It's so hard to sleep when I'm around you
I'd rather lay awake all night long
Rather double up on coffee
Than to miss a single minute in your arms
And if I had never found you
I wouldn't mind all of the passing days
But you came around the corner
And in just a moment, everything was changed

And now
Each night is one night I have less
Heartbeat, countdown in my chest
We only got what we got, so don't let me go

Oh, it breaks my heart right down the middle
This love of ours is just for a little bit
I can only love you for a lifetime
And I wish these hands could hold on forever
If I could, I'd dance right up to Heaven
But I can only love you for a lifetime

And it's bittersweet, 'cause I'm one of the lucky ones
But time is a tornado that we're running from
And it comes in a flash
'Nother minute in the past
And suddenly you're slipping through my hands

And now
Each night is one night I have less
Heartbeat, countdown in my chest
We only got what we got, so don't let me go

Oh, it breaks my heart right down the middle
This love of ours is just for a little bit
I can only love you for a lifetime
And I wish these hands could hold on forever
If I could, I'd dance right up to Heaven
But I can only love you for a lifetime

(Can only love you) I can only love you
(Can only love you) I can only love you
(Can only love you) for a lifetime
