Sunday morning rain, together we're all alone again
And I can feel your breath
Beneath the sheets and on my skin
Come closer to me now, forget about the world outside
'Cause I could die right here
So kiss me like we're out of time
We are caught up
Stuck in the middle of our love
Chasing the riddle of what we need
We are all we need
It's your touch, gives me a shiver and a wild rush
Chasing the riddle of what we need
We are all we need
We are all . . .
Come on, do it again
Hold me like you did before
You got me hypnotized
We're all that we've been searching for
I see it in your eyes
And the way you curl your lip and smile
And I could die right here
So kiss me like we're out of time
We are caught up . . .
Your heart is my heart, and my heart is yours . . .
~ Kodaline
So, yeah, it's a love song. You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs. Au contraire . . . we probably need a lot more of them these days. Kodaline, an Irish quartet, released an EP last week in anticipation of their third album coming up next year called I Wouldn't Be. These guys can deliver a passionate love song. If you missed it, give a listen to one of their previous songs, "All I Want." It'll move you.
Chasing the riddle of what we need. I like that idea. A riddle, not a question. Figuring out the answer to a riddle takes ingenuity and an instinct for deciphering the mind of a clever person. So the idea that our purpose here or the understanding of what we need to be whole is a riddle just makes sense to me. And how many of us can figure it out? How many wrong answers do we have to try before we finally reach that deeper understanding? My guess is that it takes a lifetime to solve the riddle.
While I'm not sure the answer is solely found in a singular connection with a partner on a similar journey, it's certainly nice when two can travel that riddled road together.
Speaking of which, my partner and I need to finalize our itinerary for this next road trip adventure. We'll be chasing the riddle through mountains and valleys, taking in the autumn beauty before we're out of time. We don't want to forget about the world outside. We prefer to be a part of it, slow meandering through winding switchbacks, convertible top down, and good music to accompany us on the journey. We are all we need.
