inside my skin, there is this place
it twits and turns, it bleed and aches.
Inside my heart, there's an empty room,
It's waiting for lightning, it's waiting for you,
and I am wanting
I am needing you here
inside the absence, of fear.
Muscle and sinew, Velvet and stone,
this vessel is haunted it creaks and moans.
My bones call to you in thier seperate skin
I make myself translucent to let you in for,
I am wanting
I am needing you here inside the absence of fear
there is this hunger- this restlesness inside of me and it knows that you're no stranger
You're my gravity.
My hands will adore you through all darkness aim
they will lay you out in the moonlight
and re-invent your name
for
I am wanting
I am needing you here, I need you near, inside the absence of fear.
TADA!
Now, I know it well. It was me and my husband's wedding song. (pause for the "aww's")
And I disagree with Rachybabyheartyou (pause to smack forehead at thought of the name) Jewel is a self-procclaimed wiccan. She is not a christian, and yes- she is spiritual...but this song was about love. Earthly, human, romantic love...oh that and desire.
She is speaking of the place inside herself where she lets her defenses down and gives in to loving and being loved completely. It's a hard place to get to, for anyone who's been there. It's a song of beautiful verse and phrasing.
ok. this is really bugging me... the lyrics ARE:
