Lyrics
Where Do I Begin
Once again, you've caught my eye
Your gaze is strong, unyielding
And has drawn me in,
A seedling to the sky.
While locking eyes, the clouds appear
The shadow makes a fog
of what once was clear
Where do I begin?
And where do you end?
closest moments won't reveal
which part is you, which part is me
Where do I fit in?
Whose shape am I taking?
Blurry eyes and changing dreams
who's image in the mirror will I see?
I'm softened by your satin breath
the blanket warms my jaw
but it veils my silhouette
Your whisper shares a secret wish
A shiver down my centre line
my body's just a wisp
Where do I begin?
And where do you end?
closest moments won't reveal
which part is you, which part is me
Where do I fit in?
Whose shape am I taking?
Blurry eyes and changing dreams
who's image in the mirror will I see?
If love is said to give the strength of stone
Why do I feel more like silt, drowning in the undertow
How can I surrender if I just can't let go of what I know
You slip your strong hand in mine
Our palms stuck tight together
A doily on a valentine
Before too long, our touch is one
We sit, in stillness
'til our hands are as separate as two rays of sun
Where do I begin?
And where do you end?
closest moments won't reveal
which part is you, which part is me
Where do I fit in?
Whose shape am I taking?
Blurry eyes and changing dreams
who's image in the mirror will I see?
