about love from holding words by honor ash

sitting in the sun outside
feeling lucky to be alive
feeling lucky to know the size
of a heart breaking like the dawn
well-mannered and forlorn

the sky a million colours
but the redness does the talking
whole thing shattered up above us
are you listening when i'm talking
up above
up above
up above

waiting out in the rain
feeling sharp and unafraid
feeling somehow in the way
of the waves breaking on the shore
embarrassed and unsure

the sea sparkles with promise
but the murk holds all the answers
water swells up round our ankles
watch your footing while it asks us
about love
about love
about love

sitting in the sun outside
feeling lucky to be alive
feeling lucky to know the size
of a heart
of a heart
of a heart
of a heart
of a heart
