Eclipse
Nujabes (feat. Substantial) Lyrics

This is for the things I don't say enough,
I have difficulty expressing my feelings, but this song is my way of conveying my love to you

Waiting for the day we touch
I miss you dearly and long for the moment when we can be together again

Your lips to mine eclipse solar lunar
When we kiss, it feels like the sun and moon align and time stands still

I'll see you soon but I'll talk to you sooner
Although I can't be with you physically right now, I'll make sure to keep in constant contact with you until we're reunited

Do you honestly believe I'd turn my back on you and leave my true love all alone in this cruel world?
I would never abandon you, my love, and I'll do my best to protect and provide for you

When every single solitary day I do my best to secure a future for me and you girl
I'm working hard every day to build a life with you and make our dreams a reality

Seconds feel like millenniums when I'm without you,
Being away from you is agonizing, and every moment feels like an eternity

But my momma said there be days like this and ain't jack we can do that's the way life is.
Sometimes life is tough, and all we can do is try to endure the hardships together

But it's been weeks since I felt your lips and I'm a fiend for my queen so I need a fix,
Not being able to kiss you for so long is unbearable, and I crave your affection like an addict

Only for now I'll settle for these talks on the phone,
Until we can be together again, I'll make do with frequent phone conversations to stay connected

But I cut my arm off for a moment alone,
I'm so desperate to be with you that I'd even endure physical pain to have a moment of intimacy

With the one that I cherish whether in Rome or Paris, Amsterdam or Japan,
I love you no matter where we are, and I'll always cherish our time together

Please note that I am thinkin' bout my baby as much as humanly possible,
You're always on my mind, and I think about you constantly

An' I know you're frustrated cause life has too many obstacles
I understand that life can be difficult, and I'm here to support you through any challenges we may face

My dear my dear my dear I know you're lonely
I understand that being apart from each other is lonely and difficult

An' I know very well that it's hard and it hurts but there's no need to cry,
I empathize with your pain, but I'll be there soon to comfort you

Cause I will be home soon and there ain't no limit to the things that we goin' do,
Once we're together again, we'll have plenty of time to enjoy each other's company and do everything we've been missing

Whatever you want name it and I'll make it reality,
I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy and fulfill your desires

To see my baby's face nothin' means more then that for me.
Seeing you smile and being with you is the most valuable thing in the world to me

This is far from flattery I ain't trying to impress you,
I'm not saying these things to impress you, but rather to express my genuine love for you

truth is I miss you and I'm hurtin' internally,
The truth is that I miss you deeply and it's painful to be away from you

Sometimes these long trips feel like eternity,
Being away from you for extended periods of time feels like an eternity

But they say distance makes the heart grow fonder,
Being apart from each other intensifies our love and appreciation for one another

And in this case it's proven to be fact,
Our separation has only strengthened our love for each other

So I'll be back like a T100.
I'll return to you as soon as possible, like a machine with unwavering determination

From blocks away you will see me comin',
I'll be so excited and eager to see you that you'll spot me from far away

With the biggest smile you ever seen on my face,
I'll be grinning ear to ear when I finally get to be with you again

Cause even the toughest man on the planet needs lovin',
I may be strong and tough, but I still need love and affection just like anyone else

There's nothin' tame the wild like a woman's embrace.
Being held in your arms is the most comforting and calming thing in the world to me

Feels like it's been forever and I can't wait to see ya,
Being apart from you has felt like an eternity, and I'm counting down the minutes until we're reunited

It's like wit' Bonnie and Clyde, Tony and Maria, Romeo and Juliet, Akeem, Alicia.
Our love is timeless and passionate, like the famous couples throughout history

Basically inseparable and it's more then sexual.
Our bond goes beyond physical attraction, and we're emotionally connected in a deep, meaningful way

Withstand every shell Tell me don't you like the sound of that?
Together, we can withstand any obstacle and come out stronger on the other side

Got my heart racing an about to have a heart attack
Thinking about you and our love makes my heart beat faster and fills me with excitement and anticipation

Wantin' to be loved by you just you.
All I want is to be loved by you and no one else

Theres nobody loves you like I do
My love for you is unique and unmatched, and I truly believe no one else could love you as much as I do

And I ain't scared to show it
I'm not afraid to express my love for you and show you how much you mean to me

but these feelings are hard to put into words
Sometimes my love for you is too intense to express in words

and I'm a poet slash MC
As a poet and musician, I use my art to express my love for you

So give me credit for expressing them
I hope you appreciate my efforts to express my love for you through my music and poetry

because writin' this was more nervous then I ever been
Writing this song was nerve-wracking for me because of how much I care about you and your reaction to it

I had to get it out for when I'm unable to sit wit' you,
I wrote this song to express my love for you when I'm not able to express it in person

You have a little song that I wrote for you to listen to,
I hope this song brings you comfort and makes you feel loved and appreciated, even when we're apart

So you know the way that you're missin' me I'm missin you.
I hope this song helps you understand how much I miss you and how much you mean to me

I wanna give you the world but for now I hope this'll do.
I may not be able to give you everything you want right now, but I hope this song is enough to show you how much I love you
