lyrics

Joi

Let’s put things back in their places
Everything is sacred
No reason not to hold this close
It’s a sobering heart I’ve grown

Don’t go leaving me vacant
I thought our love was ancient
Archives by oil and wax
And the pigment of a bloodroot tap

There’s a nest
A nest we can find
Made out of truths found in the tall red pines
No more hiding from the pain and lines

I would face the steep ledge and hold us
Tight like a wire
I like the danger and scare that it gives me
And all my desire
I would hold your hand with mind
With the warmth of the fire
And open my arms up to the wind
And take us higher and higher….

Let’s not point out all the failures
That held us down like anchors
Weighted to the ocean floor
Made of volumes of our own folklore

Let’s take a back
With a battle cry
Raised up in the joy of life
I’m so happy that you are my wife

I would face the steep ledge and hold us
Tight like a wire
I like the danger and scare that it gives me
And all my desire
I would hold your hand with mind
With the warmth of the fire
And open my arms up to the wind
And take us higher and higher….

I would face the steep ledge and hold us
Tight like a wire
I like the danger and scare that it gives me
And all my desire
I would hold your hand with mind
With the warmth of the fire
And open my arms up to the wind
And take us higher and higher….
