we were distant
but our hearts quickened the same
blood pumped
sweat ran
in my mind
I breathed your breath
Heart
My dashboard lit up
My dashboard lit up
like a Christmas tree roadside
when my mechanic arrived.
Lay your head
Lay your head on my chest and
listen
A second and a half is a long time between
beats
So many thoughts fly by before the
reassurance
But I am here
and will be here
counting out slow
eternity
with you
I cannot fill my heart with words
I cannot fill my heart with words
but still I try
my heart is breaking
my heart is breaking
I hold your hand
Birds weigh less
Birds weigh less than air
and force themselves to ground.
A fluttering shake of wings
takes them to the skies again
a cloud a cataract a single point.
I feel my heart follow
soaring through the blueness
I feel my heart follow the birds.
Supine in fresh fields
supine in fresh fields
hearts beating hummingbird fast
soft stone-flavoured rain
There was haar
there was haar in my heart
then from a newly cloudless sky
the sun shone strong again
New word: thundersnow
new word: thundersnow
what on earth can that be like?
my heart in your hands
You play with my heart
You play with my heart like a second-hand toy
You know it’s been in the dirt and scuffed skinless
With a flick of your fingers the heartache begins
You wear my love at your throat like a necklace
CHORUS
ANOTHER VERSE
CHORUS
ANOTHER VERSE
CHORUS
CHORUS TO FADE
