When We Are One

I call you up by the lamplight,
confess to you like a sister…
not even an image of you for company.
I would sit there for hours
waiting for you to finish,
but you’re mountains and rivers away from me now…
from me now…
But you know your power
and you turn it on,
like you’ve done it all before.
You pull away
just when you know that I need you more.
And you’re so laid back
when you twist me and I crack
There’s a moment when distance is done —
when we are one,
when we are one.
I have one vivid memory
of meeting you in the summer.
You were not very much younger than you are.
You sang to me like a siren,
came and made me your prisoner.
But I know you’re a friend and a foe to me now…
to me now…
But you know your power
and you turn it on,
like you’ve done it all before.
You pull away
just when you know that i need you more.
And you’re so laid back
when you twist me and i crack
There’s a moment when distance is done —
when we are one,
when we are one.
When we’re one…
There’s a moment when distance is done —
when we are one,
when we are one.
