Late night I'm counting every breath you take Bare feet On the kitchen's shining tile Spilled rice We're laughing ‘til our shoulders shake You smile I just watch you for a while (for a while) (while) Every little wrinkle in your hands I trace Steam above the soup (above the soup) (above You don't say a word But your eyes Tell me the truth I hear your heartbeat Deep in my sleep Carry me home through the dark Through the deep I leave you behind But never alone My soul curls up on your chest like it's home Why do I run from this? Why do I run from happiness? Sidewalk You're walking half a step too slow Soft bag Swinging from your tender arm Street wind But your shoulder keeps my shadow close Silent I'm protected by your calm Talking with our eyes across a crowded room Chopsticks Little jokes You just shake your head and I know I'm already full I hear your heartbeat Deep in my sleep Carry me home through the dark Through the deep I leave you behind But never alone My soul curls up on your chest like it's home Why do I run from this? Why do I run from happiness? I close the door You wave Curtain light on your face House gets small in the glass But you stay In the quiet of my chest Where I always Always rest If peace is here Why do I chase the ache? I hear your heartbeat Deep in my sleep Carry me home through the dark Through the deep I leave you behind But never alone My soul curls up on your chest like it's home Why do I run from this? Why do I run from happiness? Ooohhhh Oohhhh
