You think you know that it is but it's not You got away with it til you got caught It is what it is but it's not what you thought
Savor the scent of a fruit cracking open, the sound of the soft, sacred words that were spoken, the spindle prick and the kiss by which you were awoken, and the taste of the blood from the glass that was broken
You were gone before I ever even got to know you So what should I do with this song? It was for you, but now I'll never get to show you
You told me you'd always protect me from harm, Rock me to sleep, keep me safe, keep me warm But I wondered, while wrapped in your strong, stubborn arms Are you my shelter or are you my storm?
You think you know what it is but you don't You're gonna get over this but I won't You're gonna get over this but I won't You're gonna get over this but I won't
You were gone before I ever got a chance show you that I could be true, but I was wrong when I said I never even got to know you
'Cause I know you, I know you, I know you
I know you better than the red apple knows the green worm, better than the yellow jacket knows the swarm But one thing I don't know and may never learn Are you my shelter or are you my storm?
