  • Shut the door
    Turn the light off
    If I wanna be with you
    I wanna feel your love
    I wanna lay beside you
    I cannot hide this
    Even though I try

    Heartbeats harder
    Time escapes me
    Trembling hands touch skin
    It makes this harder
    And the tears stream down my face

    If we could only have this life for one more day
    If we could only turn back time

    You know I'll be your life, your voice, your reason to be
    My love, my heart is breathing for this
    Moment, in time
    I'll find the words to say
    Before you leave me today

    Close the door
    Throw the key
    Don't wanna be reminded
    Don't wanna be seen
    Don't wanna be without you
    My judgement's clouded
    Like tonight's sky

    Hands are silent
    Voice's numb
    Try to scream out, my lungs
    It makes this harder
    And the tears stream down my face

    If we could only have this life for one more day
    If we could only turn back time

    You know I'll be your life, your voice, your reason to be
    My love, my heart is breathing for this
    Moment, in time
    I'll find the words to say
    Before you leave me today

    Flashing lights in my mind
    Going back to the time
    Playing games in the street
    Kicking balls at my feet
    There's a numb in my toes
    Standing close to the edge
    There's a pile of my clothes
    At the end of your bed
    As I feel myself fall
    Make a joke of it all

    You know I'll be your life, your voice, your reason to be
    My love, my heart is breathing for this
    Moment, in time
    I'll find the words to say
    Before you leave me today

    You know I'll be your life, your voice, your reason to be
    My love, my heart is breathing for this
    Moment, in time
    I'll find the words to say
    Before you leave me today, yeah Writer/s: Edward Christopher Sheeran, Simon Hulbert
