Jukira Life

I keep thinking
Where did we go wrong
How did we not feel
The suffocating touch of our selfish shields

You’re desperate to leave
Desperate to be free
I see it so clearly
Because I see it in me

A litany of possibilities
Is just beyond our reach
If we’re careful
If we’re patient
If we’re forgiving
We might birth a seed of opportunity

So, baby please
Take some time
I’m right here
Our weapons of love are lost
And the bitterness of time
Has left a trail of hate that we cannot navigate
But, baby look, I’m still right here

So, don’t…oh…don’t
Don’t go ahead of us
We can’t see that far
And don’t…oh…don’t, leave us
I need time for you and me to see
Where we could be

I keep thinking
Where did we go wrong
How did we not feel
The suffocating touch of our selfish shields

You’re desperate to leave
Desperate to be free
I see it so clearly
Because I see it in me

Blinded by our wrongs
I’m stumbling along tripping over
YOU, I, HATE, GO AWAY
LET ME BE ……… I NEED PEACE

But peace be damned
We were meant to be
We’re not enemies

So, don’t…oh…don’t
Don’t go ahead of us
We can barely see now
And don’t … oh… don’t, leave us
I need time for you and me to see
All the possibilities lurking just beneath

I keep thinking
Where did we go wrong
How did we not feel
The suffocating touch of our selfish shields

You’re desperate to leave
Desperate to be free
I see it so clearly
Because I see it in me

So much has been lost
I can’t see ahead
I can barely see now

Come back, come back
Baby come back
You’ve gone ahead of us
The past is a blur
The present is a minefield
So, stop, turn back
I need time for you and me to see
Where we could be

You’re desperate to leave
Desperate to be free
I see it so clearly
Because I see it in me

But it’s time to fortify our love
Put pressure on these paralyzing traps
Shutting them down for good
We’ll heal, you’ll see
A clear path, loving shields
Baby we will be all we need to be

It’s time to stay
It’s time to focus on we
Not me, or you, or I, or thee

So, don’t … oh… don’t, leave us
Don’t go ahead of us
Let’s stay right here for eternity
