I swear I've seen you twice
Once was on a train
You sat next to me and asked me my name
You told a man to take his feet off the seat
You were considerate of others and very sweet
You gave me a pin in the shape of an Angel
You said it would keep me safe and that they would follow me wherever I go
You were an old woman
But you're expression was bright
Your ora gave off a luminous light
You were beautiful
You filled my heart with joy
My day had been long
And I had been coy

I saw you again on a mountain
I was night hiking alone
I had to get away
Like the last time you saw me, I'd had a bad day
I went to the mountain praying for death
I cried to the heavens with all the energy I had left
I said to God, set me free, for I have no more faith in me
I was in an open field and across the way I saw something move
It was an animal in the light of the moon
I'm not sure what animal you were
But it looked at me from a distance, that I'm sure

We glared at eachother
I looked you in your glowing eye
And for some reason I no longer wanted to cry
The hole in my heart had somehow been filled
A helper of the Lord had been revealed
I wanted to walk toward you
But I was afraid
I felt death would be a mistake I could have made
I walked the other way
That I regret
You weren't afraid of me
You didn't fret

I believe in you
I know you believe in me
You are beautiful
You brought out the beauty I now see
The world is cruel
Growing up is intense
When you saw me last I was sitting on the fence
Life or death
Hope or dispare
You rescued me
I know you were there.

I watch you through the window's glass,
Running alongside the car

My breath fogs up the image
Like my heart, the place where your face should be has become icy cold
The fog retracts and you're nowhere to be found

Your footsteps, loud and strong in my mind, were a fictional sound

Where are you?
Do we not look at the same moon?
Do you not think the same things I do?
Are our souls not in tune?

I daydream about you all the time
We are cast in a love that is divine

We take bubble baths and drink bottles of wine

All I want is your kisses
All I need is your love
My soul is crying
The tears of a dove

Oh, the aching
Touch me
Let our love be pure
Heaving heart, where is your other half?

Wandering around aimlessly
Searching
Finding false treasures
giving in to guilty pleasures

Where are you now?
Where are you now?

They float like butterflies in the breeze.
Their flutters ping chills upon my skin.
Tenderly they caress my soul.
I know something is about to begin.
Oh heart, never let go. Let all the fears fade away.
Your words still lingering my ears, enrapturing me to this day.

Whisper to me. Churn my mind.
Help me to see that you are mine.
Drift me off on a cloud of love.
The closest thing to the heavens above.

We sway and dance, fingers entwined.
Your ripe lips tango with mine.
You brush my hair from my cheek and smirk the way you do.
Our love unique with all that we've been through.
Tell me the sweet nothing's I'm longing to hear.
I can feel the love in the air.

Whisper to me. Churn my mind.
Help me to see that you are mine.
Drift me off on a cloud of love.
The closest thing to the heavens above.

My soul it sings for you, fingertips searching the wind.
Your voice echoes in my heart. Let our journey begin.

Whisper to me (whisper to me).
Churn my mind. (Soft, elegant whispers in the background).
Help me to see that you are mine.
Drift me off (drift me off) on a cloud I'd love (love, love, love).
The closest thing to the heavens above...

Who inspires us?
Who says its not okay to be wrong?
Why do I have to know what I want out of life right now?
Why is this day so long?

Maybe I want to  be an astronaut
Maybe I want to be a mermaid
Maybe I want to work a job where I don't get paid

What if I want to  sail a pirate ship?
What if I want to panhandle?
What if I want to make my own signature candle?

How can you tell me no?
Who the hell are you to say what I can or can't do?

I'm going crazy
So stressed out
This is not what life was supposed to be about
I wanna travel the world
Find the lost city of Atlantis
I don't like the life I'm living
I didn't plan this

I didn't think my dreams would change
But they did
I can make my own decisions
I'm not a little kid

I may have a child's heart
I may even cry
Hell, there are some days that I wish I could fly

But you're taking my joy
You're crushing my hope
You're sending me down a slippery *****

You push too hard
I know you think you're right
But I need some inspiration
If only just for one night.

One for the encounter
One for the false fame
Two for the shame of loosing at her own game.
One more to make it look pretty.

How did you get those scars?
Better think of something witty.

She watches the hurt ooze out in crimson streams
She bites into the pillow that muffled her screams
Ah, the sting, it brings her pleasure
The rusty smell of blood is something she treasures
Look how each **** lay gracefully upon her thigh
When she gazes upon them she gets a euphoric high

The razor glides smoothly upon her supple skin
That one wasn't deep enough
Better go over it again.

She claws and digs until the hurt in her heart has disappeared
Then she stares at her masterpiece
A poetic type of weird

One day he'll come along
And kiss the scars she's engraved in her skin
Tell her she's beautiful and deserves more than this sin
She'll dig her fingers into his flesh
And get a release that they'll share
She will be his every care

Love will be the only thing that oozes out
And she will finally know what all the fuss was about

My mind is racing
Rambling
Spinning out of control
I cant stop it
Pleasing you was always my goal

I got so confused in my ways
Reversing not only by steps, but by days

When I was young I tried so hard to make everything alright
Always making impulsive decisions but never using spite
As I grew older, my heart started to die
I started to force things and forgot how to cry
To let out all the pain that has ever held me back

All the adults I know still have their pain intact

Where is that light that was once so vivid?
It vanished when we grew older and it has made us livid.

Animals snarling and glaring at one another
Traveling in pacts, but leaving behind fellow brothers

But not you, dear Dan
You have been all that you could be
You lifted my spirits
You had faith in me

I only wish I could see you once more and be proud of where I am
Since you saw me last I have not followed our plan

Day by day you were there to help me see
That the demons I saw in others were just a reflection of the demons that lived in me
You sat by the pond and listened to my soul when words my mind couldn't retrieve
When I lost faith in humanity, your trust made me believe

I'm sorry I turned out just like the last and became worse than ever
I wish I could say that my decisions are more clever
But I cant lie to you Dan
I never could
Although it's not what we had planned
I hope you're doing good.

You say you love me
I don't think you do
You cant love me
You don't know half of what I've been through

I feel bad saying goodbye
But it is something I must say
It would be wrong of me not to tell you
Wrong of me to string you along another day

I know it was I who said I missed you
But I've learned how to be on my own
I cant always depend on you,
Always calling when I feel alone

It's time I grow up
Time I move on
It is I whose been using you all along

I know you've hurt me
But don't beat yourself up
Things wouldn't be any different
It's not "Just your luck."

You are an amazing man
Someday your love will come
But as far as love from me goes
You will get none

So hold your head high
Hold on to your dreams
Reach for the stars
And remember the little things
