Tonight In Belfast (Edit)

Tonight, I just wanna paint pictures of you

Write poems and songs and novels all about you

I wanna hold you up so high, you're gonna need a space suit

I wanna walk down the avenues and streets of this town with you by my side

Wake up with you every morning after falling asleep with you every night

I'm gonna carve your profile into the side of rocky mountain sides

And write your name across an empty beach at low tide in letters four feet deep and ten feet wide

I love to speak your name aloud

Simply because I love its sound

And it feels like like I'm kind of callin' you

It feels like I'm kind of talkin' to you

It feels like I'm trying to break through

Do you know? Across this divide

'Cause we live such separate lives

And all the miles and miles and miles and miles and miles of divide

And I'm usually at the end of some phone late at night or looking for Wi-Fi

I'll tell you what

Let's slip behind the confines of this world

Let's forget every single thing we've learned

Let's rewrite the way this world does turn

Let's rewrite life rule books

With new eyes, new mind, find new life and new time for our lives

And all the things that we find divine

Remap and reshape the context of each day

And redesign and redefine our lives and our time

We can build new mountains for us to climb

And when we reach the top

We will count all we own and all we built and all that we survey

We'd happily give it all away

Because we have each othe and we have love today
