without the root, you ain't got no tree
and without the branches, you aint got no leaves
to understand her is to understand me
cause thats how close we are
without a sea you ain't got no air
and it ain't no walking if you aint got the legs
understand i use them eyes to see
that's how close we are
|chorus|
heart to heart
breath to breath
she feels me up til there aint none left
no space, no time
her spirits my mind
you see, that's how close we are
thats how close we are (x2)
without the stars, there's no galaxy
and without the river, you dont have no sea
just look at my life, and ITS HER you'll see
cause thats how close we are
and without a voice no one could hear you sing
and it ain't no flying without the wings
so when you see me flying
it's her carrying me
that's how close we are
-chorus-
|breakdown|
she talks with me
she walks with me
she's holding me
and yes, shes teaching me
everything i can't do
everything i can't say
she does for me
she prays with me
she cries with me
she's loving me
nothing could compare to the love we share
so that woman and man
who understands
you can say:
heart to heart
breath to breath
she feels me up til there ain't none left
no space, no time
her spirits my mind
you see, that's how close we are
thats how close we are (x11)
