code for living

1,000 Oceans (Tori Amos cover)

I give a damn
and I know You do too
I can hear it in the strain of Your voice
I listen close to the echoes of a growing radiant choice
to let go 
to give in 
to move with colors 
and not the lines We drew in 

oh as it settles in
oh it rattles My skin
oh as I settle down
I catch My breath
to feel Your love lift Me off the ground

Your heart of stone
that I carry along
with Me on this road every day 
it takes Me back to the moment We met
when the light held open Your gaze
to My eyes and the world behind
to all the colors that blended Our lives

here We are 
and have always been
here forever
the first time again
here We are
burning light years apart
here forever
as a double star

I give a damn
and I know You do too
I see it in the way that You move
slower than We did before
when We could walk from here
to the Moon
