Our Most Fragile Things
We turned all our sharp parts inwards kept our shell from breaking open Our love was an idea safe and sound and softly spoken
Ever since I've had a beak I've wondered what a beak is for What I meant to be a gentle peck Struck fast and hard right to our core
First there was a bright, tiny point of light Then there was a fissure that grew into a crack and under all the pressure a part of us was shattered The feeling told us wholeness was never coming back
We must learn to fall before we learn to fly It's a test of faith for my love and I
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Some try to stop us they pluck out our feathers while they're combing our wings and some try to warn us not to trust doting hands with our most fragile things
All the red leaves shiver overlooking the Hudson River in their fragile spines I see the lines of my tired hands I've been fortune telling them they'll have long lives and children deep inside I know we're all bracing for the fall
We must learn to fall before we learn to fly It's a test of faith for my love and I
