She lit up like some sort of Christmas tree
All golden and godlike and all bright and green
And I wish you could have seen
My insides swim inside of me
Like bullets they shot through beams
Absorbed in the cracks and sunk into the seams
My heart actually skipped a beat
I guess, metaphorically, it was at a loss to speak

And walking out along the beach and the sand
Drinking with her and almost holding hands
Happiness sometimes it can't be planned
Like a meeting of odds or a turn of chance
And still no matter where you stand
A light shines out of you as bright as it can
And fills up my lungs and swells my glands
and ever since, I smile whenever you hold my hand

I still remember the day we first kissed
The fire in your eyes and the taste of your lips
The way all my organs burst with happiness
The way my hand shook when I touched your fingertips
And all the death and the hurt and the shit
Just seemed to disappear and cease to exist
And the only thing that mattered was the rubbing of our hips
I sort of thought I knew what love really is:

When a person erases your sadness
When you can finally smile without faking it
When someone helps you and says
The world's all fucked up
but it'll be okay

It'll be okay.
