Windswept

(album: Skeletons - 2017)

On that night under the staircase
Our arms drifting down
Your kiss made me a believer
Cleansed my sins somehow

I'll be what you need
I'll keep you inside my fortress
Hand you the keys
Leave you to roam these walls

But you tore down the keeps
I returned to find ruins
You left all my love in the rubble with these walls

But in my head
I am still there
I can still feel you
Breathing slow
I've known this dream for a long time

In the air
Suspended here
With thousands of words we've spoken
Can I soar?
Up through the clouds?
Leave all of this behind?

But in my head
I am still there
I can still feel you
Breathing slow
I've known this dream for a long time

All alone
I feel your breath
I hear your whisper
Dark like storms
Telling me: "Dear, I'll never leave your mind"

And you've been there all along
Tugging me, pulling me down
Touching him, holding him close
You've made your home

And I see your face through his eyes
With every move of your hips
You're breaking my bones
While holding me hostage

Could I still love you?
Though my arms are breaking
Could we still be alone?

Do I still know you?
Are you still my answer?
To the question I've asked since I was born
