Ugly Love - John Floreani

Lay with me and count the stars

Let’s guess how far away they are

There’s no wrong or right about them

They’re just smiling back at us

No motive and no intention

They never wanted anything from us

They don’t want anything

The tighter you hold it, the further it slips away

You know I want it, want it to stay

The tighter you hold it, the further it slips away

You know I want it, want it to stay

We don’t take many photographs

So I wrote this song to make the moment last

I can feel you in my bones

I have warm bones and yours are cold

I drew a heart on the window of your car

J. and B. forever and ever

You turn your light on the car in front of us

Light us up so I can see how scared you are

I’ll be home before you know it

But I still can’t promise you anything

Please just wait for me

I’ll give you everything

The tighter you hold it, the further it slips away

You know I want it, want it to stay

The tighter you hold it, the further it slips away

You know I want it, want it to stay

The tighter you hold it, the further it slips away

You know I want it, want it to stay

The tighter you hold it, the further it slips away

You know I want it, want it to stay

I can see the city from my window seat

I watch my life go on without me, without me

My love’s an ugly love but it’s real

And it lasts a long, long time

I’ve got nothing left inside but I can still make you smile

The tighter you hold it, the further it slips away

You know I want it, want it to stay

The tighter you hold it, the further it slips away

You know I want it, want it to stay

The tighter you hold it, the further it slips away

You know I want it, want it to stay

The tighter you hold it, the further it slips away

You know I want it, want it to stay
