And Ever

I feel like
I'm drowning
In your soft safety
I feel like
I can't breath
In your soft serenity
I beseech you
I cry to you
What am I supposed to you?
Can I take
Another drink
Of your sweet eternity?

And now I'm drowning in
The way your hands brush on my skin
I'm sinking in
to the life that we create together
Falling in
and I can't escape it,
No, not ever
Yours forever
Yours forever

There's no tears now
You fight away my fears now
But oh, dear knight
You cannot fight my secret dragons
Cannot find the secret passage
It's dangerous to go alone
So take my tears
Defeat my fears
And save your princess


Because she's drowning in
The way your hands brush on her skin
She's sinking in
to the life you could create together
Falling in
and she can't escape it,
No, not ever
Yours forever
Yours forever

Where is my castle
Way up in the sky
Where is my glass bed?
Have you seen, not I.
Where's silver slipper
And my golden ring?
Knight, you make a lot of promises
But I'll wait for you to begin

I'm drowning in your promises
I'm sinking in your eyes
I've tried not to look down
But I can't help but too compromise

I cannot forget you, although I've tried
I can't stop you loving you, although I've cried
There's no escape
In a life that isn't fair
We're all the same
We're writhing in our helpless pain
Maybe it's escapable and maybe it's not
But who are we to say that isn't not real love?

And now I'm drowning in
The way your hands brush on my skin
I'm sinking in
to the life that we create together
Falling in
and I can't escape it,
No, not ever
Yours forever
Yours forever

Yours forever
Drowning and sinking and falling down
Forever and ever
And ever and ever
Forever and ever
I'm falling down.
