Clay Aiken - As Long As We're Here Lyrics

Why do we have to fight?
Why can't spend our time, trying?
I wanna be close to you
Keep love from slipping through, my hands
The words said in anger aimed at someone
Are hard to take back once the damage is done

Let's stop now.

[Chorus]
As long as we're here, alive on this earth
I'm gonna love you, for all that it's worth
And one of these days, we're gonna understand why.

Let's make the most of our time
As long as we're here (Yeah)

Some people live their lives
Holding their fears, inside them
Afraid to build windows
To let the light of the world in.
They hide in the darkness of self-imposed walls
If they could just tear them down, they'd have it all

[Chorus]

Let's make the most of our time
As long as we're here (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

When you're with me, I breathe easy
You are my need, right now love me

[Chorus: x2]

Let's make the most of our time
Oh, I'll make the most of our time
As long as we're here,
As long as we're here.
