Dragging across the concrete
Wondering when I would finally stop running
Tired from a hellish nightmare
Living among a dead you
Fighting to stay alive
Fighting to try to stay alive
Moving in the dead of night
To find shelter from the winter madness
To find a temporary home
Away from you
I took cold comfort in knowing distance

Your love keeps me going
For too long I've been so strong
Unwavering faith held me straight
Now it's time for me to break
And fall out of love with you
And into someone new

Waves wash over me
Cleaning me of my sins
Drowning in a sea of eternal love
Reaching up to touch the light
Embracing the warmth of the love
Dancing in the water
Smiling
Falling into an ocean
Falling into the strongest of arms
Falling
Into happiness

I used to know a boy
Before I gave him up
I've no idea where he's run off to
Far away I hope
Not from the world
Not from monsters
But from me, into the arms of others

I once knew a boy
Who showed me colors
Opened my eyes
Opened my heart
Opened up a new world to see
I once gave up a boy
For all others to see as I saw

Money makes me greedy
I do not like to give
But do it anyway
I lust after luxurious items
Knowing I can never attain them
I am not loving
But I crave romance from Paris
I am American
And I take my freedom for granted
And when I lose it
I fight for it
I work hard
Only for dollars to slip through my fingers

I know You not in churches
But in the stillness of time
People say You are imaginary
It is okay
I feel imaginary too
A prayer uttered is not always heard
That is okay too
Because You and I know
It is for me to listen to my plea
And for me to answer myself
It is okay
For me to believe in You
And for You to simply exist
As the wind, the sun, the grass
It is okay
Because I feel love
Wherever I go

I feel the night fading away
Will you be carried away
In the winds that blow fiercely
Swept away to unknown lands
Shall I stay swaying
Swaying to a gentle breeze that never uproots me
Will you be carried away
By my loving words

You're wondering all alone
Walking among shadows
Hiding behind trees, living in fear

You're scared
Trying to find someone, anyone
To be your savior

Sophia
When we find you
You're not yourself

I've got the music up
I've got the lights turned down
I've got the sound of you
Forever in my heart

Count the days until you are mine once again
Who knows when the dance will begin again
Two weeks without your voice
Seems like a lifetime

Wishing time would pass by
Just so I can be in your embrace
To hear your words charm me
Let me fall into you

I count the days until I can see you once again
Wishing time would fast forward
Waiting for the day you come back to me
Count the days until I am yours

You showed me I could create such beauty
I wondered when that would fade away
I want it to stay this way

You held my hand a moon ago
As we fell asleep side by side
I want it to stay like this

You taught me how to swim in mighty rivers
Even though I was scared of diving in

You make me feel love
I wondered how long it could last
I want it to stay this way

You told me not to feel the pain when you left
I wondered when time could bring you back to me
I want you to stay with me

You came crashing and went running
And I wondered how can it stay this way

If only I had known
You were leaving for an eternity
What would I do
To keep myself from thinking about you

Only you could break me down
Wear me out
Take apart a fragile heart
And piece me together
