Close to the Sun (feat. Meshell Ndegeocello)

[00:04.76] Love you Love you Love you Love you Love you
[00:09.93] Love you Love you Love you Love you Love you
[00:22.42] If God had me choose
[00:24.81] Between seeing the sun rise and set everyday
[00:29.32] Or seeing the beauty of your rising and your setting only once
[00:34.58] It would be perpetually noon on your face
[00:39.62] Close to the sun let's fly
[00:42.82] The weight of our heart our guide
[00:49.12] Close to the sun
[00:52.10] The weight of our hearts
[00:56.85] Love you love you love you
[01:01.79] Now that I have died I have no taste for life or the affairs of the living
[01:07.89] Only for love and the affair of the lovers
[01:11.38] The affairs of the living are many and assorted
[01:15.42] The affair of the lovers is singular and complete
[01:22.09] How do hearts learn to love
[01:25.40] Does the heart always know
[01:28.17] If it does, can the heart forget
[01:32.07] A heart that forgets to love is a like a heart that forgets to beat
[01:37.47] A heart that forgets its beat can only belong to a dead man
[01:43.65] Forgetting is deadly
[01:46.47] Remembering is life
[01:50.52] If the ocean forgets its water can it still be called an ocean
[01:55.57] If the night forgets its blackness can it still be called a night
[02:01.31] Then if I forgot love
[02:06.75] Oh God
[02:11.40] Close to the sun let's fly
[02:14.36] The weight of our heart our guide to love
[02:21.16] Close to the sun let's fly
[02:24.03] The weight of our hearts our guide
[02:27.89] Love you love you love you
[02:36.77] This is to die the resurrectionless death
[02:38.94] It is to fall into a grave with no bottom
[02:42.01] Just falling and falling farther and farther away forever
[02:48.79] Why fall so deeply into death
[02:52.21] When you can just fall deeper into love
[02:55.36] Close to the sun
[02:56.91] The weight of our heart our guide to love
[03:03.66] Close to the sun let's fly
[03:06.83] Love you love you love you
[03:11.90] I've lived so many deaths which birthed me into an even greater life
[03:18.50] I find myself looking forward to dying again
[03:26.03] Love you Love you Love you Love you Love you
[03:29.43] Love you Love you Love you Love you Love you
[03:33.07] Love you Love you Love you Love you Love you
[03:36.24] Love you Love you Love you Love you Love you
[03:39.41] If God had me choose
[03:41.09] Between seeing the sun rise and set everyday
[03:45.64] Or seeing your rising and your setting only once
[03:51.67] It would be perpetually noon on your face
[04:10.19] I'm not perfect
[04:13.75] I wasn't born of a virgin
[04:16.49] But I was worn with an aversions
[04:19.27] To those tho twist scripture birthing their own version
[04:22.61] To keep my people born as their servants
[04:28.17] I'm not perfect
[04:31.53] But I've seen those seen as small and worthless
[04:35.38] Buried as seeds with purpose
[04:39.11] And by the time they break the earth's surface
[04:41.63] They're bearing fruit too precious to be purchased
[04:47.40] I'm not perfect
[04:50.37] I could have also walked on the seas surface
[04:52.97] But I'm still too shallow too surface
[04:59.71] I'm not perfect
[05:03.77] But I know perfection when I see it
[05:08.20] And I see you and I see you
[05:14.16] They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder
[05:18.53] Can I hold you
[05:21.77] Can I hold you
[05:29.52] You're giving my eyes a reason for sight
[05:33.21] My lungs a reason for breath
[05:35.73] My heart a reason to beat
[05:38.63] My being a reason to be
[05:41.98] I'd rather be nowhere else except with you
[05:49.08] I'm not perfect
[05:52.85] But they say you will be with whom you love
[05:57.58] And beauty is in the eye of the beholder
[06:01.03] Let me hold you
