.

to stop the world

he was cold
deep within
she held him by the fire
held him to her fire
he lived again

she would do anything
to stop the world

he was torn
deep within
she kept her arms around him
in case he flew away

she would do anything
to stop the world
so hard to hold him
harder still to say
where he lost his reason
to stay

he would die for anyone
give himself to anyone
he was tired
deep within
she pressed her lips against him
until he breathed again

she would do anything
to stop the world
so hard to hold him
harder still to say
where he lost his reason
to stay

he'd die for anyone
lay on down for anyone
he'd die for anyone
he'd die for anyone

will you live for me?
will you live for me?
