Lyrics
Time takes care of the wound, so I can believe
Time heals wounds, allowing belief in the process.
You had so much to give, you thought I couldn't seek
You had a lot to offer, but you believed I couldn't appreciate it.
Gifts for boot, heels to crush, promises deceived
Gifts and promises were used against each other, causing pain.
I had to send it away to bring us back again
Had to distance something to reconcile later.
Your eyes and body brighten silent waters deep
Your presence brings brightness to quiet depths.
Your precious daughter in the other room asleep
Your beloved child sleeps nearby.
A kiss goodnight from every stranger that I meet
Even strangers' goodnight kisses reflect a longing.
I had to send it away to bring us back again
Similar to line 4, needing separation to rebuild.
Morning theft and pretender left ungrateful
References a theft in the morning and an ungrateful pretender.
True self is what brought you here to me
Your true self brought you to me.
A place where we can accept this love
A space where we can acknowledge and embrace love.
Friendship battered down by useless history
Friendship affected by past events yet to be examined.
Unexamined failure
Failures that haven't been thoroughly explored.
What am I still to you? Some thief who stole from you?
Questioning one's identity in relation to the other person.
Or some fool drama queen whose chances were few?
Self-doubt about being seen as a thief or a drama-prone individual.
That brings us to who we need, a place where we can save
Seeking a place for mutual healing.
A heart that beats as both siphon and reservoir
A heart that both gives and receives love.
You're a woman, I'm a calf, you're a window, I'm a knife
Comparing differences between two individuals.
We come together making chance in the starlight
Meeting and creating opportunities together.
Meet me tomorrow night or any day you want
Open invitation for future meetings.
I have no right to wonder just how or when
Not entitled to speculate about the future.
And though the meaning fits, there's no relief in this
Although the explanation makes sense, there's no comfort in it.
I miss my beautiful friend
Expressing longing for a lost friend.
I had to send it away to bring her back again
Repetition of the need for separation to reconcile.
