lyrics

I never got the chance to thank you
For holding my love when she was light
Like a child unscathed and unafraid
Now she plays in the afterlife

I've long waited for the time to tell you
That my anger was fear in flames
And while licking my wounds in solitude
I gave my pride away

Call it what it was
The sweetest torment of love and loss

Once you're pulled into orbit
All reason falls through your hands
As you chip away in outer space
God, have mercy when you land

Oh and as I find my feet
And curse the earth's gravity
I will pay my thanks to love's embrace
For finally choosing me

Call it what it is
The eternal stain of love's swift kiss

I'm dizzy inside the memory
A girl on both her knees
But I found my friend in the surrender
I know she'll carry me
