"Forward Motion" lyrics

Well I believed that life was just a test
Before you'd spoken
And even though I'm scared and in distress
It's forward motion

We can't keep time
We just fold it
Into pieces
We can hold

Every leaf you placed upon my chest
Is interwoven
With every morning when the light is best
In forward motion

We can't keep time
We just fold it
Into pieces
We can hold

Into the night again
Into the night again
I don't want to fight
Into the night again

Your placid back is warm but indirect
And I am open
So I will hold and hold not to reflect
It's forward motion

We can't keep time
We just fold it
Into pieces
We can hold

Into the night again
Into the night again
I don't want to fight
Into the night again

I wouldn't change a single thing tonight
I'd be mistaken
There's some beauty you just cannot fight
And you have spoken

We can't keep time
We just fold it
Into pieces
We can hold

There's a fire behind this window
It's four hundred degrees in my heart
I'm stumbling through the ashes
Praying love won't tear us apart

There's a fire behind this window
It's four hundred degrees in my heart
I'm stumbling through the ashes
Praying love won't tear us apart

There's a fire behind this window
It's four hundred degrees in my heart
I'm stumbling through the ashes
Praying love won't tear us apart

There's a fire behind this window
It's four hundred degrees in my heart
I'm stumbling through the ashes
Praying love won't tear us apart

We can't keep time
We just fold it
Into pieces
We can hold
