As You Go - Jess Penner

I know it’s close we’re reaching the end

my mind says run but love steps in

to hold you up against my skin

I’ve never felt so open so broken

We were born to fall apart

and there’s no way to shield these hearts

to build it up and to watch it fall

or to never build at all

I don’t want to say goodbye

even though it’s time to move on

But as you go I want you to know

that I will not forget all the ways you’ve grown me

I wish I could be where you are

Cross the thin line into the deep

you close your eyes and you take that leap

I’d follow just to stop this heart from breaking

I don’t want to say goodbye

even though it’s time to move on

But as you go I want you to know

that I will not forget all the ways you’ve grown me

I wish I could be where you are

but it’s not my time

And if someday we meet again

in a different life with another plan

well maybe then we won’t have to say goodbye

I tried to hold on to you

I begged you not to leave

kissed the air back into lips gone blue

‘till the last heart beat

But as you go I want you to know

that I will not forget all the ways you’ve grown me

I hope someday we will meet again

and maybe then we won’t have to say goodbye
