Into You

A brand new song...I can't even be sure where it came from. It isn't drawn from some wonderful, romantic life experience...at least not yet. Maybe I'm speaking something into being.

This new song, Into You, came in about 10 minutes. Reading back over it, it feels like it wrote itself.

So, I'm sharing it here...

Enjoy.

Into You

7/11/10

v1

Seems like

I’m stepping outside

Away from everything I know

So bare with me

While I let go


Seems a little

A little unlike me

But when you know, you know

So here I am

And I know



Do us both a favor

Don’t wait for an engraved invitation

Baby, this is your permission


Chorus

Tie me up

Tie me down

Bind me, graft me into you

Into you


Let me in

Shut me out

Hold me, keep me with you

Into you


A four-leaf clover, Hailey’s comet, solar eclipse

It’s that rare for me to fall like this

But here I am

Falling, falling

Into you


v2

Seems like

This is just meant to be

Just this way, uncomplicated

Like my favorite jeans

Fit right and faded


Seems a little

This side of perfect

Which our hearts easily navigate

So I follow

Take the bait


Do us both a favor

Let my touch be my indication

Baby, this is your permission


Chorus



Bridge

I’m not saying

Clip my wings

I’m just saying

Know

I’ll always fly right back to you

I’m not saying

Brand my skin

I’m just saying

Know

You’ve already left your mark
