The day the earth shook
It moved with the breath I took
Drew the air into my lungs
And it’s as though my body weighs a thousand tonnes
Coz I can’t see the ocean, I can only be it
And I love you though I don’t know if you see it
And I stand back so that you know
I’m really there and so
I mean it when I say I won’t forget
Though you haven’t shown me yet
The secrets you hold in a memory garden
And I got lost on the scene but it was all jargon
I made my way through the tide
Only to double back and hide
But I spilt the beans in messenger
Set myself up as an enemy to her
And I would never want to inspire
The kind of hate that would set the world on fire
I just wanna be a presence kind
Though it’s a weight on your mind
As I entice you like a scent
And I dunno where the kindness went
As I proclaim my innocence
But I can’t keep my grimacing
Away from watching eyes
And you are all cries
Of danger on the front
And you are a bit blunt
When I threaten your position
I’ve got it laid out like Early Edition
And I can’t keep the news from the front page
The drama of the man I save 
From death’s door
And I couldn’t have loved you more
Than to give my life for a friend
I just pray this isn’t the end
That there’s a twist in the plot
And I don’t have to act like someone I’m not
Just to garner a little light
I bet on you knowing the fight
I got through to be right here
On your doorstep or sorta near
Near enough to say
I love you, is that okay
And I tremble a little at the truth
But I’m almost through with youth
And I can’t let this get away
C’mon, babe, what do you say
And your hair falls in your eyes
But it is a mute disguise
As you let the storm just cease
Bless me with blessed release
Enough to know and let you go
I lost the fog in the snow
