[our song]

I'm not exactly a big fan of Jason Mraz, but right now I'm liking this song far more than anything by Damien Jurado ("Blasphemy!" I know). It's probably because there's so much... inherent... in this song, our song. 


When I look into your eyes
it's like watching the night sky or a beautiful sunrise.
Well, there's so much they hold.
And just like them old stars,
I see that you've come so far,
to be right where you are.
How old is your soul?

Well, I won't give up on us,
even if the skies get rough.
I'm giving you all my love.
I'm still looking up.

And when you're needing your space
to do some navigating,
I'll be here patiently waiting
to see what you find.

'Cause even the stars, they burn.
Some even fall to the earth.
We've got a lot to learn.
God knows we're worth it.
No, I won't give up.

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily.
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make.
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
the tools and gifts we've got, yeah, we've got a lot at stake.
And in the end, you're still my friend, at least we did intend
for us to work, we didn't break, we didn't burn.
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in.
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not, and who I am.

I won't give up on us,
even if the skies get rough.
I'm giving you all my love.
I'm still looking up, still looking up.

Well, I won't give up on us.
   (no, I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough enough.
   (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn.
   (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it.
   (and we're worth it)

I won't give up on us,
even if the skies get rough.
I'm giving you all my love.
I'm still looking up.
