Possessionless Lyrics
All the things that I have collected, stones and shells
Every word and every book up on my shelf
Only form a brief description of myself
But they don't define who I am
I don't think anything can, no
If I stripped away the non-necessities
All the damage, all the mess surrounding me
I don't crave what I have not
I don't need more than I've got
It's just me that I offer up
All I got is my body and it's naked for you
All I got is this heart that I'm willing to lose
I know in this life, I give it everything
All I got is this soul and it's shedding it's clothes
Do you see who I am, now you're standing this close
You know in these arms you're feeling everything
Minding what to give, what to protect
To look into the mirror, though I'm not perfect
It's a work in progress, hasn't finished yet
Want to be transparant, see through
Not gonna hide me from you
All I got is my body and it's naked for you
All I got is this heart that I'm willing to lose
I know in this life I give it everything
All I got is this soul and it's shedding it's clothes
Do you see who I am, now you're standing this close
You know in these arms you're feeling everything
I'm completely undressed but I couldn't care less
I'm standing here possessionless
It's the only true test, when the only thing left
Is a love that is possessionless
(A love that is possessionless)
Is a love that is possessionless
(A love that is possessionless)
I don't crave what I have not
I don't need more than I have got
It's just me that I offer up
All I got is my body and it's naked for you
All I got is this heart that I'm willing to lose
I know in this life, I give it everything
All I got is this soul and it's shedding it's clothes
Do you see who I am, now you're standing this close
You know in these arms you're feeling everything
I'm completely undressed but I couldn't care less
I'm standing here possessionless
It's the only true test, when the only thing left
Is a love that is possessionless
(A love that is possessionless)
Is a love that is possessionless
(A love that is possessionless)

You are kidding me, no one's commented?
Wow.... Such a great song... but very sexually charged compared to her previous stuff...
To me, it's about exposure, vulnerablilty. Like something she had has been taken from her, and now she feels possessionless.
