Punchdagger - Clarity Lyrics

I know I said that I would write you a song
And it's been brewing in my head for so long
I didn't want to let you down
So I've been saving up my words
And putting them into the ground
Where they can grow into poetry

Outsiders to the world around us
I don't know who I'd be without you

Looking back on when we met
I didn't know that I was such a mess
Until you came along
Directionless
Discontent
And scared as f*ck of who I'd grow up to be
As if I had no f*cking choice

Isn't it funny how life works?
There could be nothing for years
In the desert of loneliness
But then love appears like a cruel mirage
That you've seen before
In dire thirst
And it haunts the mind
Until it's real
But you are real

Inspired by
Every breath of love
You've given me
Through the years
I turn to the world
Making good on the promise of happiness
That life assured me when I was born
You opened up my eyes
So I could see
It's been you and me
Against the world

And so I said that I would write you a song
To reassure you any time you were lost
I only want to make you proud
I hope that all my little words
Have emanated from the ground unscathed

You give me strength when there is no hope
You give me reason to care
You are light on the darkest night
You are there
Outsiders to the world around us
A soul alone without you
Keep me dreaming
Be my guide
Souls aligned
I love you
