lyrics

How Can I?

How can I write a song
that goes deep enough
to cover my broken heart
and shut the sadness off

And how can I swim so far
that words’d never reach
the distant horizon
the bottom of the sea

And how can I be so lost
the sun’s disappeared
confused all direction-
fog's covering eyes and ears

And how can I lift you up
and soar beyond these clouds
feet tightly grip the earth
dragging us down

How can I love you…?
And how can I hold you?
How can I love you?
How can I…

And how can I hold you down
heart in my hands
fists wrapped too tightly
knees too weak to stand

And how can I / be so careless
treat your whispered love
like some pretty / spring caged bird
searching for a song

How can I love you…?
And how can I hold you?
How can I love you?
How can I...

And how could I have ever missed
the longing in your soul
reaching for some fragile light
on a frail, distant shore

How can I love you…?
And how can I hold you?
How can I love you?
Keep, lose, lie to you,
How can I love you?
How can I hold you?

How can I...love you enough?
