Losing my Center

I'm losing my center
I melt from within
Soft on my heartstrings
You slip through my skin 

I'm needing to hold you 
So please let me try 
For today is a lifetime 
And tomorrow another goodbye

Remember last summer  
when we took the hog
on up to  the mountains 
and through hot spring falls 
the flowers a whirl 
of purple and green 
I hold you too  tight 
And you slip through my wings 

I'm needing to hold you 
So please let me try 
For today is a lifetime 
And tomorrow another goodbye

Remember that dive bar?
How we snuck out back 
And smoked that dirt weed and ate delicious  snacks
You told me you loved me,and I believed to be true 
So please let me hold you before i'm just dreaming of you 

I'm needing to hold you 
So please let me try 
For today is a lifetime 
And tomorrow another goodbye

I'm losing my center
I melt from within
Soft on my heartstrings
You slip through my skin 

I'm needing to hold you 
So please let me try 
For today is a lifetime 
And tomorrow another goodbye
