You bound strong sandals on my feet,
You gave me bread and wine,
And sent me under sun and stars,
For all the world was mine.

Oh, take the sandals off my feet,
You know not what you do;
For all my world is in your arms,
My sun and stars are you.

we left our conscience out the door
our clothes are scattered on the floor
you've got me kneeling [begging]
for mercy and more

i say your name over and over
over and over like a litany
how will we set our souls free
in this unholy matrimony

darling, you are my heaven
i will never leave you forsaken
your love is my kingdom
your wish is my command

darling, i'm yours
darling, you're free
you're free
you're free
you're free
do whatever you want to me
i'm yours
you're free

hug me so hard
that we share feelings
instead of warmth
kiss me so deep
that we share thoughts
instead of spit

it's not okay that i still think of you
every night before i go to bed
and every morning when i wake

in every first sip of coffee
and every last shot of whiskey
you're on my mind
and baby it hurts

everytime i see the night sky,
i ask myself if i still cross your mind
because baby, you still do
(every now and then)
and i am worried until when

in every page of a book i turn
i remind myself of the pain
of having you as a whole book
(present in every page, just like in every day)
while i was a mere chapter in yours

i remember you
with the air that hugs my body
with the heat from the sun that kisses my skin
with the sound of everyone's breathing
i can feel you

in a room full of people
i search for you
and when i can't see you,
i imagine you hiding on a post
(smiling)
just like how i saw you the first time

i still think of you
every now and then
and i just can't seem
to let you go

you are gravity
you always keep
my feet on the ground

you are gravity
in the same way
when you let me down

but you are water as well
you make me float
in the same way you can make me drown
//to J, i'm running out of ***** to give. make me not say goodbye

I'm losing my mind
In the same way I'm losing us.
I wanted to stay
But baby you broke my trust.

We became over-confident
That we will get through this together.
Honey give me a name of a couple
That proves the promise of forever.

But try as I might
I cannot forget,
And try as I might
I cannot love you less.
// i don't want to lose you, J. please do stay.

I wanted to take
My favorite parts of you
And press it on my favorite book
Just like I do with petals
From flowers that I like
But they ended up leaving dents into the book.
And I wondered why.
Because I picked my favorite parts,
Only then must I have realized,
That every part of you
Was my favorite.

*i pressed all of you into the book
but you were too good to be true
you ruined the book,
