...
the odds are there to beat,
you,
win a while, and then
it’s done –
your little winning streak
and summoned now to deal
with your invincible defeat,
you live your life as if it’s real,
a thousand kisses deep ...

...
and maybe I had miles to drive,
and promises to keep
you ditch it all to stay alive
a thousand kisses deep ...

and sometimes
when the night is slow,
the wretched and the meek,
we
gather up our hearts
and go
A Thousand Kisses Deep ...
