As the moon does the ocean,
molten silver carrying within unspoken intensity,
deliberately, knowing the consequences that’ll follow;
I will love you even if the odds are against me doing so.

Like opposites forever compelled to attract,
secret messages traced along corner of lips,
I will love you even if the odds are against me doing so;
deliberately, knowing the consequences that’ll follow.

With a reassuring eye every scar is surveyed,
why is it that world frowns upon mere idea of eternity,
deliberately, knowing the consequences that’ll follow;
I will love you even if the odds are against me doing so.

Yours is the name that haunts the wind and the trees,
surely such a feeling does not run according to scripts,
I will love you even if the odds are against me doing so;
deliberately, knowing the consequences that’ll follow.

Let it be known, no other gaze by any definition is sweeter,
I am of the opinion that this could be our destiny,
deliberately, knowing the consequences that’ll follow;
I will love you even if the odds are against me doing so.

If only you knew, my heart skips a beat nearly every time,
just thinking about life, its tribulations, its eclipse,
I will love you even if the odds are against me doing so;
deliberately, knowing the consequences that’ll follow.
