Familiar
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Can you walk on the water if I, you and I?
Because your blood’s running cold outside the familiar true to life
Can you walk on the water if I, you and I?
Or keep your eyes on the road and live in the familiar without you and I
It glows with gates of gold to true life
For our love is a ghost that the others can’t see
It’s a danger
Every shade of us you fade down to keep
them in the dark on who we are
(Oh what you do to me)
This love is gonna be the death of me
It’s a danger
Cause our love is a ghost that the others can’t see
We took a walk to the summit at night, you and I
To burn a hole in the old grip of the familiar true to life
And the dark was opening wide, do or die
Under a mask of vermillion ruling eyes
And our love is a ghost that the others can’t see
It’s a danger
Every shade of us you fade down to keep
them in the dark on who we are
(Oh what you do to me)
Gonna be the death of me
It’s a danger
Cause our love is a ghost that the others can’t see
