about

To love is to let go.

lyrics

Life is just a breath, so breathe deep.
And dreams are the only things that separate death from sleep,
and you know ours don’t come cheap.
You can’t hold mine, and you can’t find yours inside of me,
so go on and leave.
I’ll go on and grieve, and we’ll both go on,
we will both go on what we believe.

I’ll wait here like a Pharaoh entombed,
like a sparrow for June,
like a winter rose for bloom.
And if I could be a stage to stand on,
to deliver all your passion,
or a canvas for your colors all to land on,
if I could paint your eyes with music
and your lips with poetry,
then you’d be all that I need.
I wouldn’t have to go;
you wouldn’t need to leave.

Lover, leave, leave me like a fever now.
Come on, Eve, Adam’s just a teaser
when the world’s right there.
I know it don’t seem fair,
but there’s more to life than love,
so, lover, leave me here.
The fruit is sweet; it’s forbidden as it needs to be.
The sin is me, so take a bite before we sleep,
and on the morn, you can take my horns,
but leave your thorn in my side for safe keep.

I lost my heart sometime last week,
but then I saw you had it like a jawbreaker in your cheek.
Heartbreaker, you look sweet with tears in your eyes.
The pain keeps us young.
We’re most alive right before we die.
Young lady, take me to and through crazy.
It’s your art that amazes me.
Your freedom praises me,
so go be the best at livin’ life that you can.
I’ll be the best I can be at bein’ your man.
