lyrics

Love is not
what we thought
before we fell this far
We were both
too young to see
if love would trap or set us free

So please don't make me wait too long
because without you I'm not that strong
and please don't make me believe
that love has passed us on
oh touch the flame to my lips babe
before the fire's gone
before the fire's gone

The stillness in
the air we breath
solidifies, won't let us leave
And the silence that
we've learned to need
keeps us here, won't set us free

So please don't make me wait too long
because without you I'm not that strong
and please don't make me believe
that love has passed us on
oh touch the flame to my lips babe
before the fire's gone
before the fire's gone

And I love how your words taste sweet
as you whisper them into my mouth
and write a book where our sheets
form the pages of our love
I love how we fall asleep
kept warm in each other's arms
and I read your words in my dreams
until we have to face the break of dawn

So please don't make me wait too long
because without you I'm not that strong
and please don't make me believe
that love has passed us on
oh touch the flame to my lips babe
before the fire's gone
before the fire's gone

This acts as a jumping off point for his songs that explore the complexities of being in love and finding one's place spiritually in the world. ... more
