This Love That We Carry

I met you when your heart sank
How can someone so beautiful look so sad
Mourning the ending of a lover
I just wanted to see that smile come back

You said "come with me, lets go"
Saying "lets cross the state line border"
You are a daughter of your mothers
You never dwell on the pain of others

Lets hear that secret that you know
That you don't know how to tell
You can't make anyone stronger
And the answer doesn't lay in your bed
But you know that you're free girl
And the blood in you runs red

Then the leaves started calling
You could hear them with all your heart
You were looking at me right then
Wishing on your favorite three stars

You said "this is your moment"
And leaned in for a kiss
Your soul shown so brightly
You pray for moments just like this

This love that we carry
I feel it when you speak
Your heart is a love song
How could he set you free

Normal

Are you sure this ice is worth breaking
For all the pain its capable of creating
My words are calm and low
There were things I wanted you to know
And in his shadow I grow tired of it all

A normal life was forfeit long ago
We feel it more the older we grow
And sometimes, sometimes I see you
Dancing in the snow

My doll, no, more than this
My partner through life's every fit
But how can it be
When we live life so separate

Can I be the trouble you're in?
May I be the reason you grin?
I know the symbolism is fake
But can I just pretend
To be the well dressed groom
Upon your cake?
