bigger than love

it's bigger than love

brighter than all the stars combined

it's dwarfing the sun

burning within my heart and mind

i live with my memories

the bustling fervor of new york

where on 59th street we quarreled and broke the bathroom door

'cause you were just drinking 'til you could hardly see

oh how much i loved you but i couldn't bring myself to leave

it's bigger than love

brighter than all the stars combined

it's dwarfing the sun

burning within my heart and mind

our summers in paris

the seine overflowing with champagne

and i knew you stepped out but you knew that i had done the same

and we had a child there but we couldn't raise her on our own

so our house got crowded and i'd never felt so all alone

it's bigger than love

brighter than all the stars combined

it's dwarfing the sun

burning within my heart and mind

it's bigger than love

brighter than all the stars combined

it's dwarfing the sun

burning within my heart and mind

stranded in asheville failing to fix a broken head

you're in california doing the work of lesser men

oh what of our daughter

oh what of the love that we once shared?

it's living inside us battered but not beyond repair

our fate decreed

a singularity

a solemn tune

i play at night and dance around the room

it's bigger than love

brighter than all the stars combined

it's dwarfing the sun

burning within my heart and mind

it's bigger than love

brighter than all the stars combined

it's dwarfing the sun

burning within my heart and mind
