I laid a kiss upon your forehead that night
We laid awake and you wondered why I’d said
“I’d never felt a kiss quite like this before”
You said “a kiss is a kiss”
But it was never like this before
Oh k, oh k, oh k

I laid my head upon your chest in the dark
You said to me that if it’s only a spark
That can grow to be the nucleus of flame
Well than a flicker in the dark
Will start a good fire all the same
Oh k, oh k, oh k

I’d never met a girl who thinks the way that I do
About the better things
Like the reflection of the moon
Or the mortality of fire
And the distance of a star and us
Oh k, oh k, oh k

I lay my thoughts upon you in the dark
I lay beside you and listen to your heart beat
Rippling the water on the lake and the stars
Night sky, bright sparks
Oh k, oh k, oh k

I’d never met a girl who thinks the way that I do
About the better things
And the reflection of the moon
Or the anatomy of fire
Or the distance of a star and us
We’ll never be alone
As long as we survive
Separated by the miles
Far across the land
And on a distant shore there’s us
Oh k, oh k, oh k
