There are articles spread across the wall
Buildings in picture displays
Headline says the great escape
And he can't help thinking
Why am I here 
Yeah what do I do

Conflict between his head 

And his heart

He used to draw pictures 

Which he thought was art

Comments said otherwise

They said he should give up

That's when he wished he would just die

Hey, Bae
Hey, Bae
Let's run away to L.A.
Yeah honey
You got big city dreams
And I've got a plan
Let's go catch a plane
And get the hell out of here

He started to write down lines
That sprung from his mind
He was saying things he didn't quite understand
But that's when somebody else said
She said I see what you're saying
And I tend to feel that way to
I've had all these mixed emotions
But I won't give up on you
You got a gift
A way with words
You're a modern day poet
I just think you should know it
That is what she said
And he was thinking

Hey, Bae
Hey, Bae
Let's run away to L.A.
Yeah honey
You got big city dreams
And I've got a plan
Let's go catch a plane
And get the hell out of here

He asked her, what are her future plans?
She said I've always wanted to be an actress
Everyone said I was not good enough
And that I should just give up
He looked deep into her eyes
And said I believe in you
You can achieve anything you want to
She smiled back his way
And said that's the sweetest thing
Anybody has ever said to me
That's the most precious gift
Another person's belief
and he said

Hey, Bae
Hey, Bae
Let's run away to L.A.
Yeah honey
You got big city dreams
And I've got a plan
Let's go catch a plane
And get the hell out of here

Thankful,
every jot and tiddle
Beauty for ashes
contains.
Each burden gifted
Open arms receive.
Master,
tutor life's moments like rain.
Take no prisoners
released shame.
Forgiveness relief
no yoke deceive.
Everyday repeat refrain.
Daily,
freedom moments lifted.
Springs forth joy's sonnet.
A heart full rhyme
sings it's fiddle.
Gratitude,
orchestrates my one desire.
Each step depart
muck from mire.

Sometimes it feels like your a rocket 

traveling at the speed of light

The fire works that burn so bright

Like a comet flying across the skies, 

A burning flame that never dies

And nothing can bring us down 

We're right where we belong 

We've never ever felt so strong

We're right where we belong 

Right where we belong

We got stars in our palms 

Lucky charms on our arms

can't believe we've come this far

Can you see the view?

I believe that you do

Never felt happiness like this

Must be a product of luckiness

I wished, hoped and prayed for so long

that the vision I'd seen 

Would become a reality 

And now I'm starting to see it

Now I'm starting to believe 

I'm getting to where I need to be

We got stars in our palms 

Lucky charms on our arms

can't believe we've come this far

Can you see the view?

I believe that you do

Never felt happiness like this

Must be a product of luckiness

I’m still chasing girls 

Out of my league

Mumma always said 
chase your dreams

Even with all the impossibilities 

So I'm chasing girls every day

Maybe that's the reason

They don't want to be with me

In fact, it's she who said that to me

How can I choose

With all these fish in the sea

So many girls they're all so pretty

I want them all 

Not just one

Maybe I'm a little greedy

Still, think I'm cheesy?

Nah I'm freakin' seedy

But don't be fooled

It takes a lot to please me

So many cuties in this club

And I want every single one

Because I just can't get enough

Of all this lust

Let's make love, in this club 

Where's Ushers song come on

Girl, I want you, no you, no you

**** how am I supposed to choose

I'm so confused

On what to do

Oh well, guess I better make them 

Form a Que.

I want them all 

Not just one

Maybe I'm a little greedy

Still, think I'm cheesy?

Nah I'm freakin' seedy

But don't be fooled
It takes a lot to please me

Hey, little lady,

I think I love you

Nah just kidding

I want to *******

In fact, bring a friend to

There enough room in my bed

For both of you

Come on give me all you've got

Because your both so freakin' hot
(Haha)

I want them all 

Not just one

Maybe I'm a little greedy

Still, think I'm cheesy?

Nah I'm freakin' seedy

But don't be fooled

It takes a lot to please me

I write you into my poems at midnight
So that I never forget you;
I write you into my prayers at midnight
So that you never forget me.

Don't know why I'm seeking your approval
This feeling is so unusual
You and I are classified as unsuitable
She struck fast with her lightning eyes
She could see my torn soul, from the outside
Now she's pulling me apart piece, by piece
Reopening old wounds 
That took so long to heal
And everything just feels surreal
The ledge I was standing on wasn't stable
I'm not sure if I'm able or not
Able to reach for the sky above
I keep trying to believe in love
when I just started to get high 
Something rips my wings from my back
Then I'm brought crashing down to earth
then reality starts to surface
that these make believe feelings
Just don't suit me
us two just weren't meant to be.
