on the loneliest of nights
the cicadas filled the silence

and when they go away
the thought of you sinks back in

love is clumsy
love is loud

and if this isn’t love
why can’t i hear anything else other than you

I hold your hand and I feel safe.

I kiss your lips and I close my eyes.

I see your smile and my heart calms.

I look into your eyes and my worries fade.

I listen to your voices and it's music in my ears.

I love you and I know you feel the same.

And if you just hurt me this could be easy
But you've been nothing but true
Your truth is just that you don't love me
Nearly as much as I've loved you

And so I have to go.

You'll do anything for my love

Except love me...

Our hearts fall apart
And we fumble with our lives
But fret not weary soldier
It be like that sometimes

Your breathlessness was the wind beneath my sails that helped me coast these waters

But the tide is high

You've caught your breath

And it threatens to take me under

If I let you hold me close

You might feel where I've fallen apart

Those seams that seem invisible

The weakest of my spots
