Mar 2015
She claims to be bad at expressing feelings but I’m numb
Hardly a subtle
Gesture of interest in the form of touch
And mixed up with words the sound uncertain
Right now you’re like “I’m not sure how I feel”
And I’m “if I speak it’ll get worse”

I’m a day late and a brain short
There’s too many thought I need to sort
So  I write them right here
So there fresh in my mind

Come here
We have nothing but time
Come hear
The song of the lives of the dead
Come, don’t walk, run
Come away with me

I always give up before you give in
Get off lights out
Lights flash
It’s make or break, hello goodbye

I’m a day late and a brain short
There’s too many thought I need to sort
So I write them right here
So there fresh in my mind

When will you give me the place and time?
When it’s convenient for me to profess my love?


Come here
We have nothing but time
Come hear
The song of the lives  of the dead
Come, don’t walk, run
Come away with me

When will you give me the place and time?
When its convenient for me to profess my love?
I know how you really feel but I’m not sure what’s wrong with me

Come here
We have nothing but time
Come hear
The song of the lives  of the dead
Come, don’t walk, run
Come away with me
