Before
Confined on my mountain
Behind walls that can't be breached
Occupations of my own design
My own air to breathe
Before I let down my guard
Before I let you in
Before I started thinking oh so grand
I won't do that again
Walk into my garden
Surrounded by jasmine spell
You just had to have it all
For what reason I never could tell
Before there was guilt
Before complicated shame
I never did anything to anyone
Or have to explain it away
Let us find our islands to die in
Far from home
Far from anywhere familiar
Let us risk it
Rather than going down in comfort and despair
Standing on the shoreline
Embraced by endless waves
I wandered out way to deep
Hardly wanting to be saved
Before there were two
Before love in vain
Before I ever knew anyone
I should have kept it that way
Behind walls that can't be breached
Occupations of my own design
My own air to breathe
Before I let down my guard
Before I let you in
Before I started thinking oh so grand
I won't do that again
Walk into my garden
Surrounded by jasmine spell
You just had to have it all
For what reason I never could tell
Before there was guilt
Before complicated shame
I never did anything to anyone
Or have to explain it away
Let us find our islands to die in
Far from home
Far from anywhere familiar
Let us risk it
Rather than going down in comfort and despair
Standing on the shoreline
Embraced by endless waves
I wandered out way to deep
Hardly wanting to be saved
Before there were two
Before love in vain
Before I ever knew anyone
I should have kept it that way
