Did I show up right on time
as you were finishing the crescent on a question mark
I closed in a circle?
But once you were mine
the weight upon your hand and the promise
just too much of a burden
But if it’s love
why the hurting?
if it’s love
why the weight?
round my finger
turning
If it’s love …
oh…
Like walking on the moon, we fell
but I learned how to walk with you
my left hand anchored to yours
Cold around my finger
an empty place, I shiver
with the first new lover’s touch
upon the skin that was obscured …
Love,
I thought I knew
oh, love
but how I miss you
oh, love
the weight
was more than you could take
oh…
And once I slipped you off
I discovered something lost
Now I’m superhuman
don’t know what I’m doing
I’m only clumsy
’cause I’m so strong
And when it’s love
I’m gonna feel it
oh, when it’s love
it won’t be a weight
I could float right up to the ceiling
honey, I’m not saying you were kryptonite
but all of a sudden I can fly …
Did I show up right on time
as you were finishing the crescent on a question mark
I thought was a circle?
