If I love you with all my heart will my heart stop beating,

Sometime it's hard to sleep, afraid I'll miss that meeting.

If I follow you to the end of the earth, will we fall and die,

I’ll love you instead with all my heart if you’ll let me try.

 

If you push me down an escalator, shove me from the tower

To burning pits and barber wire fence and leave me for an hour.

Will you lick my wounds and stroke my hair, mend me till I’m whole

And lead me blind to search the place where I misplaced my soul.

 

If love is as deep, deep as the sea, please don’t let me drown,

Lift my body onto the bank of the canal that runs through town,

Then drag me to a gallery, lay me on the stair,

Stay with me until I wake and dry me with your hair.

 

If we run away from all this mess, this mess of our own making,

Take me back to the back of town and stop this heart from aching.

 I’ll love you for a thousand years, at death we won’t be parted

 We’d both be bones and bodies dead back where we had started.

 

And for those who thought we’d never last, fuck you and fuck all

Fuck you and you and you two too, you know you know fuck all.

'Cause I love you to the ends of the earth across the River Styx

So put the noose around my neck and give the stool a kick.

 

Fill the room with tv sets and books and withered flowers,

I’ll sum you up with just one word and talk of you for hours.

You’ll find me here asleep and cold but my heart just won’t stop beating

But if I’m late, I’m always late too late to catch that meeting.
