Flyweight Love

He's just the kind of person who can never stop moving.

He's always doing something: learning a new language,

meeting extraordinary people...

She likens it to a kite; it flies higher when a

longer length of string is unleashed.

It has made us learn to be two individuals,

but also a couple at the same time.

...and show a new side of myself...

It's very hard to take someone for granted

when you look forward to the next...

ride on

glide down

hide out

my flyweight love, flyweight love

took a train to the stubborn coast

off-season towns half shuttered

said hello to the rising breeze

made a note of the setting sun

we fell asleep in our three-day clothes

one tilted head on the other

felt a hand like the hand of god

heard a voice like a seed of song

ride on

glide down

hide out

my flyweight love, flyweight love

ride on

glide down

hide out

my flyweight love, flyweight love

took a crowd down the avenue

to send a senator home right

going viral on the handheld screen

I’m the diode, you’re the kerosene

we’re separate circles in a crowded hall

debating this debating that and then another

and then the scent of you alighting on my

shoulder

hey there, oh hi, hey there, oh hi, oh my

out loud, go on and sing it out loud

go on and sing it out loud

we wanna be a flyweight love, flyweight love

out loud, go on and sing it out loud

go on and sing it out loud

we wanna be a flyweight love, flyweight love

and now

the years surprise us

how all our times apart

have become our vows

took a flight far across the globe

found a calling sweet as a lover

through the wilderness you find in me

you are in love with all the world

and in the evening I arise

when the sun creeps on your covers

here I am

here you are

ride on

glide down

hide out

my flyweight love, flyweight love

ride on

glide down

hide out

my flyweight love, flyweight love

took a train to another coast

took our time and the time has flown

oh you never have belonged to me

or should I say not to me alone

ride on

glide down

hide out

my flyweight love, flyweight love
