Just out to soak it in
Waves crash under the moon
Waiting for it to begin
As I reach out, my palm's sweat
You do to me what they've talked about
Since the first person said "I want you"
I just want to take you out
I just want you to feel it too
I just want you to feel it too

Electricity bouncing off of frayed wires
Dancing in the air and dissipating
My head hurts but I'm a liar
Everything's just been dark and fading
I know this feeling won't last long
But I'm just so ******* tired of waiting
And it's only been a little while

Awaking
To the thought of your face
Sleeping
With your heart in my heart's place
Dreaming
Of your hand in mine
Wishing
That you just had the time

You tell me that you're happy
And you're not willing to compromise
You made it clear that you're good
And I've made a point to tell you I wish you were mine
I wish we were "us" and I hope that we will
One day walk into the light and let it all fill
The spaces in my chest where love used to dwell

Your worth is of no real question
It doesn't matter when the Sun is setting
I don't think I'll ever really learn my lesson
Because what I'm giving is better than what I'm getting
These words, the feelings you brew up in my gut
Can't be weighed out and properly dissected
I'm in a rut, was in a rut, will always be in a rut
I just hope it turns out after all this time I've invested

Because, because, because
When the Sun is rising
Because, because, because
I'll never stop fighting
I've got no choice in the matter
Just promise me you'll never stop whining
Because
I cherish those little whimpers like nothing else

The way you call my name
With that tongue
Singeing my eardrums
Like the Devil's poker
After he takes it from the flame
I don't know if you're right
Or if this was all just meaningless
And your legs lied to me
As did your eyes
Your stare could deceive a judge
With the precision of a scalpel
While I'm on the operating table
Just staring blankly at the ceiling
Waiting for some sort of feeling
To whisk me away
John Aug 2013
My heart is tight
It's hard for me to let you in
Try as you might
You may never truly see within
As much as I'd like you to
I can never, ever let you do
I can never let you do that
For me

She texts and says she's at work
Says she's feeling down
Says she's feeling hurt
I tell her I'm down
Or I'm up for whatever
Anything to see that pretty smile on her face
Anything to see us light up the whole place
Like ****, now this is a change of pace

I met her on the job
She said she had a boyfriend
But now they're on the outs
Now I know it might be close to the end
But I don't mind just being that girl's friend
No, I don't mind being her favorite friend
And by "friend", I don't really mean friend

I know I'm on a road to Hell
On a path of destruction
Whether it be my own or hers
It's not really me if she's down for *******
I just like the sound her voice makes
And I think she's pretty **** cute
I've never been insensitive
Or, maybe I have
But I've been saving all this Karma
It's time I put some of it to use
It's time I drank some of this juice
It's time I let myself loose

I can't really blame her
When she says she really likes me
Her guy doesn't sound too nice
If he really wants to fight me
Over her then I'd probably just drop it
It's not that I'm scared
I just really don't care
Enough to get all *****
Over something that's not mine
I'd rather save my strength
For something more refined
It's not my fault if she tells me
She really likes me
It's not my deal
When she jokes with me sexually
She's just another girl
It's still the same world
I'm not about to **** my own vibe
For any black pearls

It seems it's always rainin'
But the Suns out today
And I ain't complainin'
Today I just wanna play

So sit right down next to me
As I press down on the gas pedal
The flowers in your hair keep blowing
The more I push the pedal to the metal
Your smile just makes everything better
And I smile when you smile
Never really was the biggest go-getter
But, babe, you put me in overdrive
Wanna go to the creek at the top of the hill
Step to the edge, hold my nose and dive

The words that keep spilling from your mouth
Like milk on the kitchen floor
No matter how mad, no matter how happy
I just keep on wanting more (and more)
I mean, I know you've got a boy
Waiting for you at home
I'm just like a ******* toy (to you)
And I really don't mind
I don't at all, really I couldn't care less
Because even if you're not mine
I still feel like the one who's blessed
But when the time comes just gimme a sign
Because when you and him are over
I'll be there, I'll be there with open arms

Oh, babe, this is all for a reason
I can go, I can so go
With you it's so pleasin'
And if you want more just let me know
I'm just overflowing with ways
To talk, to be, to stand next to you
I'm probably a little selfish
But it seems I'm stuck like glue
And I can't help these feelings
You just **** me with those big eyes
Your soft hands and milk and roses skin
I just wish, I just hope, I just wait
For the best to begin
