lyrics

from the moment that we met i coulda swore to god
i heard the son of aphrodite licked a warning shot
it struck my heart i fell in love on the spot
since then been walking on clouds
tryna calm down
nah, i’m not doubting the providence
i just wanna stay grounded with common sense
cause only god knows what it’s got planned for us
so we could stay strong even when we stand alone
but i guess i got caught in the undertoe
knocked me off my feet
like i was struck with a thunderbolt
your eyes shine like a light when i'm lost in fog
so now yours is the courtyard that i’m running toward
ask would you give me shelter from the storm?
i’d build a boat for you we should set a course
i’d make a home for you and i hope you’d let me share it with ya
last night had you in my thoughts

the night moves like a typhoon
i can’t sleep
so i rise like a tide pool
the bright light from moonshine at high noon
illuminates the room
even though i got the blinds pulled
i write a poem for a friend of mine
when at best we’re pressed for time
and the pressure is too high
and at worst my words hurt like a knife wound
then i’d feel quite stupid
man it’s funny how despite contrary proof
we stay cautious even when we spy truth
we’re standoffish
wonder what could i do?
in the face of such awesome odds we often feel small but
if you could lead a horse to water
opportunity like a ripe fruit you can’t drop it
cause it ain’t every other day that it’s gonna come knocking
it can only show you the door
you gon have to walk through it

i woke from another odd dream again
to this old bob seger song on the speaker set
as rain poured from the thunderstorm
i sat counting seconds
wondered how far off it is
i started talking to the walls again
man it’s funny how the night moves
i wanna properly apologize for
speaking from the bottom of my heart instead
of following my head
when i give advice and do the opposite
