at home or abroad
sunny skies or fog
I remember you
flashes of the two plus one were we
sure it hurts sometimes
but baby that hurt’s aging like wine
havin a fine time
with your silly rhymes
on a boardwalk across
[Love built a boardwalk across]
a forest in a swamp
[a forest and a swamp]
it hurts - the shame
of [playing / being trapped in] a game
that I never meant to play
I never wanted to live this kinda way
and yet here I stay
three months past fifteen-hundred days
dropping hints in the quiet space
I believe in Grace
but I’m afraid to chase
the crowded stage
a place so many face
look a lot better or worse
but none look like me
none see what I see
on the screen I call me
and from a hall of mirrors I watch
what me sees
oh Love find me please
oh Love never leave me
oh Love I still believe [in a we]
[that's both] sugary sweet
[and] a tangy-tart treat
eight-hundred thousand feet deep

oh Love - find me please
oh Love - what you’d have me be
[oh Love - what is it you ask of me]
oh Love - under star-lit skies
oh Love - I remember why [I’m alive]
oh Love - lookin at me smilin back at we
oh Love - there need not be me
oh Love - only we
oh Love - only we
oh Love - only we...
