lyrics

You take my hand, I’m feeling dumb
We make up much more than our sum
You pick a flower for carnation
Does this mean I’m the chosen one?
Reject, refuse, resist resistance
New confidence to run the distance
A deferential calculation
Are you asking me to come?

I Take your hand, and my fingers are numb (but are you really free?)
Now I alone make up our sum (but stop and dive with me)
I pick a flower for carnation (that grows into a tree)
Does this mean you’re the chosen one? (or just the one for me?)
Resist, refuse, reject resistance (you don’t have to agree)
Your confidence to run the distance (is a confidence in me)
A deferential calculation (that I have made for thee)
Am I asking you to come? (or become part of me?)

You tell me that you think it's time
Time to throw your past behind
Do you expect to make this climb? (When we can't even breathe)
But this is your mistake, not mine (and soon, conjoined, we'll grieve)
