I know I’m still inside you
You can never move on to another life
I don’t have to do anything about it
Once upon a time
Once upon your heart
Always on your mind

I don’t have to remind you
But I will
I’m still here

It’s as if I went to war
Was branded as a mad man
One who would do anything to survive
Even give you up to another man

And now I’m back
I just want you to know
It’s your choice
But I’m back
I’m back

But I’m not like black smoke in the sky
Choking you and the air you breathe
The wind has changed direction
That’s all

I know I’m still inside you
I made you smile again
You forgot everything except what we have
You know it
I know it
Nothing that happens matters
Except our kindness towards one another
And animals
While we’re together
While they are with us

And then you can go back to your life
But make love to me first
That’s what we love
I know you do
I know I do
That’s all we need
Then I will be inside of you again

Like I was during the war
