Want You More

from Tumbling After by Jessica Smucker

lyrics

I’m a little fly on heaven’s wall.
I’ve seen how this ends, I’ve seen it all.
Don’t look up - the stars are trying not to fall.
Somewhere in the dark you held my hand.
I slipped into your heart like sinking sand.
All of this was written long before it began.

You could be my lover or my death at the turn of a hand.

I don’t have the common sense to give you up
even though
life was so much easier before you came along.
Something in the way you break my heart each day
takes my breath away
and I want you more.

I don’t want to keep you from your life.
I just want to wrap you in the night
pull you to the crooked edge and hold you tight.
All the little things we can’t control
I don’t need your body or your soul
I just want to dance with you in this borrowed light.

Oh my lover, oh my death, it’s always the same.

I don’t have the common sense...
