I think I’m falling in love again
Such simple miracles have happened
Since your steady hands have come and stopped my unraveling
Your fingers, built for the piano
Work out the knots that line my back
The stress I’ve stored since last December;

And this clarity I’ve never had
You are the bounce in my step, the burst of blood in my chest
The prayer I’ve kept in my head
You are the knock of my knees

You are the words I fumble for
In the morning, you are the daybreak
And I’m glad
And at night, you are the dream
