I could stare at you for an infinity Wasting away into you and me Like the Mirror of Erised Or the words that she said As she tried to capture a refrain Is life more than the pain That seems to cascade a waterfall And I let go of it all Only to be brought back around Do you hear the ocean in the sound Of a breeze through the air I kiss you like you aren’t there But somehow I still feel your stare A presence, you being there In moments gone and yet to come Suspended between the old and young And forests grow up from the earth Like people do from the hurt The waves and waves and waves of dirt Capsizing what was once my worth But you see in pages more than I The winds of what it is to die Blowing like for evermore And I still see you there, mo stór Effervescent on the hill Then tiptoeing with some skill On the tightrope of us I gave my heart, you gave your trust And somehow it beats from far away You run and I stay To be always on a hike Like features in the world alike Always aware of what we are You be the sun for I am a star
It’s killing me but I’m not scared of death
If you’re wondering why I haven’t done anything yet
As you dare me to move from across the room
With your eyes fixed in a stare of impending doom
And I plead with you for rationality
Can’t you understand reality
And it feels like we are playing with spikes
Stick them into each other with all our might
And double or nothing all our pain
Cause we can’t get over what made it rain
She’s a star shining in your atmosphere
And I guess I really have nothing to fear
Cause that kind of love is never going to drop
You’ve sown a good harvest, now you reap the crop
But I guess sometimes in my wishful thinking
I wish it was my boat that you were sinking
As we wade out into the oceans deep
But you made a promise that you’re gonna keep
Once, long ago, to a heart that was true
What I want to say is I admire you
Wonderment is the surprise
To be the deep inside your eyes
To be the bend at the edge of the river
To be the strength of a light giver
And somehow I just cannot escape
Superman with his red cape
As he goes flying into town
I listen for the empty sound
Of birds in trees at the end of days
I love you in so many ways
And it all comes to a close in the eclipse
You are the one I don’t have to miss
