lost, lost, it's totally lost
out on the sea it's tossed
I looked along the beach
but it was just out of reach

I looked among some boats
because I'm pretty sure it floats
I looked in some seedy bars
thought I'd found it in fast cars

I looked along the Florida coast
but all I found were men who boast
and I looked up in Seattle too
because I didn't know what else to do

I looked among my family
but my hands started getting clammy
I looked among my friends
but that's not where this story ends

So I looked in movies and books
and stories of captains with hooks
and I looked inside my heart
that's where it was lost in the start

Something is so hard to find
when it's only a thing in your mind
courage, peace, a purpose to hope
a reason to laugh and not to mope

Then I looked into the sky
that's when I started to cry
I stopped trying to control my fate
because I know now, that God's my soulmate.

Now that doesn't mean I can't wed
that I have to be alone till I'm dead
to care and to feel comes from above
so now, only now, am I free to love

Every time we speak, I feel like you are judging me
so I spout off without a care, nonsense to regret later
I don't know how you do it, but you make act defensively
when with everyone else, I'm a lover not a hater

I just want to talk to you the way I talk to others
but with you I cannot be myself, I don't know why
anyone else, can be instantly like sisters and brothers
but after you and I talk, I always want to cry

You make me so frustrated because I can't just be
and I don't know if it's you that's making this so tough
or if all this difficulty exists inside of me
All I know is that it never gets better it's always rough

You interrogate and fluster me and make me feel dumb
do you do it on purpose? Or is that just my perception?
then I leave our conversations feeling glum
It was so easy to talk to you at the relationship's conception

I think the best defense against this defensiveness
is to have a good offense of humility
I will stop trying with the impressiveness
and hopefully this will cause more tranquility

Your constant need for adoration is exhausting
but that is not my fault nor my job to fix
but if my own arrogance is part of it's causing
then I shall take that one ingredient from this awful mix

I don't know what problems are you in you
but I can do a lot to change the things inside of me
for some reason, I'm stuck on you like glue
I just wish that you could relax and be happy

I love that adorable little black nose
and how you perk up when I ask "go?"
your big brown eyes follow me around
you always come over when I am down
your tongue is purple with a little pink
when you run off you come back and stink
your a free spirit but I can tell
that we're kindred spirits, you know me so well
your hair gets all over the place
but you have the cutest **** puppy face
