Awaken Love
Lacey Sturm Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Oh, would you please take me away? I don′t wanna stay too late
There's vertigo in my soul at your name
Apprehension in my skin
But the love letters you left are like a ribbon lacing through my chest

Would you take? Come and break
Multiply, open my eyes
′Til we're standing face to face

Awaken love's exclusive one

Love lingers like blood on my tongue, still honey in my mouth
Fragrant in my songs, spreading out like the dawn
Beauty only you gavе to me, a wedding dress you made
I′m yours to hidе away, I′m yours, all yours to display

Would you take? Come and break
Multiply, open my eyes
'Til we′re standing face to face
Awaken love's exclusive one

Always searching, asking that everywhere
Looking for the one to love, that every dream come true is made of
And I heard the whisper of your name, and just the mention makes me faint
I fall in under your embrace

And your fragrance, filling me with life
My racing heart so safe with you, they can′t take me away from you
And they told me I couldn't find you here, but here you are to prove them wrong
And I will sing your song of all songs, all songs

Come and take, come and break
Multiply, open my eyes

To this one flesh, drinking it
My only love′s exclusive one
