I stood at the sink, brushing my teeth, when you slid into the room in your sock feet. Grabbing me around the shoulders, you sang, right into my ear, close, so simply, with the music playing in the background:
Never die for always be around and around and around
I almost cried into my toothpaste before work. I felt more fragile than ever, and I tasted the bittersweet salt of it all day.
I'll marry my lover in a place to admire
I don't have to even ask her I can look in her eyes
And thank God that I am forgiven
I thank all my friends
To say I've been truer or they forgotten
Marry my mind is to say the least
It's been awful hard to just stand on my feet
I think I'll slow down if I am able
I won't drown in the ocean
Or starve in my place at the table
Lucky ones are we all 'til it is over
Everyone near and far
When you smile the sun it peaks through the clouds
Never die for always be around and around and around
