I fought away the hands of time
as it wreaked havoc on our faces
and prayed I’d keep death at bay
while she counted us down to our graces

Thought I had tied our souls together
but nobody taught me how to tie my laces
I don't even think a double knot
could have kept us in our places

His eyes could light the room
before I even touched a curtain
He has beauty I do not
And of that I am certain.
