The Story of Love Lyrics

This time I got it

Is it right to say right

Because it'd been like a thousand nights

Outside of the reach of your light

I was listless

Wandering

Alone in the wilderness

Pondering

My existence, what is this

Ne'er do well

Tale of an average male

Unhitched

Unsmooth

A lot of scratching of itch

With nothing to prove

Did I ever believe

Could I ever dare to dream

With my history

That I could be writing this story

Can I love you

While I count out love you

I have a ton of fear of not doing my part

As an anchor

As a lighthouse

As a pillar

As a dream-maker

As a knot in the rope

And the hoped for romance

As a partner in a slow dance

You gave me the chance and I took it

Slim that it was

Now watch us advance

Over all of this dust to dust

I got the moon in my eyes

As all this shakiness flies away

Disappearing

I'm here in my element

Fearing not one thing

Swimming freely

Hearing sirens sing

Ain't none of us bluffing, family

Where can't we go from here

We might have always been together

Making moves

Over time, over years, over eons

And maybe I couldn't remember

But this time

I'm writing it all down as you found me

All that we shared

All that we dared

Can I still love you

While I count out love you
