Right Where It Belongs

I tumbled beautifully through the air Pirouetting in this downward spiral Knowing I had a target to land on Instinct and premonition were my guides The warm embrace of my perfect memories weren't there to catch me as I'd hoped Instead, I plunged headfirst into a warm pool Simultaneously, I felt happy and scared So warm, yet shivering I twisted around to take it in And there you were You belonged to someone else The person I called my closest friend But you weren't satisfied And all three of us knew it Smiling underwater, you reached your hand out Whirlpools opened around us as I took your hand It was odd, but I knew it was right After all, I'd done something like this before His chains were cut and I carried them instead My instinct was to cut them again and run Yet every chance I had, I avoided The chains vanished, yet I remained The trials and troubles never mattered Somehow, it always worked The ocean we traversed turned ever warmer As we grew ever closer When I was a broken man You were there for me And you put my heart Right where it belongs.
