Three

I call the rebellion
When our words come shy
If it’s something bleak we scry
Then the intervention

And all the dust and the muck
That we gathered all this time
We wave them goodbye
As we utter our correction

Can you blame me if I say it too much?

Strike off the distance between us
They will never see
That when we came to be
All other feelings came free

Built to last all of the rust
They will never see
That when I say what I mean
I only say those words, three

Shouting thoughts when they walked in
And they braced for the night
Don’t be scared I came for a fight
And they came for a calling

Better this way than a crash
Either way we’re built to resist
Keep high in the sky
Unless we venture forth crawling

Can they blame me if I say it at all?

Strike off the distance between us
They will never see
That when we came to be
All other feelings came free

Built to last all of the rust
They will never see
That when I say what I mean
I only say those words, three

Smell and sound they come and go
And taste may be sweet but that’s just for show
And sight can almost drive you insane
Feel to feel but there’s nothing to gain

The only sense that doesn’t falter
Is the way my heart aches for you, forever

Strike off the distance between us
They will never see
That when we came to be
All other feelings came free

Built to last all of the rust
They will never see
And there’s nothing they can do
I only say, “I love you”
