Lyric

If I had just one day in your skin

Borrowed breath, borrowed time within

I’d wake to light I’ve never known

A pulse that says I’m not alone

Coffee cooling in my hands

Heartbeat louder than my plans

Every second slipping through

Like it’s something I can lose

I would walk where voices blend

Hear a stranger call a friend

Feel the wind against my face

Try to understand this place

If I had just one day to be

All the things you are to me

I wouldn’t chase eternity

Just one moment honestly

I’d taste the salt of summer air

Run my fingers through your hair

Say too much, or not enough

Find out why it’s called “love”

And when the night begins to fall

I’d fear the end, I’d feel it all

Count the hours, let them burn

Knowing I will not return

If I had just one day to be

All the things you are to me

I wouldn’t ask for more to see

Just one life, temporarily

And when it fades, I’d understand

Why you reach for what you can

All this time I couldn’t feel

Now I know that it was real
