“I wanna catch the butterflies you’re feeling
I wanna dance until we can’t no more
I wanna be the alibi you’re needing
I wanna lay beside you on the floor
I wanna be at the exit when you’re leaving
I wanna love you like this forevermore

I wanna take the pink in your complexion
I wanna paint it all over the walls
I wanna take the future you’re expecting
I wanna make it elegantly yours
I wanna find the beauty in the wreckage
I wanna love you like this forevermore

Don’t you let me let you slip out of my hands
In some kind of act of, act of innocence

I wanna bathe in all the tears you’re crying
I wanna make ’em part of my charm
You know I would die trying
Trying to find a space in your arms
I wanna stay beautiful and silent
I wanna love you like this forevermore

I wanna carry all your burdens
I wanna put ’em up on my back
Beside the world I got on my shoulders
But don’t you worry, don’t you worry ’bout that
Just let the light come on in from the curtains
Just let me love you like this forevermore

Don’t you let me let you slip out of my hands
In some kind of act of, act of innocence
Don’t you let me let you let this ever end
In some kind of act of, act of innocence…”

I just think this is probably one of the prettiest love songs ever written and anyhow it’s called “Act of Innocence,” it was created by an indie alternative band from Athy in County Kildare, Ireland called “Picture This” on their recent album Parked Car Conversations. Songwriters are James Joseph Rainsford and Ryan Martin Hennessy. Copywrite 2024 by Universal Music Publishing Ltd.

This entire album is so gorgeous.
