Alaska

And if you aren't home when I get back

And there's no more paintings in the living room

Just plain white walls and the echo of you

And I'll sit on the floor and take it in

And I'll freak out like you've never seen

When I find the note that you left for me

And that feels like Alaska

Sitting on my chest, freezing me to the bone

Making me afraid to ever be alone

But I know I'm allowed to

Want what I want and say what I mean

But you might not want it, you might not want me

I could lose you

I could lose you

I could lose you, I could, I could, I could, I could

I remember the first time I took a shower in your house

We were only friends then

I was nervous to be naked with you

Somewhere on the other side of the door

And my heart leapt with every creak of the floor

And I wondered if you wanted more

And wrapped in a towel, I stood in your room

As you gave me a sweater to change into

And that feels like Alaska

Sitting on my chest, freezing me right through

Making me want to cling to you, but

I could lose you

I could lose you

I could lose you, I could, I could, I could, I could

I could lose you

I could lose you

I could lose you, I could, I could, I could, I could

Like crashing a car

Like falling asleep

And waking up

To the house burning

So when I come home

I'll kiss your cheek

'Cause I know, I know I could lose

'Cause I know, I know I could lose you
