[Verse 1]
I only have certainty when you hold my hand
There's so much 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 now

[Pre-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

[Chorus]
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
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

[Pre-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, oh
To give, oh

[Chorus]
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
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
