Serenade for Sarah

by Matt Swanson   Nov 12, 2007


Lost in your eyes
I'm afraid of the night
Between you and I
There�s too much to say

I know I'm not worth
The time that you give me
I just want you to know
I need you to stay

Chorus:
Kiss me, kill me in the rain
Hug me, share with me your pain
I promise to love you for now and ever more
So please, please, don't close that door.

Matt and Sarah, they're killer pals, right?
For him, she will cry. For her, he will fight.
Sarah, Sarah, this song is for you.
Sarah, oh, Sarah, what can I do?

Planning their lives, bit by bit
They didn't know, they didn't know shit
Cause the world is cruel, the world is tough
Alone, without each other, they weren't enough.

Kiss me, kill me in the rain
Hug me, share with me your pain
I promise to love you for now and ever more
So please, please, don't close that door.

Truth and hope were what they needed
Lies and ruin were what they got.
They argued about it, the conflicts got heated
Friendship is money, but love can't be bought.

Doing what they can, just to stay alive
Acting for each other, just to survive
Rolling like thunder in their brightest dreams
Watching it all come apart at the seams.

Kiss me, kill me in the rain
Hug me, share with me your pain
I promise to love you for now and ever more
So please, please, don't close that door.

Time everlasting, I need you here with me
To comfort and love me, till death do us part
My love for you can't fill up the seas
I promise you this, I cross my heart

Sing to me softly, sing to me sweetly
I serenade you because I need you here with me
Give me one chance, just one single dance
And I promise you that you will be happy

Kiss me, kill me in the rain
Hug me, share with me your pain
I promise to love you for now and ever more
So please, please, don't close that door.

Set in our ways, we've had better days
I know things might not be the same
But I know that no matter how this all weighs
You and I can't stop this game.

I sit here and wonder
If you'll ever read this
Probably not, but that's just how you are.

Kiss me, kill me in the rain
Hug me, share with me your pain
I promise to love you for now and ever more
So please, please, don't close that door.

Kiss me, kill me in the rain
Hug me, share with me your pain
I promise to love you for now and ever more
So please, please, don't close that door...
