Now Go Make That Useful Too

The day after magic I found myself on your couch Reading that book Id been trying to finish While you were on your bed Recharging in the sun Like a lizard And I can't resist rhyming that with wizard Even though I know you're a witch Which Is clearly different But I digress Last night I learned That the ball of emotion in my chest Was my heart trying its best To put me to the test Wouldn't let me rest 'Till I let out all the best Parts of me And as I finished the last page In tears The book told me "Now go make that useful too" So teary eyed I walked to you And embraced you 'Cause you made my chest my home A home where hugs are walls And head scratches are beds And our fingers intertwined can form a roof While our voices carry up through it And our bodies In embrace Is the warmth that'll let us face The cold of the winter And anyone who'll hinder Our happiness, our magic 'Cause learning magic Is learning to make love useful So trying to love is Magically useful And usefully magic 'Cause when you realise most of your pain Is love in disguise Look at the skies Let it in Give it a name Call it love And make that pain Useful again I've been asking the universe for clues on how to write this album I tried drugs and the pain and the rain Being Abel Being Cain But you turned my world magic And I find myself just writing poetry about that one night Over and over again Hoping against hope I'll get somewhere new That I'll find it Or me Or her Or some clue And when I open my eyes I'm right here with you The only place I feel true The only place I can rest Where I feel at home in my chest Remember Life is about the lives we touch And it's about the things we feel And about the people we keep And the people who keep you So take all your love and pain and fear and hurt And now Go and make that useful too
