I Do

(album: A Golden State - 2019)

Faithfulness, beating chest, honesty
Fear will have its way and kill me constantly
I got higher than I thought I could
So why oh why can't I be proud I did

Doubtfulness, bearing flesh, you know me
Love will reconnect me with my potency
Love has got me lower than I thought it could Sometimes there's no answer why I don't feel good

True
Stay true
Pray to whatever gets you going every day
To the God who makes you feel that it's ok

Fade to back, flashing back, memory
The summer afternoon when you married me
My ribs on fire and my heart ablaze
My one desire just to meet your gaze

True
Stay true
I remember every single way you moved
And the melody of how you said I do

The shudder of the spine in time
With the tempo of the heart
Lighting strikes my finger tips
As our skin is forged
Never torn apart

My lungs are filled with ocean chill
My eyes with light
I think I died and I know I came alive

Half a decade comes and goes
Like the changing of the leaves
I'm cynical of heaven now
But you make me believe

I love the music and the grace in which you move
I love the rhythms that you choose
And the melody of how you said I do
