Lyrics

If We Knew...

We would not be so scared of losing hair and slowing down

If we knew that our hearts are not aging

Our little hearts are born already ancient

We would not be so scared to say "I do" and settle down

If we knew that our hearts never come dating

They stay at home for us patiently waiting

We would not be so scared of eating love and lying down

If we knew that mountains would be unveiling

We would not be so scared of being swallowed by the ground

If we knew that greater bodies still were waiting

Dotted lines in the air tomorrow morning
