my love for you is something
visceral, innate;
instinct, like the repertoire of birdsong
playing from our record so late
the first time you heard me sing
you said I had perfect tune
and like the harmonies in music, when I saw you
I somehow always knew
why does it feel like I've known you my whole life?
why is it still so hard to say goodnight?
sometimes I feel I'm just biding my time
until forever with you
the way you look at me, I hear your reflection
like raindrops in a jar
and the phosphorescent skin above your eyelids
is glowing blue like stars
I've spent my whole life trying to hide
with you I'm not scared to face what's inside
I was too busy wasting my time
until forever with you
Carolina in my mind
to keep us apart
I'll still be singing songs for you
no matter how far
I like the way you smile
when I press you to my lips
I can't seem to name this feeling
back home, they call it bliss
I don't know enough words to tell you
exactly how I feel;
I just hope the words unspoken
show my love is real
please hurry home to me after you're gone
and we'll be together, singing our songs
home is the place where I'm wrapped in your arms
until forever with you
