Trading Yesterday - May I

Taken from their More Than This album.

Lyrics:

And there you stand opened heart--opened doors
full of life with the world that's wanting more.
But I can see when the lights start to fade,
the day is done and your smile has gone away.

Let me raise you up.
Let me be your love.

May I hold you
as you fall to sleep,
when the world is closing in
and you can't breathe.
May I love you.
May I be your shield.
When no one can be found
may I lay you down.

All I want is to keep you safe from the cold...
to give you all that your heart needs the most.

Let me raise you up
Let me be your love

[chorus]
May I hold you (hold you)
as you fall to sleep.
When the world is closing in
and you can't breathe,
may I love you. (love you)
May I be your shield.
When no one can be found,
may I lay you down.

[bridge]
All that's made me (made me)
Is all worth trading (worth trading)
just to have one moment with you.
So I will let go (will let go)
all that I know (that I know)
knowing that you're here with me.

For your love is changing me.

[chorus]
May I hold you
as you fall to sleep.
When the world is closing in
and you can't breathe,
may I love you.
May I be your shield.
when no one can be found
may I lay you down

This reminds me of Lily and Severus :')

[placidusxsomnium]

When I am home doing nothing, this is the song I sing at the top of my lungs. It makes me feel so good.

[BartholomeuWilhelm]

It took me so long to notice that this one can be interpreted as a Christian song.

[RaiKuriChestnut]

I got two of these to play in unison.

THE MOMENT. WAS MAGICAL.

[GodButterfly100]

This is such a beautiful song. In our society today, some people think that love is just something 'that is'. They don't even bother to ask before taking, or doesn't realize that it's a compromise. And this song is just amazing, because it shows how gentle and tender true love should be, enough to the point of seeing if that other person's ok with it. <3

[Orangie844]

[mepp30]

I've honestly listened to this song probably a couple hundred times. I've cried/teared up every single time. I don't know what it is about this song... It just really pulls at my heartstrings. And that transposition at 3:50... Crazy shivers. So beautiful. Will forever be one of my favorite songs. And yes, I plan on it being my wedding song. :') Trading Yesterday is just amazing. <3
