Is Love - White Lies

She stares into the mirror

You’re fading with the sun

The hollows in her face

Like wishing wells

Scarlet as a papercut

And jeweled as the Orion

She never wore that jewelry as a girl

She says the only thing I’ve ever found

That’s greater than it always sounds

Is love

He stares into the river

Heart falling to the drift

An argument of calls

Moving full steam behind

Bloodshot as a baby

And sulking like a valley

Fishing in reflections, killing time

He says the only thing I’ve ever found

That’s greater than it always sounds

Is love

It’s a bath that’s getting cold while you’re frozen to your bed

The milk that’s going rancid on the table

The panic in the evening, the photos in the dustbin, the pointless items we forgot to label

It’s the perfume on her wrist, that stinks of easy birthday’s

The spec is like it’s breathless on the side

It’s the cross around his neck, but … wrapped around her

Like diamond on a mackerel and …

She says the only thing I’ve ever found

That’s greater than it always sounds

Is love

He says the only thing I’ve ever found

That’s greater than it always sounds

Is love

I know the only thing I’ve ever found

That’s greater than it always sounds

Is love
