"This Heart Is Occupied" lyrics

"This Heart Is Occupied"

We skipped our feet down Winter Street
In fuzzy gold street light
We are not young but still need fun
Twice in a lifetime

But your cup is full
And your heart is occupied
But is that the truth?
Who's ever satisfied?

Nothing's pure as something new
A perfect sheet of white
With clarity, we can part these seas
Just once in a lifetime

But your plate is full
And your heart is occupied
We chase down this thrill
The cat and the butterfly

And then you gesture with the slightest intention
The colors swim into a perfect collection
Your eyes go wide
That's why you came here tonight, my love
And I, I don't really mind

Atoms crash with weight and mass
Through dangerous timelines
Heat and light make dynamite
The fight of a lifetime

But my aim is true
And my heart is occupied
You're in here too
'Cause I know you realize love

I feel you bristle at the slightest connection
As if it's fated on a course of correction
Our blood beats wild
Why don't you just stay the night, my love?
Cause I, I don't really mind

Love, it's been a long, long, long time
A moment to shine, shine, shine, shine
'Cause it's been a long, long, long time
A moment to shine, shine, shine, shine
Shine
