GIVE AND TAKE
(Hali Hammer)

We can share that electric spark when our eyes speak their magic
We can linger in longing arms when the feelings come
We can thrill with a passion bold if there’s no need to take control
And I will show you my soul, but I will not let go my freedom

We are writing a new love song and just learning to play it
We can sing such sweet harmony, words can’t even contain it
But there are other songs that we’ve known
And some we might want to sing alone
Or in another place of our own without need to explain it

There’s times you’re with me, but I don’t want all of your time
Your thoughts are with me, but I also have thoughts of mine
And though I find that I might be missing you tonight
as I turn off the lights alone
I still need the grace of the path that I walk on my own

I will gladly let you drink from my well of emotion
If you don’t need to drain me dry, for I am not an ocean
But if we love and can still be free, then we might share an eternity
Even if times we’re not meant ot be within range of devotion

There’s times you’re with me, but I don’t want all of your time
Your thoughts are with me, but I also have thoughts of mine
And though I find that I might be missing you tonight
as I turn off the lights alone
I still need the grace of the path that I walk on my own
Yes, I need the grace of the path that I walk on my own.
