people. The song, 'Come Away with Me', is by Nora Jones. I don't own that
either.

Come Away with Me
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
::Come away with me in the night::
Why can't we just leave? Why can't we just let the other's handle it, haven't I saved the world enough? Haven't you saved the world enough? You're simply lying next to me, and this is more romantic then any sex we've ever had. It almost makes me laugh, but I don't want you to move, I don't want this moment to change.
::Come away with me And I will write you a song::
I'll write you a song; I'll sing you a ballad. Anything. I've finally found what I want: I want to be with you, I want to be like this, safe in your arms. Forever.
::Come away with me on a bus::
On a bus, on a plane, I'll even walk just as long as we're together.
::Come away where they can't tempt us With their lies::
Everyone told me you were evil, everyone told me I couldn't, shouldn't love you. And so I told myself I didn't love, lied to you and kept us apart.
::And I wanna walk with you On a cloudy day In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high So won't you try to come::
We never did anything normal couples do. No picnics, no movies. But then again, we're not normal, are we? Yet if I had told you I wanted to, we would have. If I had asked you to come, you would have. We could have left, turned our backs on all this and let someone else handle the world for a while.
::Come away with me and we'll kiss On a mountain top::
I love the way you kiss me. With those lips that can be so soft or bruising hard: I close my eyes and you're the only thing that matters.
::Come away with me And I'll never stop loving you::
You always loved me. I said I hated you, I was horrible to you, but you never stopped loving me. And truthfully, I always loved you, no matter what I told you, no matter what I told myself. I'll never stop loving you. I love you! Love you, love you, love you!
::And I wanna wake up with the rain Falling on a tin roof While I'm safe there in your arms::
So what if I can protect myself, so what if I can beat the crap out of almost anybody. That doesn't mean I don't want my knight in shinning armor to hold me, just like your holding me now, my hero, my champion.
::So all I ask is for you To come away with me in the night::
I could tell you all this, for once I could tell you how I feel. I could give you a speech, and while it wouldn't even compare to the words you gave me, it would be something. But I won't. I could ask you to come away with me, to leave. But I won't. I'll get up and I'll go try to save the world again.
I should wake you up, I should tell you I'm leaving. Not Sunnydale, but this room. Leaving you, again. I've left you more times than I can count. But who knows, maybe you can count that high.
I look back at you once more as I leave, dream once more about leaving. With you, we could go anywhere and I'd be happy.
But I haven't been truly happy for a while, can't help wondering if I'll ever be happy again.
::Come away with me::
If I save the world this time, if we're both alright in the end, then I'll tell you. I promise I'll tell you. I'll scream it for you, shout it for you, paint it on a banner and hang it across my door, so everyone can know that I love you. And then we can leave; we can go away forever, you can come away with me.
