Now That I Love You

I fell in love in an instant And then I felt the earth roll on top of me I said my prayers to Father Time Please don't make me leave It's like a stain on the covers I flip em upside down so I can't see But I feel it pressing onto my heart while I try to sleep Now that I love you I cannot keep you I just count the months Now that I love you It feels like I'm losing Right when I wake up I hear your voice and I'm wishing That sentences and space were one and the same A string of words stretched my stars and skies But it's not that way The longest drive feels like minutes I've never found such comfort in a person's face I write the words on your back 'cause now it's too sad to say Now that I love you I cannot keep you I just count the months Now that I love you It feels like I'm losing Right when I wake up Turns out nothing's set in stone Rock will crumble, even bones Somehow I'm still left alone (alone) When self preservation fails I'll feel pain I've never felt Can you hold me 'till it fades It fades It fades It fades But if I live in the moment The world sleeps while I still sleep next to you You're every reason leaving home behind is so hard to do Now that I love you I cannot keep you I just count the months Now that I love you It feels like I'm losing Right when I wake up
