You look for the best in me The things that I rarely believe And you know that's all I needed from the start You travel the world for me Set sail in the ocean breeze And I always feel the beating of your heart 'Cause our love can light up the dark But our love keeps us apart The reason why it feels so hard For me to make a choice Is I'm learning to love I'm learning to love like this And I won't waste one second more I need to hear your voice So I'll learn how to love I'll learn how to love like this You know I'll make room for you If only you keep your truth And you live your life exactly how you planned I only want good for And maybe I'll add some too And we'll find our perfect place, our wonderland 'Cause our love can light up the dark But our love keeps us apart The reason why it feels so hard For me to make a choice Is I'm learning to love I'm learning to love like this And I won't waste one second more I need to hear your voice So I'll learn how to love I'll learn how to love like this The reason why it feels so hard For me to make a choice Is I'm learning to love I'm learning to love like this

Lately I've been dreaming about water The single drop that falls from the sky The ocean wide The pushing tide The river run dry Lately I've been thinking about breathing The privilege of breath in my lungs The freedom songs That drown out the guns And your breath gone Oh, the rope is tightening Oh, the water's rising Lately I've been moving in crowds Bodies close together crying out This wave is loud Breathe in, breathe out The time is now Lately I've been dreaming about life Lately I've been dreaming about change Lately I've been dreaming about joy Lately I've been dreaming about home Lately I've been dreaming about death Lately I've been dreaming about song Lately I've been dreaming about love Lately I've been dreaming about rage Lately I've been dreaming about pride Lately I've been dreaming about you Lately I've been dreaming about words Lately I've been dreaming about hope

Telephone wires cut through The sunset on my evening walk to your house The air is sweeter after the storm You let me in and we Listen to music as the rain comes again Oh I can see we're falling in love I wonder what the world the was like Before we claimed it all And what would fill your eyes with light When you were small Follow me home, we'll cross The meadows and I'll stop at every rose To smell the sweetness after the storm

Kin 04:29
I don't know what I'm doing But oh I'm good At making it look like I do I keep hoping for a sign A map to tell me I'm right Or some kind of celestial guide But, oh I'm alone A singular howl at the moon All I know is the feeling Inside my skin The hum of the world spinning round The calling of the children My kith and kin Their voices rise from the ground Oh, I'm not alone My kin with their chorus of song Oh, I'm not alone
5.
I can't drive after I see you You make me drunk and distracted Got me coasting through every stoplight in town And I keep checking my reflection Thinking this is what love looks like Cheeks like roses, eyes like flames Like flames I'll try but I can't paint this Or color in your kindness You are green and gold and clear like rain And I don't know how to thank you My words are just as empty As the days before you came to stay And I know I'm not alone I've got a love to call my own I know I'm not alone I've got a love to call my own My own I've been chasing sleep since midnight I did not want to wake you So I'll just whisper this and maybe you'll hear You make me higher than that mountain That we climbed that day last summer All I want is a million more like that And you say baby you're not alone You've got a love to call your own Hey baby you're not alone You got a love
