And I forgot how to see
After living in the darkness for so long
I forgot how to breathe
After sinking underneath it all
My heart forgot how to beat

Bare feet and backward strokes
You crashed awake my soul
Just like you’d been there before

The words stumble out
Messy and unique
I can barely hold my hand out
A shaky introduction
Of a long lost hope

Show me how love can be beautiful
My vocals still burn from where it choked
It’s more than just my second chance
I need a gentle lover
For these blistered feet to dance

Writing stories and dreaming of more
Like a spark you pushed the darkness through
With eyes so familiar, like something I already knew

The coming waves I yearn to trust
The night is dark
My vision is blurry but I feel the spark
Your palms across my ribcage
Moving my breath like it were an art

Will hands be cradled
or will they depart
The requiem or the rebirth
of a tender heart
