Lyrics and translation

Original

I'm invincible as grief

Violent as a blade of spring released

Ecstatic as a mother's love

Tearing through the ground to the sky above

I sing in choirs of the gods

Every time I think of what got lost

I'm euphoric as a war

When I know who it is I'm fighting for

And darling I could cry

Don't ever even doubt the reason why

When love is the only certainty there is

Remember at your sister's house

We laughed so hard we nearly pissed ourselves

Remember when I thought it would never change

And you kissed me and I knew what I was for

And it wiped me out like chalk off of a board

And you kissed me and I knew what I was for

And it wiped me out like chalk off of a board

I'm invincible as grief

Dancing cross a lake of loss beneath

My capacity for joy

Is ready and is able and is loyal

I don't know how it is we lived

I guess I thought we had something to give

I sing in choirs of the gods

Every time I find what had got lost

Yeah life is its own absolution

All that thinking never reaches a conclusion

I'm invincible as grief

Violent as a blade of spring released

Darling I could cry

Don't ever even doubt the reason why

When love is the only certainty there is

Remember when we hitched that ride

Dancing in the full beam light

Remember when I thought that I could change

And you kissed me like you knew what I was for

And it wiped me out like chalk off of a board

Yeah you kissed me and I knew what I was for

And it wiped me out like chalk off of a board

I'm invincible as hope

Dancing 'cross a lake of loss below

Ecstatic as a mother's love

Tearing through the sky to the ground above

Come on, kiss me like you know what I am for

Let it wipe me out like chalk off of a board

Come on, kiss me like you know what I am for

Let it wipe you out like chalk off of a board

Let it wipe you out

Let it knock you down

Let it bring you round

Let it pull you down

Let it find you out

Let it find you out

Come on lift me higher

I want to touch the sky

Come on wipe me out

Come on wipe me out
