Universe

I’m a deer in the headlights, a parasite
I’m sorry I love you when I have no right
Your love is an easy thing to forsake
How much do you offer? How much can I take?
But even apart, I could never shake you
Somehow for me to love was to break you
I'm a shell of a man in the skin of a ghost
I gave you up when I needed you most
And then right before our time is up
You give me just a few more minutes to try
And when you call out and light my heart
We are the center of the universe
And we are the summer and we are the sun
Our future’s always been part of our song
And baby, I love you, and I want you to know
You are the center of my universe
I'm damaged goods, I’m good to discard
I'm sorry for making your life so hard
You know where to find me, you know where I hide
You're the only one out there who ever tried
Our light is my cause, my way, my reserve
A second chance I would never deserve

We’re stronger together, we’ve braved the worst
Now the time has come for me to put our love first
And then right before our time is up
You give me just a few more minutes to try
And when you call out and light my heart
We are the center of the universe
And we are the summer, we are the sun
Our future’s always been part of our song
And Baby, I love you, and I want you to know
You are my universe
