I must remind myself that you are human
And humans are made with imperfections
How unfair of me to think that you
Could fulfill all of my expectations  

I must remind myself that I am human
Also made of imperfections
But all I ask is that you hold my hand
and we can share a perfectly imperfect affection

Have you ever stood beside the ocean and closed your eyes?
Just breathing in the quiet wind and white noise of the tide.
YOU are my ocean
Your waves wash over me and at last my body is at ease
I breathe you in deep, because you are my release
You wrap your arms around me, whole
But you don't just cradle my body, you hold my soul
There in the silence, you hold a fragile being
But I trust you're strong enough, cause I hear my heart beating
The ocean is vast, and scary at times
And I'm submerged underwater, yet I'm breathing just fine.

"TICK TOCK!"
The clock screams loudly from the wall
Everything in me wants to answer its call
It hears the silence and asks me why I sit
When it's busy ticking and tocking and pitching a fit
It tells me that there's only so much it can say
Before his arms give out and its voice goes away
He tells me that sitting does him no good
I could do so much more if only I stood
So stand up for something while you still have time
Because purpose makes life  a lot better you'll find
