a lovesong

you kissed my heart
and burned a hole right through
you looked at me and laughed
but i swear it's all true

every little thing
everything i've said
every spoken word
and everything you've read

maybe when we first met
no--i didn't think it likely
that i should come to be this way
to think of you so highly

i see your face everywhere i go
the sun, the moon, the stars, the air
they all scream your name at me
every day, every night, every where

but all i ever wanted
all i'll ever need
wasn't what you wanted
isn't what you need

you kissed my heart
and burned a hole right through
you made me whole
i lovesong you


[7.8.02]

what was the fourth stanza about? it seemed at odds with the rest of song's timid-lover or doeful-worshipper persona. i liked most the verbage of "lovesong" and the use of the dash. and of course, the fact that it's a lovesong.

This song has a nice way of describing the way love can feel like a burst aneurism, forcing you to bleed internally to death.
