Your Love Repays My Debts

I’ve known all sorts of people
I’ve said all kinds of things
I’ve disappointed many
Kept them waiting in the wings

I’ve asked myself what benefits a real connection brings

I had a dream about you
We were walking in a store
Felt a strange disorientation
Like we’d both been there before

Some things are just impossible to replicate, for sure

Here’s to new relationships
Down with old regrets
Every day, you clean my soul
Your love repays my debts

Here’s to new relationships
Down with old regrets
Every day, you clean my soul
Your love repays my debts

When I hug you tight,
It’s like my heart is breaking
Love like a rock –
No posturing or faking
This dream can live
After the point of fitful waking
I’m a child and a man
All freshly-birthed and shaking

Reason killed the matador:
The burden of the sport
There’s some proven miracles
Cold logic can’t support

Here’s to new relationships
Down with old regrets
Every day, you clean my soul
Your love repays my debts.
