Lucky Us

I’m not trying to pull any strings

No angle here, no trap to spring

No hidden card, no silver tongue

No game to play, no race to run

My head is empty, my hands are too

Still I melt when you enter the room

My stomach drops, my chest goes tight

When does this fade? Guess it’s not tonight

Some days all I’ve got is a little rhyme

I hope you don’t think me unkind

It’s in your easy smile

The way you hold your hands just makes me

float for miles

The velvet of your voice, well it just

drives me wild

Falling so hard, can’t we find a way to

stay a while

I can look, but I cannot touch

I feel it all, maybe a bit too much

Every second in your gravity

Makes a lovely wreck of me

Ration, make this last the week

Distractions, duties, small mercies

My foolish heart can’t bear the hours

The already, not yet, and sparkling towers

I still can’t believe I get to feel like this

So lucky to share these moments of bliss

It’s in your easy smile

the way you hold your hands just makes me

float for miles

The velvet of your voice, well it just

drives me wild

Falling so hard, can’t we find a way to

stay a while
