Intertwined Mishaps

My heart races
It's pounding beneath my rib cage
Funny thing: a rib cage
Meant to protect your heart from getting hurt
But what happens when the pain isn't physical?
What good is a rib cage to me then?

don't let go
hold onto my heart
feel it beating in your palm
don't you dare break it apart
don't let go
even when it starts to sting
learn to just love the pain
it can change everything
don't let go

If I can't fall asleep would you forgive me?
Because you're better than any possible dream
If I lay here on your chest could you forget the rest
And just try your very best
Never let me feel alone again
Never let me shiver from the wind
Never let such a good thing end
Can you try your best for me?

If I kiss your lips would you grab me by the hips
And watch the world with me as it slips?
And if I say three words what will I get in return?
Will you turn to ice or will we burn?
Never let me feel alone again
Never let me shiver from the wind
Never let such a good thing end
Can you try your best for me?

What would you say if I could find a way
To interlock hands and allow you to stay
What would you do if I said I choose you?
Would you tell me you feel the same, too?
Never let me feel alone again
Never let me shiver from the wind
Never let such a good thing end
Can you try your best for me?
