The Terrace

It's standing by your side that I forget
Every scar and every wrong
The pressure of defining every step
Of deciding what belongs
It's nights like these I look up
At the stars from where I stand
A corner of the world that is contracting in defence
This ledge feels like it's breaking
Apart right in my hands
Concrete bites just like fear and I won't fall again

Leave me on this terrace
This won't be the end, no, no distance will affect us
We'll always be one step to the edge
One heartbeat closer
Don't look back 'cause I'll be holding onto
Every moment on the terrace with you

No matter what is hiding up ahead
Nothing can obscure our stars
The future will get tangled in regrets
If we suffer from afar
The skyline might be changing
But the truth is in our hands
If tonight the lights are waning
Have faith in the way we've
Stopped time over this roof
So save your tears and let me try
Nothing's broken, I know we can survive

Leave me on this terrace
This won't be the end, no, no distance will affect us
We'll always be one step to the edge
One heartbeat closer
Don't look back 'cause I'll be holding onto
Every moment, to every memory

When all is silent
When shadows close around me
There's no getting over
There's no giving in
When it gets harder
When my heart wants to cave in
Counting down the hours
Till you're standing with me once again
So leave

Leave me on this terrace
This won't be the end, no, no distance will affect us
We'll always be one step to the edge
One heartbeat closer
Don't look back 'cause I'll be holding onto
Every moment, until you're back with me
