Brand New Lover

In the bathroom I comb my face with water

Check my reflection, say, 'what did you expect?'

Most days I seem to be loose wires that dangle

Never seem to connect

Back a ways I lost my sense of a straight line

Lost my sense of time as it falls

In the middle of the night

In the middle of the night

I was woken by a light

From you

Every day is a brand new lover

A body I've never been

I fumble under covers

With a stranger's shape and skin

Sometimes light cuts the grey

And my fear falls away

This is my every day

Now we hold ourselves so tight to each other

We lose the words, breathe out, breathe in

In the middle of the night

In the middle of the night

I can read the words you write

On my skin

Every day is a brand new lover

A body I've never been

I fumble under covers

With a stranger's shape and skin

Sometimes light cuts the grey

And my fear falls away

This is my every day

In the bathroom I comb my faith with water

This is not what I've come to expect

Most days I seem to be loose wires that dangle

But with you I connect
