Your Ballad

The shadow of a man
can be crooked
so girl what you cookin?
am i your plan?
cos you're takin me where i've never been

Hidden island beach
undiscovered
coconut lovers
i'm in your reach
so open up and let me in

Cos when you drip your sweat
into my sweat
the feelings i get
are indescribable
with that one look
my whole world's shook
we write our own book
your love's a parable

I thought i knew
but i was mistaken
now that i'm wakin
up to you
the sun dont seem so far away

I feel brand new
you pulled me through it
with how you do it
wakin up to you
is how i wanna start my everyday

When you drip your sweat
into my sweat
there's no limit
i feel invincible
with that one touch
i become so much
its not just luck
your love's a miracle

so we can be drip, drip, sweatin
oh we'll go on drip, drip, sweatin
girl i love it when you're drip, drip, sweatin
onto mine....

The Art of Forgetting

There's a dark spot
that crawls inside every heartbeat
to pull me through time
that lifts me out of the rift
into eternal sunshine
to give me my ilfe back, life before truth
like a self-preservation mechanism
set off by an uncontrollable chain
of events that culminate in the shift of self
attuned to change
so once the saltiness of the tears
begin to stain my pillow
the safety switch detonates
to blot out curled up feet
summertime naughtiness and whispered intimacies
resetting the clock...

but enough.... enough now
