Lyrics
This letter won't make it to you in time
This letter won't reach you on time.
Introverted by your distance from me, and by mine
Feeling introverted due to the distance between us.
But the chameleons who sift through the trees
Chameleons in the trees symbolize change and adaptability.
Are garnering a bouquet in my head's faculties
Imagery of a bouquet in the mind, possibly thoughts or memories.
And its filled with scales and perfumes wearing thin
Head filled with conflicting emotions and fading fragrances.
There is no flaw in you, there is no sun on your skin
A declaration of perfection, denying any flaws.
Where have you been all of my life?
Rhetorical question expressing surprise at finding someone special.
I hear a lizard tongue above my head
Imagery of a lizard tongue suggests an unsettling feeling or presence.
Will you be my wife?
Proposal for a deeper commitment, asking to be a life partner.
Skin and bones and things that make my heart beat
Describing the physical and emotional impact of love.
My possession my obsession, everything to me
Expressing possessiveness and obsession towards the loved one.
The sound of your voice and all your fingertips
Highlighting the significance of the loved one's voice and touch.
Is like a bible verse spilling right across your lips
Comparing the impact to a powerful and meaningful scripture.
Waiting for my bride no longer taking it's toll
Enduring the wait for the beloved without feeling burdened.
Like a great horned owl swallowing fruit bats whole
Metaphor of a great horned owl, possibly representing fulfillment.
Now that you're here I feel a presence that I didn't before
Feeling a new presence now that the loved one is present.
I feel your love I feel the warmth I'm feeling so much more
Sensing love and warmth, experiencing heightened emotions.
No more stiff joints, no more skin dry and rigid
Symbolic relief from physical discomfort and stiffness.
You're like a funnel in my heart
Describing the loved one's impact on the speaker's heart.
No longer arctic and frigid
Transformation from a cold state to a warm and open one.
I'm indebted to you, you are my only one
Expressing gratitude and devotion to the loved one.
Straight from the breath of the almighty Father, Spirit and Son
Acknowledging a divine connection, possibly referencing spirituality.
