Were we ready, who’s to say the answer? 
Who is ever ready for these things? 
No one could prepare us for the laughter 
No one could prepare us for the pain 

You feel like burning embers 
You feel like coming home 
You feel like my forever 
And that’s all I need/want/have to know 

Every night I ask for your forgiveness 
In grown up skin I still act like a child 
I can make believe that I am flawless 
You’re close enough to see the cracks I hide 

You have caused me tears of joy relentless 
I cannot now imagine life without 
I owe you more than humble words could confess 
I love you more than I even know how 

You feel like burning embers 
You feel like coming home 
You feel like my forever 
And that’s all I need to know 

You feel like Christmas morning 
You feel like summer rain 
You feel like holy waters 
That rinse away my stains 

You feel like children singing 
You feel like midnight calm 
You feel like breathing deeply 
Until the storm is gone
