Into you

Just wanted you to call me mine

It's not a crime

I know

That you're not far

But when the light

Gets so low

I can't find you

I don't know who I am

So you shouldn't grab my hand

Got to September

Saved my life

It got colder

It seems our souls are intertwined

I can't tell what's yours or mine

I'll be fine

When I'm lost

I know
