For Guinevere -

With all the years between us

(I know your heart)

You know I’d never lie

Let other people judge us

With all their own assumptions

You know with me you never have to hide

We’ll never be those wide-eyed kids who fell in love then

We’ll never fit inside those narrow lines again

We could pretend, we could pretend

But that never suited us somehow

Love is endlessly surprising

Too precious to be squandered

I’ll always be your lover,

I’ll always be your shoulder,

And I don’t care how far they say we’ve wandered.

They think the only road is where they’re heading,

But you and I were meant to sail upon the sea.

We could pretend, we could pretend,

But that never suited us somehow.

So trust me now

I’ll never weigh you like and anchor.

I hope you’ll always see me there inside your sail

I can see you’re always worrying

What they’d say if they found out

(If you’d only listen)

It might surprise them

With what this choice is actually about.

We don’t apologize for what we share between us

And every day we seem to fall in love again

We could pretend, we could pretend,

We could pretend, we could pretend

But that never suited us somehow

So trust me now.

Trust me now.

Trust me now.
