[Verse 1]
I cannot follow you, my love
You cannot follow me
I am the distance you put between
All of the moments that we will be

[Chorus]
Ah, you know who I am
You've stared at the sun
Well I am the one who loves
Changing from nothing to one

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I need you naked
Sometimes I need you wild
I need you to carry my children in, yes
And I need you to kill a child

[Chorus]
Ah, you know who I am
You've stared at the sun
Well I am the one who loves
Changing from nothing to one

[Verse 3]
If you should ever track me down
I will surrender right there
I'll leave with you one broken man
Whom I will teach you to repair
[Chorus]
Ah, you know who I am
You've stared at the sun
Well I am the one who loves
Changing from nothing to one

[Verse 4]
I cannot follow you, my love
You cannot follow me
I am not life, I am not death
I am not a slave or free

[Chorus]
Ah, you know who I am
You've stared at the sun
Well I am the one who loves
Changing from nothing to one

[Verse 5]
Sometimes I'm gonna need you naked
Sometimes gonna need you wild
I need you to carry my children in
And I need you to kill a child

[Refrain]
Ah, you know who I am
You've stared at the sun
Well I am the one who loves
Changing from nothing to one
