As Long As We're Here Lyrics - On My Way 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
