For all those matchmaker types out there - a song about the struggle when a relationship you care about doesn't go to plan.

lyrics

You've been my compass, proof of everything
What the struggle means
Other people set us free, in spite of all
Always speaking to my soul, your love
Strong against the sun
Bold and as one, in spite of all.

Fingers on the rift’s edge
Fingers in my ears
Hands tight in each of mine
Don’t want to know

Stop I
Have no other place for all this pride
Have to learn to know
Not always gonna conquer - why?
I don’t know why
Yours is mine
Don’t know why
Why this match is life

Teach me to love, no proof of everything
Knowing what the struggle means
Souls are set free, in spite of all.
Always singing in my soul, your love
Strong against the sun
Bold even alone, you gave your all.

Had to touch the rift’s edge
Stop closing my ears
Squeeze hands in each of mine
I had to know

Faith, unkind, says never let go
If I cannot see you, how will I know?
How will I believe if you don’t show?
Hold my truth together for me.

Tripping on the rift’s edge
Met with all my fears
Held hands in each of mine
And now I know

Still I
Have no other place for all this pride
Had to learn to know
Not always gonna conquer
And I - I don't know why
Like shattered glass in my mind
I don't know why
This match is life
