Lissie’s Heart Murmur
where the ships pass by
and the sound of your laughter
in the endless sky
tips my head back
full of swimming thoughts
beneath deep breathing
that sinks so far down
and i handle my business
and i know the prize
is of no consequence
you have looked with your eyes
wide open to what’s inside
that sinks so far down
i’m in two
i went looking
went searching
under the water
sinking and pushing
til you pulled me under
to where you are
to where we build our house
and so we sink so far down
and we can’t go back now
can’t go back now
on the edge of the water
where the ships pass by
and the sound of your laughter
in the endless sky
tips my head back
full of swimming thoughts
beneath deep breathing
now i stay holding this honesty with you
i went looking
went searching
under the water
sinking and pushing
til you pulled me under
to where you are
to where we build our house
and so we sink so far down
and we can’t go back now
sink so far down
when I know you’re around
and I can’t go back now
can’t go back now
