It puts sugar to shame
But I'm still addicted all the same...
I laid my head against your skin and I listened to your heartbeat,
So I could try and time mine to yours.
I needed to be able to take it with me, to feel you anywhere...
The steadiness of it fills my chest,
The same way that holding your hand turns empty space into love.
The way that your eyes turn looks into light...and then into laughter.
A welcoming conduit to someplace else entirely and I am caught staring...
Smiling like a kid that just saw a unicorn kitty...
Awestruck that you were sitting there before me.
Me, having found all of my favourite things wrapped up in Oakley's and a Beaver Canoe.
And you, just eating your fries like it was no big deal.
I don't know what I find more surprising,
The softness of your mouth or the things that fall out of it.
But I'd stick around all day just to listen to what it might say.
Maybe if I wish hard enough it will meet mine halfway again.
You smell like the memories that I want to make. ... Over and over...
So here we are,
two souls crossing paths...they say timing is everything...
I think they're playing our song... Would you dance with me love?
If only for a moment...

"Wait a minute baby...
Stay with me awhile
Said you'd give me light
But you never told be about the fire
Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house
Call me home
And he was just like a great dark wing
Within the wings of a storm
I think I had met my match -- he was singing
And undoing the laces
Undoing the laces
Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house
Call me home
Hold on
The night is coming and the starling flew for days
I'd stay home at night all the time
I'd go anywhere, anywhere
Ask me and I'm there because I care
Sara, you're the poet in my heart
Never change, never stop
Stay with me awhile
Said you'd give me light
But you never told be about the fire
Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house
Call me home
And he was just like a great dark wing
Within the wings of a storm
I think I had met my match -- he was singing
And undoing the laces
Undoing the laces
Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house
Call me home
Hold on
The night is coming and the starling flew for days
I'd stay home at night all the time
I'd go anywhere, anywhere
Ask me and I'm there because I care
Sara, you're the poet in my heart
Never change, never stop
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter what for
When you build your house
I'll come by
Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house
Call me home
All I ever wanted
Was to know that you were dreaming
(There's a heartbeat
And it never really died)"
It doesn't matter what for
When you build your house
I'll come by
Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house
Call me home
All I ever wanted
Was to know that you were dreaming
(There's a heartbeat
And it never really died)"
