Lyrics

He was doing research
She'd learned by word of mouth
Escaping her redemption
She'd come up from the south
He was vague in conversation
About where exactly he was based
They left at separate hours
So obviously embraced
Later on it surfaced
They were each other's perfect match
Though her old man did warn her
He wasn't bound to get attached
She never cared to know the number
Of eyebrows being raised
As they prepared for solitude
So obviously embraced
Apparently they broke up
To the sound of tumbling dice
She dropped back on him one evening
Saying I had to check up on your eyes
It certainly impressed him
But he was careful not to chase
On the walls he'd seen their destiny
So obviously embraced
After their agreement
It went down like a cannonball
Later he'd say if I was losing it
It's because I really had it in the fall
Clearly he was shaken
Though punches thrown were poorly placed
To his credit god knows he took the blows
So obviously embraced
Pursuing her career then
She soon received her degrees
But you couldn't tell whether she was a healer
Or an afflicted one in search of remedies
She carefully examined
The soft skin that he had grazed
And could not help but feeling
So obviously embraced
There were rumours of desertion
She wondered if he was still around
She searched the internet and the churches
But he was nowhere to be found
When she was lying on them couches
Still bleed possessed and crazed
She still held hopes to find her love
So obviously embraced
One night by the harbour
Someone approached him in a barSaid come over to our table
You know you can only stretch your luck this far
He could feel the years dividing
As it all fell into place
There she was, his one true love
So obviously embraced
The regulars were leaving
As she took him by the hand
Saying tell me how you've held up
Are you still reaching for the grand
At first he was reluctant
Then she whispered to his face
And so he laid his story down
So obviously embraced
Barrenness and virtue
Are easily confused
And people keep up their appearances
With their hearts and their souls all bruised
But when everything is measured
And our lines have been rephrased
Still remain the lines we made
So obviously embraced
