Lyrics The Center - Tanya Donelly

The Center

You’re in the room I can feel you
I don’t want to, then I do
I hear the voices of the graces in here
Swimming around
Up in the corners of our room
You hold the center and I sing forever
And you won’t hear the same song twice
We’re shorter of breath, maybe longer in tooth lately
You are the love of my life
I’m on your side, believe it or not
Just don’t sneak up on me
And we’ll do just fine
Hold out your arm
And I will fly to you
Bring your leather
And I will sink my pins in
You hold the center and I sing forever
And you won’t hear the same song twice
We’re shorter of breath, maybe longer in tooth lately
You are the love of my life
You are the mountain, I’m the low-flying bi-plane
We come together in the most calamitous ways
You’re the tsunami I am the fisher in the bay
We come together in the most glamorous ways
You hold the center, I ride the satellite
We come together
You are the love of my life
