Look in the mirror.
Look at that vacant stare.
Love everlasting.
Currently fasting.
Dream of salvation.
Killed by discretion.
Sing at the moon.
Sunrise too soon.
Swim in the starlight.
Holding you so tight.
Dream of a forest.
Dream you’re the tallest.

Hold me again, love.
Mountains loom high above.
Dance with me now.
Show me again how.
Sleep on the sofa.
Creeping closer.
Night-time desires.
Starting forest fires.
Cry for an hour.
Let it blow over.

Sing with your heart.
Sing us apart.
Hold your notes long.
At the end of the song.
Start it again.
Until the end.
Breathe into me.
Insecurities.
The sparkle shines.
In your precious eyes.

Come lay beside me.
I’ll sing your lullaby.
Hearts everlasting.
Fed up with fasting.
Stare at the stars.
Never too far.
Name one for you.
Call me a fool.
Say it together.
Say it forever.
