This is what it means to be in Love

You know that I can see your soul

Through the windows in your skull
You know that I can make you feel alive
From what I let you put inside
You know that I can drive you crazy
Yet you still want me as I am, baby
You know that I can make it alright
That I can get you through the darkest night
You know that I can make it hurt
That I can turn gold back to dirt
You know that I can make you warm
And that there’s no worse fate than a woman’s scorn
You know that I can make you breathe
Open those windows and make you see
The good and the bad
And all that we have
The balance that is you and me
You my darkness and me your night
You my wings and me your flight
Me your angel and you my demon
And sometimes that’s flipped for good reason
Chess and checkers
Are what hold us together
Jigsaw puzzles and faded lines
Choose the future and begin to suture
What’s been broken and repaired
And learn what it means to be ensnared
Then when we get to crossing the line
We make back up and leave the past behind
I am your relief and your stress
But it’s only with each other that we truly rest
We put others to the test
God help us from above
For this is what it means to be in love.
