This Beam

This beam, this solid beam Starts beneath my feet And breaks the pavement of the street And rises, till the skies are covered And the weather disappears Everything that grows in light Expires in the endless night Safety first, just sounded right Here it is in operation We live at the centre of a cushion Nothing troubles us too much The beams have done their job as such There's only you and I to touch We are surrounded and protected All other stimuli rejected We have created our own planet Where only two hearts man it The point is our love Has turned to paranoia Anything that tries to reach in gets shut out in the foyer When I said I'd love you always I really didn't mean I would destroy you Look at what has happened Our lives have become tiny You live in my pocket And I live in your rosary Tiny little people afraid of really loving Of shouting and of kissing Dancing under pouring heavens (Heaven) Staying up all night and being fascinated Searching through the streets of Rome For something classic but R-rated Driving a thousand miles with no underwear between us Touching skin and loving sin and brushing off the dangers Feeling every breath that flows from the inside to the sky And letting sparkles dance, When we look into each other's eyes (Heaven) This beam, this solid beam The beam that once protected Now it only blinds us I'm going to take you outside now In the hope that raindrops find us I'm going to love yours alone in a crowd of well kissed faces And love you all head to toe in the warm and open spaces And hope you still love me When it's me you really see
