Focus

We grew up, two lonely children 

On opposite sides of the globe

Still, I used to sing to your spirit 

Lying awake at a night longing for a hand to hold

Sought you out in faces of strangers

Never knowing how or when you’d appear,

But when you materialized one day

I found I recognized you all the same.

Funny how it all comes into focus

The moment you came into the frame

Strange how the bigger picture changed

From the first time you uttered my name

‍

Oh, everything that came before

All the things that we endured

Melt into the background

With you standing in the foreground

Now that you’re right in front of me

You are all I see

You are all I see

We complete more than each others’ sentences

Could be born of the very same spine

Although the spines bear a different name

The book is the self same

I used to be weak, now you’ve made me strong

You gave me a place to belong

I wanna be the home that you never had

To give you all the love you ever wanted

Funny how it all comes into focus

The moment you came into the frame

Strange how the bigger picture changed

From the moment you uttered my name

Oh, everything that came before

All the things that we endured

Melt into the background

With you standing in the foreground

Now that you’re right in front of me

You are all I see

You are all I see
