Kiss Me Lyrics

You could take a photo Eternalise this moment For the days when I don't believe When our love gets stolen 'Cause there's no exception And I know time will take you far from me Let this night invade my lungs You're all I want to breathe Right beside the lake, I burn for you You burn for me So kiss me the way That you would If we die tonight And hold me the way That you would For the final time Whatever may come, somewhere deep inside There's always this version of you and I So kiss me the way That you would If we die tonight (If we die tonight) Tell me all your secrets, all the darkest moments Oh, I promise they'll be safe with me We've all been broken There's no exception But you carry it so gracefully Let this night invade my lungs You're all that I want to breathe Right beside you down at the lake I burn for you You burn for me So kiss me the way That you would If we die tonight And hold me the way That you would For the final time Whatever may come, somewhere deep inside There's always this version of you and I So kiss me the way That you would If we die tonight (If we die tonight) So I have this night in my lungs, you're all that I want to breathe Right beside you down at the lake I burn for you You burn for me So kiss me the way That you would If we die tonight And hold me the way That you would For the final time Whatever may come, somewhere deep inside There's always this version of you and I So kiss me the way That you would If we die tonight (If we die tonight)

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a final, intensely cherished night beside a lake, fueled by a desire to fully inhabit this precious present before it vanishes forever.
