What if my soul can only speak
Through my eyes when I fall in love with you,
What if I only fall when you're pushing,
Why do my lips not pronounce my heart as well as they kiss;
If only it was enough to suffice

I know in time I will learn to let my black birds fly,
In time I will let your waters take me,
But I will not drown.

I breathe you out, take in another view
I think about new places with you
I might have called,
I might have lied with all my criticisms

I know it seems
Like I'm clipping your wings
But we're in separate nests
And I cannot rest
Without you
