I judged the distance 
To where you ran your hand through your hair
You were startled for an instant , you said, 
"Take me home," and I paid the fare. 


And you laughed the laugh of the innocent 
As the cab cut a path in the street
As the world swept by with it's violence
I thought of the shelter we'd find in the sheets…
In the sheets 

Chorus
I never asked you for nothing like changing your name 
I believed we had something here, but nothing ever came
Were you thrown by the language, by words that we said
When I told you I loved you 
Did it get in the way? Get in the way? 

You lit a candle, 
Then you poured me a glass of port wine
I pulled the oven handle, 
The air felt warm, the scent felt kind

And your kiss could heal like medicine
There ain't nothing that it can't overcome
But I could not lean on this evidence, 
For fear you'd take the cure and run. 
You would run...

Chorus

Cause Love won't stop to 
Think about the consequences 
Turns a fool to stumbling 
Over people's fences.

And the moon cut a frown over windy town 
But you smiled as you pulled down the shade
And we turned a corner onto holy ground 
And got lost in the love we made, that we made...

Chorus

Get in the way...
