I can be alone in the smallest space
My breath still breathing me
And everything's at peace

But you grapple with uncertainty and
You're afraid what you love could leave
And that could be.
It's a possibility.
And you wonder how to own my feelings -
Circumstantially direct my leanings
Back to you, in orbit 'round your moon

No butterfly net,
No leather leash, and
No diamond ring
Can hold me in.
I'm like the tide; I come and leave
I come and leave just as I please

I can be alone or I can share my space
The earth still firm beneath
And everything's at peace

But you long for more stability and
Also dread that you could lose something
And that could be.
I won't minimize your fear.
And you love the way I make you feel and
You're so desperate to keep me within reach of you -
As something to consume

Overflow, spilling on the floor
My heart makes such a mess
I fiercely love you only more
The more you acquiesce

But you grapple with uncertainty and
You're afraid what you love could leave
And that could be.
It's a possibility.
And you wonder how to own my feelings -
Circumstantially direct my leanings
Back to you, in orbit 'round your moon

No butterfly net,
No leather leash, and
No diamond ring
Can hold me in.
I'm like the tide; I come and leave
I come and leave just as I please

No butterfly net,
No leather leash, and
No diamond ring
Can hold me in.
I'm like the tide; I come and leave
I come and leave just as I please
