Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face
And said I just don't care?

And it's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg
The sun before the burn
The thunder before the lightning
Breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?

Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
You're whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?

It's only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table
The walk before the run
The breath before the kiss
And the fear before the flames
Have you ever felt this way?

La la la la la la la la

There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee
Calling me sugar
You called me sugar

Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself
Will it ever get better than tonight?
Tonight

    i think that this song is about those life defining moments of your life that make you who you are, those moments that make you glad to be alive. doing something and looking back without any regrets. it's about wanting to be loved. it's about wanting time to never end, loving someone and being loved back. it's about trust, companionship and closeness, and reaching out to those around you, and how that can just make you feel like you "just don't care" "the thunder before the lightning" represents the seconds of doubt/worry before a defining moment and just having the guts to do it... "there you are sitting in my garden, clutching my coffee, calling me sugar" for me, represents that after taking the risk to reach out to someone, they may reach out to you too, and become part of your life, like you had never been apart, and now they are casually sitting in your garden sharing your coffee... this song makes you think twice about everyone around you and how much they mean to you. maybe i'm crazy, i've never done anything like this before! but i think that summarises the power of this song ;)
