I never said anything meaningful until I met you And then I found the words and feelings They washed my body like waves And we walked across the desert holding hands
I think I may have accidentally thought of you as a god And as I lost my faith We crawled into the valley of shadows Where the endless horizons scorches our perception
Your love and faith don't mean anything when the water runs dry But I have no conflict Except perhaps with myself And for lack of better words, or words at all
When the fire burns cold and suburban knowledge seems all I know Time just passes on But you and me don't love the same world And today's all we have, and it don't last forever
And as September's hidden eyes slowly go blind And the world looks more like desert With every word I hear you say In case I lose my faith in all, please know I loved you.
Very much inspired by (and to the tune of) Vampire Weekend's "Hannah Hunt"
