about

Just Before is an emotive ballad about the fragility of love.

lyrics

JUST BEOFRE

Right here
I stand before you naked in awe
I wonder what this thing that I’m feeling is called
Being in a storm
River rain beats down
Like a baby covered in motherly touch
Tender and alive
A feeling like I’ve
Never known

As I’m watching you undress
Something of me left
A feeling under my skin
I know I won’t name
A little highly strung
I fill an empty space
I don’t wanna break this state just in case
Oh this feeling is lost
hangs on a thread
Fragile and golden

Here nothing is as strong
As the moment just before
Love comes along
Nothing is as pure
As that moment
Just before

It’s as pure as the driven snow
Indian summers they come and go
But I will be true
Right here with you
Loving you up
Happily frozen

Here nothing is as strong
As the moment
Just before
Love comes along
Nothing is as pure
As that moment
Just before
Love comes along
Nothing is as strong
As the moment just before
Love comes along
Nothing quite as pure
As the moment
Just before love
