You & I

(album: Lead Balloon - 2011)

Happenstance and circumstance are all knotted up in the start of us
Open eyes, open wide but if it happened once, it happened

We sat down and spoke about all the ways that you didn't want to fall
Drenched in talk, untangling thoughts that we had out loud from the inside out
My heart felt like it could burst wide open

When you arrived from nowhere there was nothing now there's you and I, you and I
Oh this came out of nowhere there was no one now there's you and I, you and I

And we dove in our skin on skin and I read out loud all the things I like
We fell asleep, our bodies neatly tucked away underneath the sheets
Your heart felt like it could burst wide open

When you arrived from nowhere there was nothing now there's you and I, you and I
Oh this came out of nowhere there was no one now there's you and I, you and I
Oh you arrived from nowhere there was nothing now there's you and I, you and I
Oh this came out of nowhere there was no one now there's you and I, you and I

You will leave, and we might fade but if it happened once, it happened.
