I’ll step into your orbit quietly
Act like I’m not changing anything in me
I’ll let you talk like nothing’s wrong
While I learn how to stay too long
You say you’re keeping doors open wide
And I pretend I don’t read between the lines
No promises, no reason why
But I still fall every time
And I know I’m holding on
To the moments when we talk till dawn
You smile like it’s all innocent
While I fall for what you never meant
What I wouldn’t give for one week with you
No forever, just something true
Every second burning bright
In that short, perfect borrowed night
You told me once you tried before
With someone like me, but it didn’t work
Still I wonder what that was like
To be the reason you stayed the night
I’d take that week and make it gold
No need for forever to feel whole
Just one story I could keep
Even if it never sleeps
And I know I’m holding on
To the moments when we talk till dawn
You smile like it’s all innocent
While I fall for what you never meant
What I wouldn’t give for one week with you
No forever, just something true
Every second burning bright
In that short, perfect borrowed night
I won’t ask you to choose a side
I’ll stay where I don’t get to decide
But I still imagine every day
You turning to me and saying, “Stay”
I’ll take my chances, small and thin
For just a week, I’d let you in
A love that burns, then disappears
Still feels real inside my ears
[Final Chorus]
What I wouldn’t give for one week with you
Even if it’s something we can’t hold through
I’d let it hurt, I’d let it shine
Just to call it yours for a moment in time
