It's entire days crumbling under a load
Never a light feeling, always with my back hunched
Before you
Before you let me tell you it is
Shuffling around, it's barely existing
Desperate anything good will ever come
Before you
Before you, let me tell you...
Before you what was it if not a preamble
A long Way of the Cross
And then all changed
Before you there was nothing, so little that my body
Before you remembers feeling dead
It's thrashing about, singing in a desert
For whom were all those verses, all those tunes
Before you
Before you, let me tell you...
Before you what was if not a rehearsal
Of words and weary moves
And then an explosion
Before you was nothing, or so little that all my arms ever embraced was emptiness and cold
Before you what was it if not a preamble
A long Way of the Cross
And then all changed
Before you there was nothing, so little that my body
Before you remembers feeling dead
Before you what was there
Only an immense stage way too big for me
And then all danced
Before you there was nothing
Or so little than my life
Began on the morning of the day I met you.
