Lyrics Marutsuke (From "Given") - Brandon McInnis

Loneliness is a weapon
You hurt people you didn't mean to hurt
And then you stop even noticing

Adoration is an illness
It ends up with your heart in worlds of pain
And there's nothing that fixes it at all

These days are a miracle
But still there's something missing here in me
An emptiness that nothing can fill

You are a mystery
Your presence makes me stronger than I was
But somehow I end up weaker too

What about the you and me?
Are we good?
At being human just the way we are?

How are we?
How are we?
I'm searching out and circling what's right

Tenderness is a building block
Reaching high above when piled up
But more fragile the higher you go

Doing things right is honorable
But people mess up - That's the way it is
And what is there to rescue them from it?

What about the you and me?
Are we good?
At being in love just the way we are?

How are we?
How are we?
I'm circling without answers to find

What about the you and me?
Can we do
This life together just the way we are?

How are we?
How are we?
Make a wish - I'll circle what we find

This life is like weather
Sometimes it's rainy - Other times it's clear
And then sometimes both in the same day

I wonder if I hold for you
An umbrella to keep the rain away
Would you live the two of us as one?
