about

A love song that looks beyond the bounds of mononormativity and pushes back against love being expressed in the same way we speak of property.

lyrics

Intro
[“Everywhere we learn that love is important, and yet we are bombarded by its failure [...] This bleak picture in no way alters the nature of our longing [...] We still hope that love will prevail. We still believe in love’s promise.”
“Love is an act of will, both an intention and an action.”] - From 'All About Love' by Bell Hooks

Verse:
No, you’re not mine, little darling
And I’m not yours
No, you’re not mine, little darling
We are each our own
You showed me love
It’s in the palms of your hands
Still you’re not mine, little darling
We are each our own
Come lay me down
I’ll give you all that I am
Still I’m not yours, little darling
Coz we are each our own

Chorus
And what a beautiful thing
Yeah what a beautiful thing (oh)

Verse:
No you’re not mine, little darling
And I’m not yours
No you’re not mine, little darling
We are each our own

Chorus
And what a beautiful thing
Yeah what a beautiful thing (oh)

Outro:
No, you’re not mine
And I’m not yours
No, you’re not mine
We are each our own
