Until Our Hearts Were Level Verse 1 My heart was an empty room, No fire burning, no perfume, While yours was red with love inside, Like pomegranate seeds of light. I watched you from my hiding place, Afraid of kindness, scared of grace, A little white hare beneath the blue, Too scared to run, too starved not to. Pre-Chorus I thought that love was made to wound, That every wing above would swoop, But hunger pulled me from the ground, And every frightened road led you. Chorus Then I touched your hand, And something started flowing, Warm as summer rain Through places cold and broken. From your heart to mine, Till neither stood above— Two vessels joined together, Slowly filling up with love. And after all these years, Through every storm we've known, I still can't tell where your heart ends And where begins my own. Verse 2 I waited for the sky to fall, For love to show its hidden claws, But nothing came to punish me— You only held my hand gently. And through that quiet bridge of skin Your tenderness came traveling in, Until the hollow in my chest Forgot that emptiness existed. Pre-Chorus And what you gave was never lost, No loving gift became a cost, The more your river poured through me, The more there seemed for us to keep. Chorus Then I touched your hand, And something started flowing, Warm as summer rain Through places cold and broken. From your heart to mine, Till neither stood above— Two vessels joined together, Slowly filling up with love. And after all these years, Through every storm we've known, I still can't tell where your heart ends And where begins my own. Verse 3 We found a white road into spring, Believing time would change nothing, But seasons came with harder names, With winter winds and autumn rains. We lost some leaves along the way, Said words we wished we hadn't said, Sometimes we walked a step apart— But never broke that bridge of hearts. Bridge Maybe love is not a flame That has to burn to prove its name. Maybe love is something still, A quiet law the years fulfill. When one is empty, one can give, When one is drowning, one can lift, Until the giving turns around And no one knows who saved whom now. And somewhere in me That frightened white hare Still looks at the sky For an eagle that's not there. I wish I could whisper Back through all those years: "Come out of your hiding— Not every sky holds fear." Final Chorus So I reach for your hand, And still I feel it flowing, Older now, but warm, A river that keeps going. From your heart to mine, From mine returning home, Two vessels joined together, Neither ever loves alone. Let the decades leave their lines, Let the winter touch our bones, I still can't tell where your heart ends And where begins my own. Outro Once my heart was empty, Once yours overflowed... Then somewhere between our hands Love found a road. And after all these years, There's one thing I still know: Your heart became my shelter, And mine became your home.
