Lyrics: Beth Orton
Music: Beth Orton
I'm invincible as grief
Violent as a blade of spring released
Ecstatic as a mother's love
Tearing through the ground to the sky above
I sing in choirs of the gods
Every time I think of what got lost
I'm euphoric as a war
When I know who it is I'm fighting for
And darling, I could cry
Don't ever even doubt the reason why
When love is the only certainty there is
Remember at your sister's house
We laughed so hard we nearly pissed ourselves
Remember when I thought it would never change
And you kissed me and I knew what I was for
And it wiped me out like chalk off of a board
Yeah, you kissed me and I knew what I was for
And it wiped me out like chalk off of a board
I'm invincible as grief
Dancing 'cross a lake of loss beneath
My capacity for joy
Is ready and is able and is loyal
I don't know how it is we lived
I guess I thought we had something to give
I sing in choirs of the gods
Every time I find what had got lost
Yeah, life is its own absolution
And all thinking never reaches a conclusion
I'm invincible as grief
And violent as a blade of spring released
Darling, I could cry
Don't ever even doubt the reason why
When love is the only certainty there is
Remember when we hitched that ride
Dancing in the full beam light
Remember when I thought that I could change
And you kissed me like you knew what I was for
And it wiped me out like chalk off of a board
Yeah, you kissed me and I knew what I was for
And it wiped me out like chalk off of a board
I'm invincible as hope
Dancing 'cross a lake of loss below
Ecstatic as a mother's love
Tearing through the sky to the ground above
Come on, kiss me like you know what I am for
Let it wipe me out like chalk off of a board
Come on, kiss me like you know what I am for
Let it wipe you out like chalk off of a board
Let it wipe you out
Let it knock you down
Let it bring you 'round
Let it pull you down
Let it find you out
Let it find you out
Come on, lift me higher
I want to touch the sky
Come on, wipe me out
Come on, wipe me out
