A more recent lyric...kinda somewhere between "acoustic alternative" and "rockish folk" maybe.
It was a long time ago, you and I
Many days, many nights, seems like forever
It's so hard to forget the way you loved me with your eyes
Holding my heart in the fingers of your stare
I gave myself to you, let you climb past the walls
Let you dance in the playground of my soul
I was smiling and spinning in the dizziness of you
Embracing the rush like a child on a swing
The passion of your love for me was like wine
I would drink the moments away with you
Never feeling the ground begin to shake
Too entranced to see the waves begin to crest
Chorus:
Is the love you feel that's deepest
Worth the days in pain
Can the days spent in sunshine
Also survive the rain?
If I choose to love her without question
Will my heart be able to survive
When you only choose to love in safety
Are you ever really alive?
Sometimes passion can be the friend of anger
Sometimes we love so much it hurts
When I let my guard down and held your hand
You showed me a place I never thought I'd see
I thought the idea of you was enough to sustain me
Your voice was the hand that gave me balance
Your smile the breath to fill my lungs
But it wasn't always you I was loving in my mind's eye
I discovered in you places I never wanted to go
And at the same time I became a child again
In love and crazy and fearless forever
I mingled with desire, obesession and madness
Chorus
Seeing you here again, catching my eye from across the room
Caressed in the light of my memories
I have filtered out the heartache and pain
And I can only see love, unbridled and true
It was so hard to walk away that day in September
A thousand voices screaming for me to go
But the one pleading calmly to move on with my life
Was the one heard loudest on that afternoon
So hear you are again, standing so close I can hear you breath
I can feel the tremors starting from deep within
My heart's never safe when it's beating near you
But it's never happy when it's so far away
Chorus
Any thoughts?
