The Price of a Kiss

I've come to consider at a time like this The cost to a soul of the price of a kiss A futile desire for the simplest twist Of nature's grace and human bliss To crave for a simple emotional lift A gesture or words an encouraging gift Instead to be burdening creating a rift Time makes change the practical shift To dream like a young man With the knowledge of the ages like a stupid anagram Never know just who steps up 'Cause anything can happen Giving back for graces earned Paying forward for lessons learned Giving back for graces earned Paying forward for lessons learned Again I consider the price of a kiss When they are free everywhere and can be had for an ask Can this be discussed with mutual respect Or best set aside for that moment when if Imaginary reality is the kindest routine Insecurity can destroy the strong dreamer's dream Hopeless it would seem to believe that it's real Must carve out time and space to heal To love like a young man The universe guides me Like some fucked up hologram Never know just who'll step up 'Cause anything can happen Giving back for lessons learned Paying forward for graces earned Giving back for lessons learned Paying forward for graces earned To dream like a young man With the knowledge of the ages Like a stupid anagram To love like a young man The universe guides me Like some fucked up hologram Never know just who'll step up 'Cause anything can happen Giving back for graces earned Paying forward for lessons learned Giving back for graces earned Paying forward for lessons learned Giving back for graces earned Paying forward for lessons learned Giving back for graces earned Paying forward for lessons learned Giving back for graces earned Paying forward for lessons learned Giving back for graces earned Paying forward for lessons learned
