I woke up
to the subtle recognition
of your shadow on my thigh
I carefully cup
the gentle repetition
from he and her
to body blur

chorus:
it eluded me
always subject to change
shot in soft focus
at a close-up range
with such a slow shudder speed
the subject is sure to bleed
with that delicacy you press to me

and a hallowed hush fell over the bar
it was sweet and new like the birth of a star
I heard you there in every pocket, space and fold
and it was breathtaking and beautiful and bold

chorus

bridge:
can’t preface this or set the scene
can’t edit this
we already know what we mean
if I broke it down it might break apart
you’re just another beacon to my heart

I woke up
to the subtle recognition…
