It’s Alright
It can feel like there’s more than enough
I think of it all the time, I’m lost in your touch
But I can’t let it go yet, do I need to choose?
And I can’t let you know yet, that there’s nothing to lose
It’s alright that we don’t know
Can’t you see that’s the way it goes
I can’t explain it, but I know that it’s mine
And I can trust it, this folding of time
But all of the way back, I’m moving too fast
And what if I claim it, when I hold it at last
It’s alright that we don’t know,
Can’t you see that’s the way it goes
And it’s alright, it’ll be easier now
Can’t you see we could never know how

Begin Again
What are you trying to say about your heart of mine?
And what are you trying to find without a muted light?
I came to realize I’m not too much for anything, and we are not alone in love, so how do we begin?
If you don’t mind...
I can’t imagine the ways I might rewrite your face
Delicacy in your name, I wait awake to lie
If you don’t mind...
Love, if you don’t mind if you fall into the space without.
Love if you don’t mind into safe design
Love if you don’t mind...

Those We Love
Soon enough, clear like the light at my back
It’s what you give, it flows through my bones, it’s alive
And when it stops, in softness let’s all fall apart.
And I know you’re one, but I’ll leave it in spite of it all
And I might believe in the ways that we are all
alike, instead of pretending it’s some great divide only you can see
I’m like you, in spite of my wish to be free
In solitude, I’m craving the way that you see me
And I might believe in the ways that we are all
alike, instead of pretending it’s some great divide only you can see

Wild Night
One day we’ll find we’re not right, we’re not wrong, we’re just fine
And it’s already late but we’re tired and can’t quite close our eyes
And you’re right it’s been a wild night,
As we strode deeper determined to save what we could
I can’t believe how tender we all are inside
At night I can hear the pulsing and the swell of your breath
And you’re right it’s been a wild night,
As we strode deeper determined to save what we could
Speaking of loneliness, can’t you see it’s all in your head,
And this feeling of being is more than we could ever ask
And you’re right it’s been a wild night,
As we strode deeper determined to save what we could
And you’re right it’s been a wild night,
But morning will come and it’s bright, we’re alive, we’re undone

Closer
What’s left when we’re alone?
I’m still taking it in
Let it move and you’ll see, the way it comes back around
And it might be that I need you closer.
Show me what you need
And I can tell you I need you closer
Could it be we’re the same?
I’ll fall into you now, and I can never get enough
I won’t stop till you know, just how clear you are to me
Do you know how I feel?
I’ll keep falling in love, it’s more like it should be
But it’s not a question of love, anymore than it ever was
And it might be that I need you closer.
Show me what you need
And I can tell you I need you closer
Could it be we’re the same?
I’ll fall into you now, and I can never get enough
I won’t stop till you know, just how clear you are to me
Do you know how I feel?

Move
I might tell you something more,
And I might show you what it’s for
But I’m not beholden to this place anymore
And I’m not beholden to this love anymore
I want to see the ways
that you’re holding on to what I said
But I’m not ready to give it to you,
and I’m not ready, but I’ll be there soon
I can see the way you move
I can feel the way you move
I’ll find the softness in the dark,
and you’ll find you’re perfect as you are
But it’s not mine to hold, it’s mine to love
And it’s not mine to hold, but it’s mine to start
I can see the way you move,
I can feel the way you move
I can see how good it feels
And I could never choose the way you move

Better
How could I say I know for sure?
That keeps us awake and wanting more?
Can you see it now? That all I ever learned I learned from love
And you’ll show me how to find the ways to kiss the ground
And what if it’s a mess? And love is only for the rest?
But what if it’s not, and so much better than you thought?
Maybe it’s not mine to say to you,
but you’re the only one who can say what’s true
Night will come again, and in the morning you’ll be surprised
By how much light gets in, and you can see what’s yours and what’s mine
And what if it’s a mess? And love is only for the rest?
But what if it’s not, and so much better than you thought
