Enemies

Lover, you're wrong

I'm not that strong

With a whisper your breath could just blow me away

So I'm clutching like hell to each word that you say

Like a flag to its mast in a hurricane

Lover, beware

This hijacked prayer means as much as the praises I raised as a child

When my lips did their duty while my insides went wild

Every Sunday the Lord was beguiled

Are we enemies of simplicity?

Have we done wrong?

Or are we just friends who let touching hands linger a little too long?

Don't close your eyes

It's no surprise

I'm adrift in the ocean and you are the coast

You're the one I'm ignoring 'cause I need you the most

Heaven help us if we get too close

Are we enemies of simplicity?

Have we done wrong?

Or are we just friends who let touching hands linger a little too long?

How can this be wrong?

And forever might not be too long.

Are we enemies of simplicity?

Have we done wrong?

Or are we just friends who let touching hands linger a little too long?
