I'll have to hug you tighter
So that you won't fly away from me
Just like the sorrow in a bar
We'll have to meet in the dark
Skin knows no other way
To start clearing up the doubts
I know that it's only fear
You try to throw your heart out the window
Fighting against desire in the middle of the night
It's like waiting for God to answer a call
The soul stays anesthetized
If you want, I'll tell you the things that happen to you
When you open up to love while leaving the chain latched
You'll find that all the things that we don't do
Later are those very things that you'll miss
Read your body in braille with the lights off
I want you to understand this if you don't understand anything anymore
Love is the word that solves the crossword
You'll have to start lowering your guard
The things that others did to you
Are things that no longer happen to you
You don't really know the wind
That has to move your skirt
Whether to take a step forward, or fifty toward your back
I'm telling you it's only fear
Lovers who came but weren't looking for anything
The soul stays anesthetized
If you want, I'll tell you
The things that happen to you
When you open up to love while leaving the chain latched
You'll find that all the things that we don't do
Later are those very things that you'll miss
Read your body in braille with the lights off
I want you to understand this
If you don't get anything anymore
Love is the word that solves the crossword
