Sometimes,
When I lie in bed,
I feel the world spinning beneath me.
Out of my control.
Everything plays out,
And
I can't change it.
I can't change the outcome.
I can't change the facts,
The sad truth of it all.
The fact is,
I'm tired.
I wish my brain would let me sleep at night,
And the tears didn't sting the way they do.
That my heart would stop pounding against my ribs,
Begging to be let free.
I want to break out of this cage,
Of boundaries and lies.
I can't feel you on the other end of the line anymore.
The light in your eyes
Faded long before you said goodbye.
I could feel the energy fade,
And that's what killed me.
Let's fall in love
With eyes open wide;
Walk among childhood memories,
Running up playground slides.
I can ease the tension in your shoulders,
If you can be my brave knight;
And chase away the demons
That come to haunt me at night.
Let's steal each other's shirts,
And fall asleep together.
The landscape of my mind
Stays peaceful next to her.
I wanted to hold you tight,
And protect you from the pain.
I fell in love under grey skies.
Please, dance with me in the rain.
If I could find a way,
To stretch this night into forever;
I would stay.
I would spin so fast the earth would turn with me,
Just so I could feel you hold me
Just so I could still be near you
Just to hear you say
One more time
She lay in bed,
Nestled in sheets and blankets
As each wave of emotion
Passed over her;
Slowly eroding away
The scars and marks,
Footprints left on her heart,
Castles she built to feel safe in.
Like sands changing in the tide.
He looked for something new,
A beautiful treasure to hold his attention,
To forget about those he lost.
Searching for the perfect distraction
To avoid admitting
What he's still holding on to.
I need a distraction
From this pain,
While the waves wash away
The castles I made in the sand
And the footprints he left in my soul.
I need to let go.
You're beautiful,
Can we nestle in blankets and sheets,
A
11 seconds tick by too fast.
49 more go so slow.
I spent all of this wish,
Wishing I didn't have to go.
I spend too much time reading
The books where everything works out.
People spend all their time
Trying to convince me to stop believing
That life has a happy ending.
So call me a little bit cynical,
But sometimes 49 seconds goes by so slow.
I made wishes;
Never believing they would come true.
I thought I knew
Wishing on stars gets you nowhere
And nothing happens when you waste your time dreaming.
Hold me close?
I like those old couples,
That grew old together;
Holding hands
On a porch swing.
Hold me tight.
I love it when
You move closer
And ask me
To stay the night.
Hold me now.
I want to feel;
Your desires
Pressed against mine.
Hold me,
Hold me close,
Hold me tight,
Hold me now;
Just hold me.
There's always a moment
When you feel yourself
Falling deeper;
Into his eyes,
Into her soul.
A balanced mixture
Of longing,
And bliss.
Lingering at the last kiss;
Stealing one more;
Watching him leave;
Locking the door.
I set my feet to the road,
Hoping to lose myself in
A maze of pavement
But I've come back to your door
Is it a coincidence I ended up here?
Can I stay a while, and rest my feet?
Before going out again.
I need to find something;
Maybe I'll come back
To discover you.
My blue bird left, and took my blue skies;
Walking in red shoes, looking around with dark eyes.
You're tall, and handsome, and the future looks dark.
I was going to say "good enough," but you broke this arc.
Sing farewells while playing guitar,
Write sad lines while telling me your mood.
Who knew words had such power,
Over you and over me,
Let's break free.
