love not with haste

love not with haste 

we’ll climb that bridge after it’s gone:  

get me back on my own two feet 

before I tumble homeward, homeward 

you’re the only thing that I love, 

scares me more every day 

(you’d always go past where our feet could touch) 

if it weren’t for second chances, we’d all be alone – 

but it’s all right, the hardest part is through – 

tell me I’m safe, you’ve got me now 

time, mystical time 

cutting me open, then healing me fine 

(I have seen, seen it all in paper dreams) 

show me the places where the others gave you scars 

and I will love with urgency, but not with haste 

I will share your road – 

can’t you see that when I find you, I’ll find me 

oh, I need you to know today I’ll wait for you always 

(won’t you come with me?)
