Vis a Vis

And how nice it is to see
The shadows cast by the bars
While I lean in to hear
The rhythm of your steps

If the world’s upside down
We’ll need to find some sanity
And a touch of madness
To love you even more

Yesterday I wrote you a letter
Today I’m writing this song
Tomorrow we have a date
Where love gets robbed of time

We’ll fly without moving
And wherever we need to sign
I’ll make a little cut
With blood that spans the sea

To put it in writing
That I won’t back down
And add blood to the cry
Of those who love without being able to love

To put it in writing
That I won’t back down
And add blood to the cry
Of those who love without being able to love

This voice can’t be silenced
Neither by the wall nor the glass
Out there, you’re missed
Freedom’s crying out

And then we’ll let go
If we want to let go
But we never let them go
Their chains are made of salt

From a salt that dissolves
With more tears of salt
From your moan and mine
In a biweekly face to face
In a biweekly face to face

In a biweekly face to face

To put it in writing
That I won’t back down
And add blood to the cry
Of those who love without being able to love

To put it in writing
That I won’t back down
And add blood to the cry
Of those who love without being able to love

Of those who love without being able to love
