moon shining from the sky, breeze across the fields underneath it all, a battlecry it's me against myself here with you this lonely night as i direct my silent scream up to a cold uncaring sky i spend so much time in my own secluded world to protect me from harsh reality but i strain against the bonds of my own making because tonight my only wish is to be free i touch you in the moonlight try to wake my mind to feel if nothing else ever is i need this to be real now will fade away i've got to live it till it's gone so i wrap my arms around you and wait until the dawn and i feel the night around us and the coolness of your arms the moonlight and the questions in your eyes feel your back under my skin and your breathing matching mine and i know forever         is the blink of an eye         is the day that i die         is the feel of your body pressed to mine         is the track our hearts race         is the way your lips taste         is the cool breeze blowing your hair to my face         is your voice in my ears         is the touch of my fears         is the taste of all my unshed tears         is the fear that i fight         is the touch of the night         is when i can know this feels so right moon shining from the sky, breeze across the fields underneath it all, a battlecry it's me against myself here with you this lonely night as i direct my silent scream up to a cold uncaring sky i feel you closer to me than you've ever been before but i feel the distance holding us apart i want to fight that distance but i don't know how to try how to live when i don't know how to start more than you know, i care, i trust do you even realize i want like hell to fall in love with you this lonely night as i watch the stars collapse around my eyes but i feel the cool brush of your lips on my shoulder and the rush of the kiss of the night the scent of your hair, the curve of your back and i lose myself in forever         is the blink of an eye         is the day that i die         is the feel of your body pressed to mine         is the track our hearts race         is the way your lips taste         is the cool breeze blowing your hair to my face         is your voice in my ears         is the touch of my fears         is the taste of all my unshed tears         is the fear that i fight         is the touch of the night         is when i can know this feels so right the night slips away, the magic is gone as i force my arms to let go always knew it'd be over, never thought it would end never thought that it could be so as i retreat to the sanctity of the world of my fantasy never sure if tonight was for real i still know i can face the big empty world because now i know forever         is the magic that's gone         is the music i see         is my heart beating on         is the air that i breathe         is your voice in my ears         is the fear that i fight         is the touch of my fears         is the touch of the night         is the track our hearts race         is the blink of an eye         is the way your lips taste         is the day that i die and as long as i breathe i can't help but believe you may be gone, but still i can hope because i know forever         is the fear that i fight         is the music i see         is the touch of the night         is the air that i breathe         is the blink of an eye         is the magic that's gone         is the day that i die         is my heart beating on moon shining from the sky, breeze across the fields underneath it all, a battlecry it's me against myself underneath the clouded sky but i know forever         is the blink of an eye         is the day that i die         is the feel of your body pressed to mine         is the track our hearts race         is the way your lips taste         is the cool breeze blowing your hair to my face         is your voice in my ears         is the touch of my fears         is the taste of all my unshed tears         is the fear that i fight         is the touch of the night         is when i can know this feels so right         is the magic that's gone         is my heart beating on         is the feeling of dreading the dawn         is the touch of your kiss         is to know that while this         may be gone, still forever         is the blink of an eye         is the day that i die         is the feel of your body pressed to mine         is the magic that's gone         is my heart beating on         ...is the touch of the dawn underneath it all, a battlecry and i know forever
