YOU KNOW WHO I AM

I cannot follow you my love
you cannot follow me
I am the distance you put between
all of the moments that we will be

sometimes I need you naked
sometimes I need you wild
I need you to carry my children in
and I need you to kill a child

if you should ever track me down
I will surrender there
and I'll leave with you one broken man
whom I will teach you to repair

you know who I am
you've stared at the sun
well I am the one who loves changing from nothing to one
