Extraordinary Life

(album: Our Two Skins - 2020)

Your voice it came to me the clearest I had heard
Those many nights where I lay hanging from your every word
And in my bloodstream you did multiply and then
Walk down an avenue and take me to the end

It's like you're in my chest, it's like you're in my lungs
Took something ordinary, sent it for a run
The way I need you now is more than to survive
I want to give you an extraordinary life

A wave refracted a divergence underneath
Toward directions that took gravity away from me
Blind and the blinder breathed you in until the dawn
I'll tell you now I won't be back before I'm gone

It's like you're in my chest, it's like you're in my lungs
Took something ordinary, sent it for a run
The way I need you now is more than to survive
I want to give you an extraordinary life

And I will hold you closer than you have been held
And I will tell you then and now there's no one else
And when you look at me the weight of how I fell weighs
Heavy on me

And I will hold you closer than you have been held
And I will tell you then and now there's no one else
And when you look at me the weight of how I fell weighs
Heavy on me

It's like you're in my breath, it's like you're in my lungs
Took something ordinary, sent it for a run
The way I need you now is more than to survive
I want to give you an extraordinary life
