How It's Supposed to Feel

Blasé and blue towards the fool's gold pursuit

Of lookin' for love with my eyes

Honeymoon booze and pied piper truths

Are scarcely enough to get by

For nights and years, from familiar to frontiers

I loved until no one was left

Or so I believed 'til you came up to me

And we talked like we didn't want our talking to end

Then I thought to myself

So this is how it's supposed to feel

So this is how it's supposed to feel

Now I wake to a dream and we dance through its scenes

And the feat of your beauty is real

Waves of butterfly heat from the light and the deep

No fear of what base might reveal

Every age of fire, I'll never tire

Of getting to know the real you

Yellow couples to do lists, but we can subsist

On the precious and peace of just who we are

And I think to myself

So this is how it's supposed to feel

So this is how it's supposed to feel

The glorious process of knowing the question and its answer

But yearning to say it out loud

Why would I ever want to be with anyone else?

The glorious process of knowing the question and its answer

But in solitude's secret hideout, I indulge myself

Why would I ever want to be with anyone else?

We go down for the count, cheekbones on the slo-mo ground

When conflict darkens our door

But if we fight it out, we're not breaking us down

We're building by hand to something more

Past the cairns, beyond the map tears

But I'll never really be lost if I'm with you

A little freaked being this far

Inch my hand over to yours in the dark

And you know I'm always here, too

And one thing is sure

Oh this is how it's supposed to feel

Yeah this is how it's supposed to feel

Oh this is how it's supposed to feel

Yeah this is how it's supposed to feel

Seashells and cards, obsidian hearts

Birthdays like I'm new and you hanging the moon

Heard they're selling off stars but a whole universe is ours

And it begged for a song about you
