Glitter in the Air

This is more for my sweet husband than anything else, but I'll let you all in on our romance for a bit.

I love Pink's song "Glitter in the Air".  It is different than her usually creepy punky self, which I love musically, but weirds me out on video.  This is fresh, and beautiful, and even when she sang it at the Grammys, it was artistic and boundary pushing, but not freaky.  Since it's my current jam, I'll post lyrics.

Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Closed your eyes and trusted, just trusted?
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face and said "I just don't care"?

It's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg
The sun before the burn
It's the thunder before the lightning
The breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?

Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
Your whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently, you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?

It's only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table
The walk before the run
It's the breath before the kiss
And the fear before the flames
Have you ever felt this way?

La la la la
La la la la

There you are, sitting in my garden
Clutching my coffee, calling me sugar
You called me sugar

Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight?
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself will it ever get better than tonight?
Tonight
