Matrimony II Lyrics

I only have certainty
When you hold my hand
There's so much I don't understand

Baby we've been orbiting
Each other helplessly
I guess that I blacked out
But remembered to move my mouth
So much for my vows
More concerned with here and know

No one knows of love that's slow
Held like the longest breath or
The gentle pull of gravity
That's being unto death
I can't go on living with a spark
That's only flickering
I only want that tenderness
With every moment left

I could never find something better
I even changed my name
By my side in every kind of weather
I'll never be the same

I could never find something better
I even changed my name
By my side in every kind of weather
I'll never be the same

Come closer you say
Black cats in the neighborhood
Aren't necessarily a sign of something
You know me so well
There goes the neighborhood
Let it all go burning down around us

No one knows of love that's slow
Held like the longest breath or
The gentle pull of gravity
That's being unto death
I can't go on living with a spark
That's only flickering
I only want that tenderness
With every moment left

To give, ohh
To give, ohh

I could never find something better
I even changed my name
By my side in every kind of weather
I'll never be the same

I could never find something better
I even changed my name
By my side in every kind of weather
I'll never be the same
