As Long As It Takes by Thom P Smith Lyrics

I was gonna get your name tattooed across my chest
But I could never finish what I start
And everyone I love had to watch me come undone
Because I lost the key to your heart

If I could just hold out and learn to shut my mouth
I think you would have stayed around a while
But I couldn't hold my tongue I said you were the one
You know that's kind of always been my style

So I keep searching for the signs
That look in your eyes
The smile across your face as we said our goodbye's
A momentary glance while we werе making plans
I laid out my future in your hands

Then the wintеr came I slipped out of the frame
Just another number in your phone
If I could find the guts to call you up I would
But I know you wouldn't be alone
So I'll keep searching for the words
And hope that you return to tell me that you've made a mistake
And I shouldn't hold my breath but it's all that I've got left
And I'll be here as long as it takes

I was dreaming that my heart stopped
Standing on the rooftop
Fell down on my knees and screamed your name
And you were bathed in sunlight
And everything just felt right
For that moment you said you'd felt the same

So I'll keep searching for the words
And hoping you return I know everyone they make the same mistake
And I'll keep holding my breath cos it's all that I've got left
And I'll be here as long as it
I'll be here as long as it
I'll be here as long as it takes
