lyrics

You take the high parts. I will take the low.
No one should have to play heart and soul alone.
We are looking for things to make us both go boom,
a door between the bedroom and the living room.

Could something as heavy as all the cares of the world
be by your hand in mine made light?
Could something so big as my mountain range of dreams
somehow fit in this small kiss goodnight?
Thing of beauty.
Thing of beauty.

I’ll be with you when it’s nothing but the rain,
and after when the dark clouds are traveling away
under spun stars of the wobbling galaxy wheel
and in our hearts now just remembering how to feel.

Could something as heavy as all the cares of the world
be by your hand in mine made light?
Could something so big as my mountain range of dreams
somehow fit in this small kiss goodnight?
Thing of beauty.
Thing of beauty.

I’ll be with you when you take from the middle your half.
I’ll be with you when the riddle’s answer is to laugh.
I’ll be with you at the treetop in the lightning storm
when the sky is too bright and the wind is too warm,
the branches curling in like a spider newly dead,
as if it’s trying to catch its soul the moment it is shed.
You got the hammer, honey. I got the nails.
Bring in the breezes, baby. I will be your sails.

Could something as heavy as all the cares of the world
be by your hand in mine made light?
Could something so big as my mountain range of dreams
somehow fit in this small kiss goodnight?
Thing of beauty.
Thing of beauty.
