Lyrics [ ]
If I had no more time
No more than fourth dimension left to be here
Would you cherish what we had?
Was it everything that you lot were looking for?
If I couldn't feel your touch on
And no longer were you with me

To be everything that I'd be looking for
I don't wanna forget the present is a souvenir
And I don't wanna take for granted the fourth dimension you lot may have here with me
'Cause Lord but knows another day is not really guaranteed
So every time you concur me
Hold me like this is the final time
Every time you buss me
Kiss me like you'll never meet me again
Every fourth dimension you touch me
