it was going to happen
sooner or later we would fall
we needed a lesson
one we could not fortell
i knew what you meant to me
i knew it too well
and i knew what we would have to be
so we wouldnt wind up in hell
so, here we land
hard to the ground
and for once i question our love
i question the world
i let it vent on you
how close we were was killing me
and i would never push you away
i would've- if i could've
but i never found the words to say-
so we come to last night
and we burst, erupt
explode.

i read your words
that react to mine
and for the first time, i've heard
"i'm so far from fine"
and i realize that we both
need something different
than this perfection we have
and so it's been
but i think we've been saved

girlfriend- sometimes we've agreed
when we both know we're wrong
but now i think we've seen, believed
that we shouldnt have gone along-
and now, as we emerge from this earthquatke
something that we busted through
i think this feeling will shake
i think i can start feeling you
and now with a little work
a little distance, a little time
we'll love each other more than ever
we'll be doing just fine-
and i cant wait to thank you
for feeling like i do-
pissed off for everything i've done
for being so true
and now we're open for life
open for business
open for us
open to the end of this
tension- we are together
and nothing will change it
so we will be forever
lets begin another day
in its own way
it has become
a rebirth of us.
i love you cheryl, and i always will.
