Unromantic Atheism?

[Thumpalumpacus]

Found it. Parentheses are background vocals:

---

I know damn well what I ought to feel
even as I'm compelled to ignore the thought.
Canyons aren't leapt one step at a time --
My heart want to jump, but my mind's glued to the spot.

Let it go (jumping can be fun)
Let it go (don't think you can't get across)
Make your move (you'll never know what you can't do)
It's a leap of faith (if you forget all that you've lost)

Don't give me this line 'bout "not knowing what to feel" --
Just be real and let the days take care of themselves.
But no, you'd rather map it all out, snap it all out
like this is some sort of open-book test.

Let it go (don't be afraid now, baby)
Let it go (don't you dare test the waters)
It ain't Mission Control (stop the countdown)
Love is life's rebellious daughter.

Chase the stars (don't let their distance ward you off)
Embrace the day (do not take counsel in your fears)
Sing to me (with your delirious delight)
Cleave to me (we might just leap across the years)

I don't know if I was writing this to her, or to myself -- or probably both.  But I guess it sums up my views on romance -- it's all a gamble, and losing sucks, but not playing is a sure way of never winning.

Thump...you're a hell of a talented writer, man. 
That's a very touching song. Beautiful.

I bet you have to beat 'em with a stick don't you? Don't lie.

Shit, I couldn't get laid in a whorehouse with a fistfull of roofies.

But thank you much for the kind words, ma'am.
