I've never begun a forever before Been using up life like I knew I had more One breath at a time The only one there Another day to be alone in Another lake to throw a stone in
I'm soft in the heart Where hard edges align I try to be a good friend Most of the time Too much of a good thing When even freedom wears thin So what's gotta end For forever to begin?
Fear, fearless Oh fear, fearlessness
I've never begun right from the start I was thinking that love Was a commiserate heart I'd begin by backing in Just so I could back out Another way to be alone is Be the lake you throw the stone in
I've never begun a forever before Until I didn't want anything else anymore All the time in the world You can't begin to prepare For forever before She's sleeping right over there
