Spirit

Before I knew you My life was so cold. Before you proved me, My life was no more. And after you saw me I thought God fooled me. Put you here just for me. Could fly away, but you told me You'd love and care for my love My love and care for you April sun come Beat down our passions On the top of a mountain Where the old stones stand And man, how time passes Like a second line band And I hardly even knew What I'd do for you. Belief in a world Where you always lose: I lost that And I found that Your trusting instincts To trust in blessings My depressing thinking Don't backtrack our kinship. So I lost all that Found my trust in people Found hope though it's feeble Made me feel like I'm your equal No need for pedestals When everyone a regal Illegal how my heart pounds for you Make it legal the way my mind smiles for you All the while, your trials Of your burnt out styles Are what made you walk the miles. Forget your past now Your last day's passed Regret how fast sounds New sights have passed by Try to grasp at the time And forget to grow past What brought you down last. What brought you down last? You were my medicine And I, my own testament The strength of my spirit You can hear it In the voices it echoes In the choices you merit. Before I knew you My life was so cold. Before you proved me, My life was no more. And after you saw me I thought God fooled me. Put you here just for me. Could fly away, but you told me You'd love and care for my love My love and care for you November moon Too soon to prove tru When your lips pressed blessed Against your autumn dress. We were just two phantoms Singing out our anthems Counting down the days We got left in this place. Please save us. Please say forever Wherever life takes us It's better than to suffer Stagnation playing safer. Caught up in a storm Fall up somewhere warm Before we get stuck Pluck up our good luck Kick up out the muck Fuck the doubt we struck up. Remain stay drifting, Drift apart try remaining Hope the best in this rapture Recall the best we captured Feel the chapter closing in On itself like a picture Of our future Too sure That the times we're living now Are times we'll leave tomorrow. And all we got's all we know. Too close to fall slow Like blossoms never touching Only dancing Like we're searching Take the steps to find religion In my god and my decisions You were my addiction You gave me definition And I, my own ambition Gave in to superstition The will of my spirit You can hear it In the music it chases In life, the way you live it. Before I knew you My life was so cold. Before you proved me, My life was no more. And after you saw me I thought God fooled me. Put you here just for me. Could fly away, but you told me You'd love and care for my love My love and care for you
