Love's Too Familiar a Word 가사

I stepped into the room late last night because late is the time I keep you were sleeping warm as coal in a pocket of comfort and white sheets but you don't startle anymore when I step into the room though the hour is later than midnight and neither window can place a moon. "I missed you," you say and it sounds like a promise when whispered half asleep your skin still damp with sweat from thoughts your dreams refused to keep I follow my memory to a switch on a light "Shut your eyes" my voice cut short when darkness turns bright "Do you love me?" you say but love is too familiar a word for in this bed 10,000 times a phrase already heard but, "Yes, I love you" speaks my reply though I know I failed myself and you for not matching how I feel with words of higher wealth I know its lonely in the world tonight because here is more than what's deserved and the imbalance can't be summed in black and white cause "love's" too familiar a word.
