have you made your peace with fate 
have you resolved all of those hated mistakes 
are you banking on a bank 
to withdrawal all of the statements you made 

do the things you desire 
let you remember what you wanted them for 
when you’ve finally laid your claim 
do you find that you just search all the more 

well, not me cos i have you 
and you’re all i could ever want 
in this eternal moment 
to have and to hold 
as our bodies burden 
this returning torrent 

if my mother had stayed away 
from my father 
would she have been more happy 
if they both had stayed in the ring 
would they clown now 
or find crowds less clappy 

do the people you love 
still come greet you like you’d never left off 
or has your skin become too rough 
is it too hard to even keep in touch 

yeah, i try my best, but when i can’t 
and i’m away, know you’ve all my love 
in this sea turtle moment 
to have and to hold 
as our bodies burden 
this retarded chorus 

and you will never forget to laugh 
made with hands that will so playfully ask 
to touch and yes, to grasp 
at all the more ways for us to feel and react 

oh i know, oh i will 
i know i will 

trust yourself and the one that you love
