wednesday, i stopped,
threw the rain to the shore,
didn't care for the pain,
cause i loved your face more.
if you see me in pieces,
they're all things i adore,
if this pain was a prison,
you're an unlocked door.

you sat in my pew,
just to hear what I'd say,
you waited in rain,
but you stayed, all the same.
i told you goodnight,
knew you wouldn't believe,
then you walked out the door,
carved initials in trees.
we made our way home,
but i wasn't myself,
and you asked me what's wrong,
to the ground, then i fell.
i woke to your hand,
you are all that i need,
if you left, then I'd leave,
you're the best thing I've seen.

your eyes were a riverbed,
my hands like a branch.
my voice was a hummingbird,
thoughts in quicksand.
the waves carried everything,
moved by the moon,
there's a light in my hand,
and it glows in this room.

cant wait to let this edge go,
the promise in my eyes,
i swear to God I've tried,
all the water turned to wine,
i drank it all to lose some time,
not quick enough to dull the shine.
i wish that i was never yours,
cause never was i ever mine.

found you in my darkest days,
a love I'd have no other way.
i tried to pull but still i stayed,
for once, i cannot walk away.

wouldn't trade all this fire,
for a second of breath.
all the heart in my words,
will outlive my own death.

run, i'm afraid,
of the man i have made.
i made my mid-twenties,
i have simply stayed.
but i hope you are proud,
of how well i have aged.
so i hope you are well,
and i hope you're okay.
