Your walls are up
Too cold to touch it
Your walls are up
Too high to climb

I know it's hard
But I can still hear it beating
So if you flash your heart
I won't mistreat it
I promise

Our love was lost
In the rubble are all the things
That you've, you've been dreaming of
Keep me in mind
When you are ready
I am here
To take you every time

_____

And I was searching for a mystery to hold onto
I had been sinking underneath the paper skies I drew
Oh, a rip, another tear, it all divides
And I am drowning, drowning in frustration

I'm out at sea and I cannot stop the tide...

_____

Let's try to cross paths...

_____

C'est si bon 
De partir n'importe où 
Bras dessus bras dessous 
En chantant des chansons 
C'est si bon 
De se dire des mots doux 
De petit rien du tout 
Mais qui en disent long

_____

Tell me that the chance I take won't blow up in my face...

Baby you got me don't worry your pretty little heart...

THIS SONG IS SO AWESOME.

_____

Never knew love like this
The wind, the moon, the earth, the sky
Sky so high
Never knew pain like this
Everything die, then die
Never knew love like this
The sun, the sea, you and I
Never knew pain, never knew shame
Now I know why

Hands down, my favorite song out of this mix:

This is how we multiply
Pity that it's not my wife
The friction and skin
The trembling sigh

This is how our bodies move
With everything that we could lose
Pushing us deeper still
The sheets and the sweat
The seed and the spill
The bitter pill yet undiscovered

[...]

Oh, my sweet rapture
I hear Jesus calling me home

Finally the chance to breathe
Reaching for the fallen sheets
Collapsing in a glowing heap
We've gone too far
We've done too much
We have to quit it
Just one more kiss
Just one more touch
Please ten more minutes...

_____

Live in the moment
Live in the now...

Beauty beauty
It's hard to get the things that you love

_____

When the moon carves a trail down the pine-bearded hills
And a ghost-wind hollers to the early morn
And the starlings return to the old sugar mill
Stealing their corn from the grower's field

Oh, I'll be no more

_____

And some Louis Armstrong while we mull all that over.
