The Meaning (Radio Edit)

There's a woman here who loves you

She is learning what that means

There's a new way that she buzzes with anticipation

To learn with you a different way to be

And it's been a long time coming

'Cause boy do old habits die hard

You had to pop into her periphery like you did

'Cause she's been flying steady for so long on that same old canard

When I tell you that I love you

It's a promise, not a feeling

It's a floor and not a ceiling

She who tells you that she loves you

Has put the time in to learn the meaning

She is planting seeds in April

She will harvest when it's due

She knows enough to know she cannot know the outcome

It's a different kind of knowing what to do

You will know where you are going

When you're not afraid to say

Enfold the doing in the undergoing

And sing all along the way

One thing I can tell you

We've really started something

Yeah, we've really started something

When we finally get that something

We know the price we pay

When I tell you that I love you

It's a promise, not a feeling

It's a floor and not a ceiling

She who tells you that she loves you

Has put the time in to learn the meaning

Has put the time in to learn the meaning

She knows the moment exhausts the meaning
