Lyrics
Verse 1
You move like an ocean; move over me
Nudge like a freight train with forceful subtlety
Stay like an anchor in your circumstance
Pull like gravity - and I don?t stand a chance
But piece by piece I place trying to see your face
Chorus 1
Not that I could - it?s no good
You moved the earth and the stars in pursuit of me
Nothing I do gets me anywhere closer to you
Verse 2
You are deep as a canyon; I fall into you
Far as the North Star but always in view
Cool as the night air - you warm me like the sun
You?re jealous as anything - jealous for my love
But I would walk through flame to hear you speak my name
Chorus 2
Not that I could . . .
Bridge
All I try bounces off the sky
I?m cut off until you reach for me
still you reach for me . . .
Verse 3
Thought I could try to win your grace
To earn the love you freely gave
How could I underestimate
The price you paid
Everything I do to try and win the heart of you
Only veils my view
I don?t deserve you . . . .
Chorus
