Relief

Sunset
What hurts at this angle now heals
Lithium enters an open green doorway
My gaze follows

On your back my fingers rest
You're made from a rib
In a kiss you give it back
What's exhaled becomes my breath
And only your attention can bring

Relief

Sunrise
Your hand on my side how it burns
I learn the most about myself
When I'm alone
And kisses are a far better fate than wisdom

On your back my fingers rest
You're made from a rib
In a kiss you give it back
What's exhaled becomes my breath

When I'm with you I'm satisfied
Like nothing else in this life
The streets melt away

When I'm with you I'm satisfied
No one else can make my head turn
Turn away

And I know
That no love can ever survive
Having said that
I still need you by my side

If what we are is what we mean to each other

I know I said it before
I'll say it again

I need your attention
