
And I could die in your arms
When I'm in your presence
Only the present has meaning
And the rest of time dissolves
And I could die in your arms
