lyrics

Sure as the shore is the door to the sea,
you my adored could be the door to me,
where I could dream and dream without the sleeping,
and gonna love without the needing,
both the candle and the match, the hook and the catch.
You’re the ticket. I’ve been speeding.

You alone pull me out of me.
If I glow, it’s because you loaned me the energy.
I alone pull you out you,
until you shone through the hole I’ve been looking through.
Somehow you and me became a we
by human alchemy.

Your name became like honey on my tongue.
Among six billion, I count only one
where I could dream without the sleeping,
and gonna love without the needing,
both the sun and the glasses, both the party and the midnight masses.
You’re the ticket. Baby, I been speeding.

You alone pull me out of me.
If I glow, it’s because you loaned me the energy.
I alone pull you out you,
until you shone through the hole I’ve been looking through.
Somehow you and me became a we
by human alchemy.
