Flyweight Love
[Spoken Voice 1]
He's just the kind of person who can never stop moving. He's always doing something: learning a new language, meeting extraordinary people...
[Spoken Voice 2]
She likens it to a kite; it flies higher when a longer length of string is unleashed
[Spoken Voice 3]
It has made us learn to be two individuals, but also a couple at the same time
[Spoken Voice 4]
...and show a new side of myself...
[Spoken Voice 5]
It's very hard to take someone for granted when you look forward to the next...
[Chorus]
Ride on
Glide down
Hide out
My flyweight love, flyweight love
Took a train to the stubborn coast
Off-season towns half shuttered
Said hello to the rising breeze
Made a note of the setting sun
We fell asleep in our three-day clothes
One tilted head on the other
Felt a hand like the hand of god
Heard a voice like a seed of song
[Chorus 1]
Took a crowd down the avenue
To send a senator home right
Going viral on the handheld screen
I’m the diode, you’re the kerosene
We’re separate circles in a crowded hall
Debating this debating that and then another
And then the scent of you alighting on my shoulder
Hey there, oh hi, hey there, oh hi, oh my
[Chorus 2]
Out loud, go on and sing it out loud
Go on and sing it out loud
We wanna be a flyweight love, flyweight love
And now
The years surprise us
How all our times apart
Have become our vows
Took a flight far across the globe
Found a calling sweet as a lover
Through the wilderness you find in me
You are in love with all the world
And in the evening I arise
When the sun creeps on your covers
Here I am
Here you are
Breathing a hello
My flyweight love, flyweight love
[Chorus 2]
Took a train to another coast
Took our time and the time has flown
Oh you never have belonged to me
Or should I say not to me alone
