Labour Of Love

We are love
We are pushed and shoved by the butterflies
Give me your widest eyes
My mutiny
Say something stupid in my ear
Everyone can hear
We're not impressed with the formulas
We're gods with guns and guitars
Hugging the hummingbirds and the jaguars

Hello my friend
It's morning, time to wake now
In body, in mind
Entwined will have to break now
But i need your flesh
Your warmth to stay beside me
Oh how i wish
You could be deep inside me
Show me your eyes
Your low most tender feeling
And i'll give you mine
Be truthful and revealing

And it's you that i love
And it's true that i love
And it's love not given lightly
But i knew that it's love
And it's you that i love
And it's more than what it might be

When we're alone
I cannot always face you
Maybe my mood
Won't let these arms embrace you
But that doesn't mean
My love's somehow diminished
Give me the time
To show our love's unfinished

And it's you that i love
And it's true that i love
And it's love not given lightly
But i know that it's love
And it's you that i love
And it's more than what it might be

And every word i say is true

What can i say?
The words destroy all meaning
There's only cliches
To get across this feeling

This is a love song
For john and Finch's mother
This isn't easy
I might not write another

And it's you that i love
And it's true that i love
And it's love not given lightly
But i knew that it's love
And it's you that i love
And it's more than what it might be

Hesitation's dangerous
You move or you taste the dust
Life is coming for us
And it laughs at persistance
Flawless you are
In the distance
Oh brilliance shall we dance?
You love like you're under cameras
Photography will damn us
I think that you think that you're famous
If you're alive you just have to be fearless
Light me some serious steps
To burn in this meaninglessness
We twist, trip, turn
But our lives just repeat us
Is it all we can be just to be us?
And no one uncovers any
Original sincerity
We just dance with our history
Our could, would, should be
Here comes the silence to kill me
Yesterday i noticed i love you
I'm holding my life like a weapon above you
I have no more words
I've spent them
If we want to dance we will have to invent them
Always stepping the nothinglessness
Sometimes i dream we're imagining it
All that is real is the spin and the swing of steel

Every time i think of you
I get a shot right through into a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine but it's a problem i find
Living a life that i can't leave behind
There's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of a fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
And every day my confusion grows
Every time i see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You'll say the words that i can't say

I feel fine and i feel good
I feel like i never should
Whenever i get this way, i just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if i hurt someone else
Then we'd never see just what we're meant to be
Every time i see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You'll say the words that i can't say
