I've been lookin' for you.
The one with the kind eyes and the humble laugh,
The smile that spreads across the whole sky
As I find myself lost in the clouds that are born from the scent of you.
I don't think I ever knew what you'd be like,
Other than that the warmth of your heart could thaw my hands after trying to keep me afloat all winter,
That a keen stare could be so gentle that it smooths every corner of my armor,
Or that a tree so steady could bend so far
To show me that soft can still be strong.

Calm doesn't work for me
Because when I am still,
I climb the walls of my mind
Like I tear at my skin
And pick at my fingers. 

If I'm not having fun, I'm just slowly dying.

If I could collect all the tears I've cried
And hand them back to the persons responsible,
Some of you would be dry as the summer sun,
others may be soaked.
But somehow I'll still be the one
Who drowns in the end.

Is it really such a bad thing
To want to carry something good and youthful,
Nurture it to a mature and responsible success?
Maybe seeing potential
Isn't always a threat of failure.

I punched my reflection, square in the jaw
And she showed me who I really am.

You'll want someone who will guard you in battle or peace,
Exalt with you in feast or famine,
And cradle you through the nightmare until your dreams are born.

You may think you want to do everything yourself,
But nothing in life is more precious
Than a partner that is yours because they want to be.

I fear the depths of your eyes
Because it's been so easy to get lost.
I dont know what's the sky
Or where the road is unfolding before me.
Those big blue orbs,
Pools of curiosity that beckon me to the edge.
I've always been a risk taker
And I'm thinking about jumping in.

My friends are made of cement,
Hard as statues,
never bending to the winds of change
No matter how wild the storms rage.
Somehow they chose me
To join their monument,
Although my corners crumble
And my creases are no longer defined-
I'm not as sturdy as I should be.
How do you ask a statue if you may lean on it?
