[Verse 1]

You stitched my heart back on my sleeve

And you showed it how to beat

And you showed me how to breathe

You open me up like a seam

As I wait for surgery

As I wait for surgery

So, put me back together in one piece

Give me the medicine I need

[Chorus]

When you're away

Know I'll wait just to feel you

I'm scared that I'll die without you

I'm lost, you're not around

While the minutes chase me down

So, as long as we hold on

We can be worlds apart

[Verse 2]

When all else failed, I'd given up

A ship that's wrecked at sea

But you made it through to me

And in my head

Your face ingrained

My eyes so tightly shut

And the image of our masterpiece

Can only right the wrong's inside of me

Give me the medicine I need

[Chorus]

When you're away

Know I'll wait just to feel you

I'm scared that I'll die without you

I'm lost, you're not around

While the minutes chase me down

So, as long as we hold on

We can be worlds apart

Let's watch the sun burn out

As the sky turns amber red

We'll watch the sun burn out

And I don't care if we're the only two left on this Earth

I'd kill to keep these memories of you

And in a hundred years I hope you pull me close

And still remember how this feels

[Chorus]

When you're away

Know I'll wait just to feel you

I'm scared that I'll die without you

I'm lost, you're not around

While the minutes chase me down

So, as long as we hold on

We can be worlds apart
