Close your eyes and hold my hand
That is all my heart demands
Just a touch of who you are
Lonely in a sea of stars
Feel like feelings know me well
With you I can never tell
I can sense you in the grain of
Every syllable I say
Meet me in Kentucky field
Stitch me in show me what's real
Feel your fingers trace my hand
Your touch is safe a place to land
Dress me in your gaze tonight
Colorfully black and white
This is who I am, and who I am is right
I can't dream like this forever
When we fail to feel what is never spoken
From my lungs escape the whitest of smoke
Because I've finally found the one.
You be the ruse and I'll be the caper
You pirouette and I'll never let you stop
Roots above the trees
My mind is a sea of leaves
The yellow vein inside the frame of my beliefs
Your air, the air that I breathe
The angel dust in the breeze
You're everything I need
The only thing I see
You are an item, the fire in the brush
You give me chills whenever we touch
I am the hunger of age, a page
Aching to be a chapter
If you're a soul I'm your mate
If you're the past I am fate
If you've got time I could stay
If you're alive I will wait
Brisk pace, brisk pace
I ache to feel an ache
The sentry by the padded cell inside my soul is slain
Free to act according to the nature in his name
The warrior that rests within begins to breathe again
Meet me in a raindrop, falling on a rooftop
Dance with me until we find the words that we should act on
