Blind Lyrics

I can learn facts and figures

I recall names and dates

And my memory delivers

While my temperament waits

Why not count all the whispers

Of your breath while you wake

Study names of your sisters

Meet them on winter break

I'd like to know your story

I'd like to read your mind

I want to see the world

You grew up and left behind

I'd like to know your heartache

I'd like to show you mine

Dear Lord, I'm falling fast

The die's been cast

And my love won't be blind

I can memorize Shakespeare

I've read half of his plays

I like fall and I hate beer

And I'm lonely some days

And nobody here knows it

It's not something I do

But now since you've proposed it

I might have it in me to show you

I'd like to tell my story

I'd like to bare my wounds

Here in this whole new world

You've got my matching bruise

And once I know your heartache

Maybe I'll show you mine

Dear Lord, I'm falling fast

Composure's past

And my love won't be blind

And you held my body

When you felt it shake

But what if once you've got me

You leave when I wake?

These will be the gallows

I'll be bound to haunt

If I break this moment

Where I finally have

The one thing I want

I'll let you know my story

I'll let you read my mind

I'll let you see the girl

I grew up and left behind

And if it doesn't phase you

Then can I call this mine?

Dear Lord, I'm falling fast

Can it please last?

Oh, our love won't be blind
