It was one night  
She was at a concert
So we were alone
We talked all night
You told me secrets
I told you stories
But there was one story I wanted to tell
I've been wanting to tell you it for awhile
There were so many opportunities
And all of them failed
It's been two years
Still I haven't told you
And maybe I never will
But man I wish I could
You know what you did
And so do I
But you don't know I know
And I wish you knew

I want to hear the lighting
I want to see the thunder
I feel as if I'm deaf and blind when a storm comes around
The lighting blinds me so I cannot see the thunder
The thunder is so loud it makes my ear drum bust so I cannot hear the Lightning  
It's a battle between the two
They both want to win
But know both will loose
Because the rain always wins
But somehow they both think they have a chance
But no
The rain you can see and hear
It doesn't want to fight because it knows its strength
The rain always wins
And always will

Me
You
Dock
Nine o'clock
Orange skies
Sun going down
We were sunset silhouettes
You looked in my eyes
And I looked in yours
They were locked
I couldn't look away and neither could you
We were sunset silhouettes
The sky was now jet black and the stars were so bright
We both fell back on to the prickly grass
And watched them shine
It was like we never saw stars before
We were sunset silhouettes
A shooting star soar through the sky
We were both amazed
Both us and our sunset silhouettes

When tears turn black
When breaths turn to gasps
When talking turns to silence
When cries turn to sobs
When i love you turns to I hate you
When your heart breaks into two
When the room turns dark
When there's nothing you can do anymore
When your completely broken
When all you can say is sorry
When nothing seems to work
When your falling apart
When you think everything is over
I'll be there
To help you
To comfort you
To tell you that i love you
To hug you as hard as I can
To be your friend forever and always

Thirteen hour drive
Straight through
There was no turning back
Time for a whole family vacation
We were tired
We were punchy
We were a mess
We were headed to Michigan
Where the weather is always indecisive
Where the birds are always talking
Where the people are always smiling
Where the lakes and rivers are always flowing
Where the boats are always running
Where the bikes are always moving
Where I am at peace
To hear the water crash softly
To see the seagulls fly so gracefully
To feel the damp rock in your palm
To taste the sweet air
To smell the swaying trees
It's Michigan
It's miss ya again
And it's gonna be missed

Do not mistake mirrors for Windows,
see you could look through a window and see something new every day
but if you look through a mirror you see your reflection
the same person looking back at you,
trying to see what's wrong or what you need to fix
like a punctured tire on a highway
like a broken heart mended by some other person that u thought that was right,
but you were wrong
You have been wrong and that's okay
we make mistakes don't worry I have too.
But because you were wrong you can never go back
you can never see yourself that you were before
you see yourself as someone totally different
as someone else would see you
you see yourself as a monster
A victim of your own crime
but truthfully and honestly you're beautiful
and if you can't see that
Find a mirror
Find a mirror that will show you that
Show you that you are beautiful
Show you that you are smart
That you are amazing
And that you don't need to fix yourself
For you or for anybody
Because you are beautiful the way you are

I can't see you
I've been looking forever but I can't seem to-
My air seems to be running out
I can't see you
It's in my eyes and my vision is turning-
I know you're down here
I can feel it
But I can't see you
I swam to far down
I can't seem to get back to the top fast enough
I'm surrounded by water
I can't breathe
Help
Help me
I need you
I'm looking and
Im searching
I'm trying I really-
I'm running out
I can't see you
I can't hear you
But i can hear
I can hear the screams
They haunt me at night
I can feel the splashing water hitting my face and blinding my eyes
My body only seems to know how to float
I'm trapped
I want to swim to you but it's like something is holding me back
I can see you
I can see you know
You're screaming to me
Muffled by the water crashing and I see the bubbles come up when you speak
And I try to dive in
but something is holding me back not mentally
but physically
I try my best to reach you but you keep sinking down
I'm being pulled up and you're being tugged down
There's alarms in the distance I can hear them
I can hear everything now
The sirens
The screaming
The thunder
The waves crashing rapidly
My eyes are blurry and it's like I'm being spun around a thousand times
and I have to shut my eyes because it's to much
And now I can't see you
