AN AMAZING PURSE

I never really saw it
But I believed it
We never really solved it
But you called it

To ride it on a thought even though your not feeling brave
To ride it on a feeling even though your not keeping safe
Just don’t take fires on board

I saw you in the food aisle
I said release it, release it
You went out to the car park
Just leave it, just leave it
I really thought I’d caught your eye
I really thought you’d wait a while
Always on the cusp of too much
I always thought you’d fight for us

So release it, release it
Don’t leave it, don’t leave it
And don’t take fires on board
Don’t take fires on board

I saw you in the car park
I had to delve my mind
I had to think
What I had to buy

So release it, release it
Don’t leave it, don’t leave it
And don’t take fires on board
Don’t take fires on board

For it’s an amazing purse that holds it all
Puncture jewels and they will say what you needed to
These jewels made of stones from the earth that I choose
When I don’t have fears to hold

So go shopping for ornaments
To decorate the sides of your cheeks lavishly
Cuz if you rent them out, these feelings
I can rejuvenate my feelings, so that we can unfold

So release it, release it
Don’t leave it, don’t leave it
And don’t take fires on board
Don’t take fires on board

Cuz if you say what your looking for
In the ways that your holding for
I can only, only crave deep
And I can only, only believe
