Lyrics
just
two years ago
if you had asked me i would tell you that love is a two-legged beast
killed for the king
and then summarily dismissed for not being enough of a meal
but i didn't know you then
my camera had lost its lens
but now you're here and i understand
by the sun and its course
you can always know where your nose is pointing
as long as there is a north
i will always find my way back home to you
just as long as you want me to
two years ago
i was face down in a pool of ennui
i was unsatisfied
afraid that i
would be beholden to the old status quo
until i gave in and died
i welcomed the sweet embrace
of a slow silent fade
by the sun and its course
you can always know where your nose is pointing
as long as there is a north
i will always find my way back home to you
just as long as you want me to
two of us have so much more in our quiver than
one ever can
by the sun and its course
you can always know where your nose is pointing
by the sun and its course
you can always know where your nose is pointing
as long as there is a north
i will always find my way back home to you
just as long as you want me to
