For a young lady who says she is "a little more bitter than sweet."

lyrics

The distance from my heart to yours
Across the fields, between the stars
Might be the same, as the difference
Between the truth and fairy tales
Of wedding rings and pretty things
The architecture of your heart

And if you could just come back to me
I swear I would give you all you need
It could be incredible, it would be incredible
And if we could both just take the time
I think that our souls might start to rhyme,
It could be incredible, it would be incredible

The letters underneath the lines
In passing words from hearts resigned
To venti chais and discount lies
A month of sundays passed me by
Engaging looks and trading hooks
The modern marvel of your smile

If I could write the sweetest words
And sing a song you've never heard
I hope your hands would reach for mine
So if I might be yours tonight
Together we could shine a light
And raise a glass to lips divine
