Here, not Here.

As soon as the sun kisses the sky

i will follow the scent of a moving wind

take me , take me

here, not here

take me, take me

to the one I will love

pretend the present will vanish and say

go, please go away

as soon as the sun kisses the sky

the wind will pick up

I'll wave good bye

follow the scent of the places i've not been

take me

here, not here

but to the one I will love

soon enough, the stars twinkle

dimming as so...

the moon whispers

go, please...go.

Stuck.

Discover the sheets untouched
what a catastrophe
how one event
could take me far from home
i am alone
focused on focusing
focusing on anything but you
failing miserably
i'm stuck
pretending
the world is interesting
when i know
without you
it doesn't offer much
not a single touch
or kiss before bed
I could do anything but I,
I can't get you out of my head.
You're stuck
I'm stuck
without you again.

Out To Sea

I got caught sailing
without a map, without a doubt
and sure enough I landed
tied my boat and came on in
you were covered in sweat and kind words
rosey cheeks and a beard
it was dusty, it smelled
but I still thought, "I kinda like it here"
i knew before i sailed off
I'd end up some place new
and if i were to follow someones lines
Id have never found a guy like you, you, you
so I made myself at home
blew away the dust and nestled in
you cooked me breakfast in the mornings
washed your sweat, shaved your chin
and i thought as i was chewing
what really braught me here?
then you say, say, say to me, me, me
"I kinda like you here"

If You Were...

If you had wings I'd hide myself underneath them

and go everywhere you'd go

if you'd let me, I would go anywhere

I would travel to your darkest dreams

i'd fight all before me that held you down

I would follow you into the deepest oceans

touch the bottom and smile

Replace your words with air

watch the bubbles form the shape of a heart

race them to the top

If you were a jet plane

I'd make myself the engine

Roar through the skies singing

I am so happy to be your engine

i am so happy to be, any part of you

If you were mine, if you were mine

you'd be mine, all mine

and you're mine

all mine

you said to me

"you can be any part of me you want"

and i want

if you'd let me

I want to be everything..

everything you want me to be.

Throwing Stones

I've made it my

choice to pick up stones

and toss them in the river

Now I am counting stars

wondering which one will fall

so I can watch it burn

I always speak in broken english

but my patterns seem to match

close enough to make you sick

Cough, cough up everything I've said

time has told me truth

I am so sorry, I love you

To think

I may have been wise

it was all a disquise

Hands on a clock can violate

the time it took me to start

realizing, I've lost my spot in your heart

We Are Who They Were

 I pull the shades up

the sun gushes in and I am flooded with warmth

the dust glows like little angles

thousands swarming my darkest place

thousands and not a word from one

Must be all in my head

I put my shoes on , I am ready for a walk

today I am welcome

today I will be every doubt I was yesterday

kick rocks across the road

spin around at a light

smile and breath in, catch up on life

I am so warm today

I've had this feeling inside for some time

I guess the philosophers were right

Time is only time, it's only time

until we become the story told many years ago

our new stories are all old

even when the darkness has been fed

It's all in your head

maybe I am bias to proceed

these brewing thoughts inside of me

that we are all painted with the same pallet 

we are all who they were

I can see the future

I must be some kinda magic

I must be some kinda gift

I must be something special if I can believe such a thing like this

but truth is that I just followed the fossils

As I watched the clouds cleared up like they promised they would do

I just did what they did

You will too

You will too
