Matrimony II Lyrics

Tennis Matrimony II

[Verse 1]
I only have certainty when you hold my hand
There's so much that I don't understand
Baby we've been orbiting each other helplessly
I guess that I blacked out but remembered to move my mouth
So much for my vows
More concerned with here and know

[Chorus]
No one knows of love that's slow
Held like the longest breath
Or the gentle pull of gravity
That's being-unto-death
I can't go on living with a spark
That's only flickering
I only want that tenderness
With every moment left
I could never find something better
I even changed my name
By my side in every kind of weather
I'll never be the same

[Verse 2]
Come closer you say
Black cats in the neighborhood
Aren't necessarily a sign of something
You know me so well
There goes the neighborhood
Let it all go burning down around us

[Chorus]
No one knows of love that's slow
Held like the longest breath
Or the gentle pull of gravity
That's being-unto-death
I can't go on living with a spark
That's only flickering
I only want that tenderness
With every moment left to give
I could never find something better
I even changed my name
By my side in every kind of weather
I'll never be the same
