Were we ready, whoÂ's to say the answer?
Who is ever ready for these things?
No one could prepare us for the laughter

No one could prepare us for the pain

You feel like burning embers

You feel like coming home
You feel like my forever
And thatÂ's all I need/want/have to know


Every night I ask for your forgiveness
In grown up skin I still act like a child

I can make believe that I am flawless
YouÂ're close enough to see the cracks I hide


You have caused me tears of joy relentless
I cannot now imagine life without
I owe you more than humble words could confess

I love you more than I even know how

You feel like burning embers

You feel like coming home
You feel like my forever
And thatÂ's all I need to know


You feel like Christmas morning
You feel like summer rain

You feel like holy waters
That rinse away my stains


You feel like children singing
You feel like midnight calm
You feel like breathing deeply

Until the storm is gone
