To Love (Acoustic Demo) Lyrics

Your name, etched in the sky

Trapped behind, tightly knit eyes

I seem to lose all composure, hands shaking and short of breath

As I take the plunge into the farthest reaches of these depths

For once I'm in, there is no way up but down, least of all a way out

I'll have to patiently wait for it to drain, and hope not to drown

Now I'll read it out, hold it in between my lips

Trying to get a feel for just how perfectly it sits

To love is to fall apart at least a little bit

Every time you, you come into view, and leave, especially when I don't want you to

Your hand, tangled in mine

Held in place, for "all of time"

As webs form betwixt my fingers, to lock between your own

I can feel an island forming, somewhere from the murky waters below

And as my lungs all but begin to fill and swell before falling out

The gills that replace them seem to do so without any sound

Now I'll hold it close, between my own

I won't let go, just so long as you don't

To love is to lose all sense, feel myself slip into a careless view

You're perfect, you're perfect to me, I'd never want you to change a thing

To love is to feel alone no more, you'll never leave the very facets of my mind

My thoughts, my meanings, my approach to this godforsaken world

As we take one step closer to love

We feel our hearts swell and our chests cave and fall

Suddenly supported by that ridiculous weight

Aren't I so glad I decided to wade

Your heart, a maze

Your heart, a haven

This only works, first, with enough taken breath

Slowly and with conviction, air drawn into my chest

And soon, you, are to replace it, on sweet time's behest

Filling in the gaps, the holes, the rest

To love

To love

To love

To love
