Lyrics

Take Give

If I walked across the sea
would you walk along with me
our footsteps on the tides
and waves upon our thighs?

I just want to grab you in my arms
I want to breathe you in my lungs
and set continents adrift
If you take then I will give.

There are stations of the cross
where blood no longer falls
and people board their trains
as if leaving left no stain…

I just want to roll into the night
I want to hold you in my eyes
In this bedroom where we live
If you take then I will give.

There are storms when you are sad
and sunshine when you laugh
If you don’t know which way to go
Just reach out for my hand

I just want to shake the day away
I just want touch your blushing face
In this small house where we live
If you take then I will give.

There are countries in your soul
where no one’s ever roamed
If I sing for you tonight?
would you let me inside

I just want to sail into the west
On a ship made out of breath
with the wind of your bright kiss
If you take then I will give.
