lyrics

Still Can’t Write a Love Song

If you want a song

I’ll buy you one

From someone who knows how to

Write you the perfect verse

The strings don’t buzz

The meter sticks
You get your fix



Cause no, no song of mine
Will do or ever sound right
For i’m not in control
Of what I can’t define

And I feel like i don’t know what love is…

And I feel like i don’t know where love is…
Most of the time



But i guess i can give it a try…



Her grace lights the room enough to make it disappear.

Her eyes own me. Vulnerable and exposed I find myself trembling with her every move. And her voice… Well, i guess somebody had to teach the angels how to sing.
The gentlest touch triggers a surrender. If this is a war i’m no match for her vigor. For time did come and time may pass, but the immensity of her essence always resounds with an overwhelming echo:


It’s amazing how a whole world can fit inside a person…



She can fit two.
