Emotions can't escape
The force of your embrace
When love cuts space and time
You find me
You reach our tribe and hide
Faced with my demise
The universe conspires
To show me (show me, show me, show me)
Show me
You're always ready for the chase
Never giving up on me, hey
Even when I run away
You're the one I can't escape
You are the only one, you're the only one
To fight for my heart
The light to my dark
You're my liberation
Falling in despair
Will you meet me there?
I'm hanging off the edge
Catch me
In places unexplored
I feel it even more
The intimate inside
Knows me
You're always ready for the chase
Never giving up on me, hey
Even when I run away
You're the one I can't escape
You are the only one, you're the only one
To fight for my heart
The light to my dark
You're my liberation
Yeah
I'll fight for you, fight for you (yeah)
Will seek my own demise for you
It's all on sight for you
Will shoot these five kites for you
Will lay down lust and life for you
Will light up in all dark spaces with divine light for you
This life is for you, this mic is for you
Anyone can see these two hands
Preferably, preverbably, but don't push me, man
I'm just a man
I defend my own keep sakes
Please don't think it's laughable
'Cause all of this stuff is flammable
I promise all my interstellar [?]
And I'll come find you and add this to your spaceship's playlist for reminder (I will)
I'm a eagle scout of doubting hearts, yeah
I'm a bounty hunter for the young at heart, yeah
I'm a one hundred, keeper from the start, yeah
I'm a son of a gun with a gun for a heart, yeah
And I wrote for you, I wrote this note for you
[?] In hopes that it get into your bones
Memorable [?] know you know
So you know you know, I ain't going nowhere
You're always ready for the chase
Never giving up on me, hey (never giving up)
Even when I run away
You're the one I can't escape
You are the only one, you're the only one
To fight for my heart
You are the only one, you're the only one
To fight for my heart
You are the only one, you're the only one
To fight for my heart
The light to my dark
You're my liberation
