Becky Kilsby Lyrics

I kissed you under Exmoor skies
Testing your lips for clues
Taking sips of expectation
Tasting ‘maybe’ after ‘one day’
Dare I believe it could be you?

Can I forget that other feeling?
Disentangle from his touch?
I thought he was The One, reeling
Hollow from his leaving. Can I?

Too soon in truth to try again
Just reaching for that happy shot
Of fizzing true - and hot
With longing to belong

Can I forget that feeling?
Can I disentangle from his touch?
I thought he was The One, reeling
Hollow from his leaving. Can I?

Your kiss was first taste, tentative
Curious to know who else
Might fit the space, whose pulse
Could swing along, could help you live

A different hand in mine
Feels alien, an offbeat heat
Our lips not yet in harmony
But wanting to forget
The old rhythm, the off rhyme
Create unseasoned sympathy
Could it be you with me?

Turns out you worked, we blended,
Careful of our hurts it’s true
Shaped three months from broken parts
Defeating ghosts and fractured hearts

So yes disentangle from his touch
Lose that ache, begin to live
We learned to love and to forgive
Cos life comes back through the deepest cuts
Cos life comes back, an offbeat rhyme
In double time, an offbeat rhyme
