about

a heartfelt song of love and commitment

lyrics

We are drawn like a moth to flame
risking everything
in the hope of a better day
why else would we act this way?
your electric touch I feel it
brush across my neck
inside me there must be
the other side of your magnet

but will your resolve dissolve in the morning light?
am I man enough to trust to love you right?

there is damage beneath the skin
for a moment there you let me in
I show you mine if you show me yours
we notice the common sources
but I’ve got the key
stick with me and I’ll make it better
you wait and see
if the broken pieces somehow fit
who know what we can make with that?

but will your resolve dissolve in the morning light?
am I man enough to trust to love you right?
not only in name, we’re the same as a man and wife
so I take a vow here and now to love you right

the King and Queen at the masquerade
two into one
mindful of the parts they play
the moon and the sun
can never lose their need
as if they’d begun
to think they are complete...

will your resolve dissolve in the morning light?
am I man enough to trust to love you right?
not only in name, we’re the same as a man and wife
so I take a vow to love you
