when i thought you had left me i feared the worst
but that wasn't the thing that hit me first
it wasn't the distance we so far had travelled
or the damage that i knew that we'd somehow unravelled
it wasn't the promises we said that we'd made
or the ring on my finger that i proudly displayed
it wasn't the trust that we'd found in each other
or the comfort i thought that you'd found in another
it wasn't the me, or the why, or the now
or the reason that why seems to matter somehow
it wasn't the space in between, now it seems
there was something stitched closely to the edge of the seams
but now you are here
and i am the now
and that is back there
and this is how
we start from the beginning, get back to the winning
take care of the issues that keeps us fulfilling
each other
with the love that we found
so true and profound
and will keep us together
forever
you know this to be true, because
the only one who knows this is you

and here, between the complicated mess of my existence
and the space between our faces that has measured some resistance
i find myself compassionate, like that, within a instance
i'm drawn to her precisely because of her insistence
love is not a thing that makes us worry about the past
it shouldn't be as hurried as though it wouldn't be as fast
but somewhere in there, something comes alive, and then at last
i fell in love her so brilliantly, like the click behind the blast
of opportunity, you see
it means the same to me
it's not what we've reflected
but the fact that we're connected
the you and me, the need
to feel the same way that i do
through the reason that we bleed
to the consequence it leads to
and so...
there's nothing that i'd rather do than spend another day with her
and nothing that i want to do than create another metaphor
and all i want to manifest is nothing but the best for her
and make everything better
for you, and me
and all it's meant to be
for now
forever
for us

that twinkle in your eye
that you wanted me to see
is the only reason why
it gets reflected back at me
another set of circumstances
might have changed the dice
and used up all my second chances
couldn't count the price
not believing what i have
is not what it's about
it's not concealing safety as
the dirt beneath the grout
but who you are and what you do
means everything to me
and i hope that what i mean to you
everyone can see
a zephyr of desire
a truth that's meant to be
the warmth within the fire
the waves within the sea
i know we'll find a way
then we'll show them how it's done
and that's all i want to say
i think that you're the one

whichever way you play it
if you don't want to say it
i won't say it either
whichever way you want it
however we confront it
i totally believe her
you might think it's madness
it doesn't really matter though
my measure of her kiffness
i'm pretty sure by now you know
has cured of me of my blindness
her eyes already said so
we're on the same page
i know, she knows
and it shows

i'm just going to say it
exactly like it is:
i think
i've fallen
for you.

for years and years i've tried to keep my head above the water
the line between the darkness and the sunshine that defines it
for years i've wondered what it is i'd ever get to tell her
if the line between those metaphors was ever that complicit
for years and years and years that opportunity got shorter
the lines between the lines that never fit
i'm still alive - i'm forty-five - that doesn't really matter
the years that happened in between don't really seem to mind it
feels like every time i try to stick my head out of the gutter
the lines that keep connecting us are ever more explicit
and every time my fishing line retracts a little shorter
my heart, my soul is telling me to let it
that lonely deck of cards that's being led towards the slaughter
that slow persistent hopefulness that wants to take me with it
with every waking moment i can't wait to get to know her
and shower it with words so even i could never miss it
the distance to that end looks like it's finally getting shorter
and something in me tells me not to quit
they say fortune favours the brave
but right now it favours the dave

you know what
it's unbelievably incredible to me
whenever life seems too good to be true
everybody says:
'if you're ever in town, anytime, call me up'
but when you do call
there's nobody there
it's utterly remarkable to me
whenever life gets a little bit too dark
everybody says:
'if you need any help, anything at all, just ask'
but when you do ask
there's nobody there
there's just nobody there at all
wasn't loud enough, was i
lather, rinse, repeat

beautiful things
come at just the right time
the universe sings
so sweet and sublime
the wood for the trees
the sea for the sand
the wind for the breeze
the hurt for the hand...
honesty teaches you reverence
solitude teaches you severance
reality teaches you consequence
the effect this has had on my confidence
beautiful things
come at just the right time
and it's time

that tiny little crack in time
that you think you've been searching for
has already been
or is waiting to happen
or...
you could take the now
that you already have
and bash it as hard as you possibly can
until it cracks

don't mistake my kindness for weakness
and please don't take me for granted
you'll know the difference
accept nothing less than what you see
you see
because
we all have a burden
and sometimes we could all do with a br ea..k ..
someone to talk to
someone who'll listen
it makes all the difference
between being taken for granted
and being that kind of weak
you're never alone
but you don't always know it
i know how you feel
but you don't always show it
