Lyrics As Long As We're Here - Clay Aiken

Why do we have to fight?
Why can't we spend our time
Trying?
I wanna be close to you
Keep love from slipping through
My hands
Words said in anger, aimed at someone
Are hard to take back once the damage is done, Let's stop now

As long as we're here alive on this earth
I'm gonna love you for all that it's worth
And one of these days we're gonna understand why
Let's make the most of our time as long as we're here

Some people live their lives holding their fears inside them
Afraid to build windows to let the light of the world in
They hide in the darkness of self-imposed walls
If they could just tear them down they'd have it all

As long as we're here alive on this earth
I'm gonna love you for all that it's worth
And one of these days we're gonna understand why
Let's make the most of our time as long as we're here

When you're with me I breathe easy
You are my need, right now love me
As long as we're, as long as we're here I'm gonna love you
And one of these days we're gonna understand why

As long as we're here alive on this earth
I'm gonna love you for all that it's worth
And one of these days we're gonna understand why
Let's make the most of our time
Oh, I'll make the most of our time as long as we're here
As long as we're here
