|
Skies went dark, got hard to see my body all stretched out. |
|
Territory to touch and make a path to lead you down. |
|
If I could hold the wildest winds from blasting through my house, |
|
Then I could shine a beacon whether floats, fine, yes, or drowns. |
|
But there was no heat, it all had been extinguished, |
|
Snuffed right out. |
|
That was not the way |
|
I meant to disappoint the crowd. |
|
If you want my center, please don't slice so much around. |
|
And if you won't be having me, watch the sorrow shake my mouth. |
|
And you don't want to hurt me, |
|
But you don't want to need me, |
|
So how can you receive me? |
|
Take a seat, don't grieving be, let's settle this all out, |
|
Then one by one |
|
I'll take these from the caverns of my mouth. |
|
The teeth who mash and teeth who make my tender muscles shout |
|
A last goodbye to lose what once |
|
I'd never known without. |
|
And in my mind, the river runs a straight line through the town, |
|
Never bending, only sending stuff from north to south. |
|
Under bridges, fishes wear the currents like a gown. |
|
And I will swallow crookedness, not let it drag me down. |
|
Afraid that if |
|
I cut you loose, |
|
You'd never again want me to |
|
Embrace you in your solitude. |
|
Now in our eyes, we both still find the perfect place to rest. |
|
We'll unfold wings and fly a while, before the next caress. |
|
The atmosphere will hold us dear and teach us how it's best |
|
To both feel free and satisfied, our two souls will be blessed. |
|
Before my eyes, the fireflies they make the night sky low. |
|
Captured by the sounds of all the horns that the frogs blow. |
|
Through tears so thick, like glue they drip and build a castle slow. |
|
I can see you saved for me the sweetness that still glows. |
|
And though you're still my |
|
Hercules,Neptune's the one who's taken me. |
|
Come on, lay that strength upon my sea. |
|
Steady the string and snap it down the dust gets in my face. |
|
A borderline to not cross, mind our manners, keep in place. |
|
Still, I recall you once extended me with handsome haste, |
|
A rope to climb, to call all mine, to ascend you with grace. |
|
Now we will burn the fog away, our hearts are like the sun. |
|
We moved it now, that's a way down and though the change was rough, |
|
We'll find our lives are kinder without complications of |
|
The fear in me that had taken seed and crowded out the love. |
|
I want you and |
|
I let you go |
|
Though we can still walk on the same road. |
|
If we don't try it, we'll never know. |
