Iris
Reb Fountain Lyrics

Lord my body is aching
Feeling the pain in my body as a result of being hurt emotionally

We drank wine like it was endless summer
Drinking wine during the beautiful summer time

Nights spent with you by my side
Being together in beautiful nights

I could pretend you'd always be my lover
Believing that we will always be together as lovers

When you said I was your Venus you lied
Doubting the words of my lover

A look for the taking
Wanting someone's attention

Close enough to see me in your eyes
Being so close to someone that I can see myself in their eyes

Love was only ever framed
Realizing that love was just an illusion

Iris
Name of the person being addressed and/or symbolizing love

What's in your heart that you dare not speak of love
Questioning if the person truly loves me

Baby you were my uranium
Comparing my love to the destructive power of uranium

Slow dance first kiss tell me where you hide this love
Wondering where the love between us has gone

I ache for the tasting
Longing for the feeling of love again

I know this love gets around
Knowing that the love between us is not exclusive

It haunts you till your hearts been found out
The love between us will continue to haunt us until we confront it

Love or the lack of it
Questioning if love truly exists between us

You look so hard that I can't stare back
Feeling uncomfortable with the intense scrutiny of my lover

Iris hold me for a minute
Asking for comfort from the person being addressed

Iris never seen nor heard
The person being addressed is elusive and difficult to understand

Take cover call me up it's four in the morning just because
Calling my lover at any hour for comfort

I got my eye on you I shouldn't be looking
Feeling guilty for still desiring my lover

Want me like a fix it's frightening threw down words like they were lightening
Desiring love from my lover like a drug and feeling scared of it

I could be reaching all my life when we were kids I closed my eyes
Remembering a time where love was easier and more innocent

We put the fire out when we speak our silence
Losing the passion in our relationship

Blinded by the sight of love and violence
Being overwhelmed by the intense emotions of love and the possibility of it turning violent

We costume rebellion vote with our hearts
Rejecting societal norms and following our hearts in love

Quiet a doubt with a duet
Singing together to soothe our doubts about love

We've got a love that the world can't take away
Believing that our love is strong and not affected by external forces

Heroes we are not
Realizing that we are not superhuman and vulnerable to pain

Our maps diverged and were lost
Our paths in life have branched off and we have lost each other

We missed the signs and we paid the cost
We did not see the warning signs of our love fading and now must deal with the consequences

What do you do with the mad that you feel
Asking how to handle the overwhelming emotions of love

What is essential is invisible
Focusing on what is truly important in love

We dare to be ourselves
Being true to ourselves in love
