For Guinevere

With all the years between us
(I know your heart)
You know I'd never lie
Let other people judge us
With all their own assumptions
You know with me you never have to hide

We'll never be those wide-eyed kids who fell in love then
We'll never fit inside those narrow lines again
We could pretend, we could pretend
But that never suited us somehow

Love is endlessly surprising
Too precious to be squandered
I'll always be your lover,
I'll always be your shoulder,
And I don't care how far they say we've wandered.

They think the only road is where they're heading,
But you and I were meant to sail upon the sea.
We could pretend, we could pretend,
But that never suited us somehow.

So trust me now
I'll never weigh you like and anchor.
I hope you'll always see me there inside your sail

I can see you're always worrying
What they'd say if they found out
(If you'd only listen)
It might surprise them
With what this choice is actually about.

We don't apologize for what we share between us
And every day we seem to fall in love again
We could pretend, we could pretend,
We could pretend, we could pretend
But that never suited us somehow

So trust me now.
Trust me now.
Trust me now.
