To Stand In

When I paint you
I forget how you
Like to stare at the floor
So often

Your love and calm nerves
Don't seem to add up
Forgive me
I know my way
And you know yours
Just the same
This weight that we take because
There's things that you bear to love
And you're loved if you're lucky
You're loved if you're lucky
You are loved

When will I feel I'm answered
It feels like another language you made
For with me
For escape

Should this be, then
Less deep to stand in
I make you love what I love
So we love twice as much

This weight that we take because
There's things that you bear to love
And you're loved if you're lucky
You're loved if you're lucky
You are loved

You're loved if you're lucky
You're loved if you're lucky
You're loved if you're lucky
You're loved if you're lucky
You're loved if you're lucky
