[Verse 1] If you needed fire, I'd dig up a well If you needed water, I'd raise up hell The earth beneath us is framed by the sky As I look upon you, I need never know why
[Chorus] For I'm the opposite of you As one, we balance two After all that we've been through All I need in this world is you
[Verse 2] As I lay dying, you tell me to live And with life, I was selfish; you taught me to give Babe, if I hurt you, please try to forgive For no man is perfect in this world that we live
[Verse 3] If lust was the jailor then love held the key As I fell from the mountain deep into your sea When fear cherished safety, unbounded, we are free And if it was not for darkness, the light I could not see
[Bridge] For the voice in our heads is all that's separate now As one, we move slow through this eternal night I know we're going to make something of this great longing called life Like my heart's been drunk on kerosene and you are my light
