If I were a tree
I would never let my leaves blow in the wind
Out of fear that I will never grow any again

i promise to never drag you on roller coasters you don't consent to
and if you do take a chance on the rackety rails
i promise to never let go of your hand

i promise to never pull you through this life
if you don't wish to be by my side
but, if you do decide to accompany me on this journey
i promise to never let go of your hand

I'm not really sure what to say to you to let you know that there is more
You are a hard person to convince
stuck in a mind turbulence that throws you overboard and practically drowns you in thought
Don't worry, I am too.
However, you are the one thing that breaks the tide, and I take a liking to that.

I have decided to create a mixtape for you
I have seen this many times in hopeless romances,
and I do feel that it truly is the action that will best show you my love
The cassette is in my car on repeat
but none of the songs fit right

And I don't think it can be solved with cookie dough Icecream or endless walks of thinking.
I don't think the blades or tears or blasting music helps.
I don't think that the round of drinks vomited in the shower or the bloodshot eyes are decent.
But neither is it all.

come close to me and feel my breath
against the ice of your heart
i will melt you
i will make you feel again

if you were here i would tell you by the light of the television that there is nowhere else i would rather be than by your side
i promise to always let you snuggle
under the blankets of my love
but i don't know where you live anymore
