Fortress

How did I walk, how could you speak

Before I knew what it was like to hold the universe itself in your eyes

How did I see, how could you breathe

Before we knew that we'd been missing

What we never thought was needed

Forgot common excuses that preceded

F G Am (dm7 g)

From my past I hold onto a few old layers calcified

It's been quite the ride just letting you peek inside

But your eyes feel more like home than any place that I've resided

So I'll dive if you'll dive

I built a fortress yet you process right though

the way you see me's the way I've always tried to

And this is the first day I've ever taken a full breat

You leave me hungry for you exhalations

Feed me air love feed me your air

Is this unwise, are we too much

Are you surprised love when tiiiime freezes with your touch

Have we become the other's crutch

And as I wrap around your skin

I slowly trace and pull you in 

Wasn't prepared to redefine 

all conceptions of the passing of time

From my past I hold onto a few old layers won't let go

Leeching onto lessons learned from loves I used to know

But your hand is warm and I like the pace of this place between the worlds

And so I'll face, whatever we'll face
