I know the water poured over my body
Feeling your neck day after day
I've climbed through torment
Your desire's anchored to mine
Your desire's anchored to my ankles
Come, nothing holds us to anything
I make you my essential
You birth me among men
I make you my essential
The one I'd love more than anyone
If you want us to learn each other
If you want us to learn each other
You know the words beneath my silences
The ones they confess, cover and uncover
I've got beliefs to offer you
I've got the future carved in your hand
I've got the future drawn the way you write it
Look, nothing takes us further
Than a gesture that comes back
I make you my essential
You birth me among men
I make you my essential
The one I'd love more than anyone
I make us my essential
You birth me among men
I make you my essential
The one I'd love more than anyone
If you want us to learn each other
If you want us to learn each other
If you want us to learn each other
If you want us to learn each other
I'll make you my essential
If you want us to learn each other
So we belong to each other
