I'm floating
Floating on a little river
Down to who-knows-where.
Direction and time is something
Unheard of
In a place like this.
Time could be tick-tocking away
And I could care less.
The current's taking me wherever it pleases,
And I'm in no mood to argue today.
It's just the river and me-
Enjoying the sunlight and summer breeze.
It's nice finally nice not having a care.
There's no burden
Or heavy weight dragging me down
On this little river of mine.

You're like a passage of my favorite book-
Perfect company on a rainy weekend.
Tell me all the things I'd love to hear.
Spin me tales of love and loss.
Create the endless possibilities that we have to offer.

You're a blanket on a lazy day-
Safe, secure, and comforting.
Wrap me up and hold me close.
Cover us up from head down to our toes.
Share me stories that you'd only tell your pillow to.

You're like a song playing on the radio-
Singing a sweet melody all day long.
Dance along to the music with me.
Spin in circles until the world's a blur of color.
Feel my heart in sync with the song's beat.

You're like a cup of coffee-
Liquid happiness on Sunday mornings.
Wake me up when I'm only half here.
Bring me back down to earth
After a long night away.

I got this idea in my mind
That the moon hangs right up above your head
And the stars **** through your eyes.
So when you're not there, the sky turns dark and lonely
And not even a strong cup of coffee can wake my sleeping heart.
So I guess what I'd like to say is
Don't go anywhere for a long, long time.

unstable
you tore me away from reality
with simple sentences
and idiotic jokes

you made me forget
everything

I didn't know what to think

or what to do with myself.

I guess I just ended up becoming yours.

now you've broken
everything

you've broken everything and you expect me to pick up the pieces

I will
I can guarantee that

but I can't guarantee that I will find all of the pieces

some will be lost,

maybe even broken smaller.  

some will have been stolen,

by nightly visits or maybe
close relatives

and I know we might be able to get them back but

I don't want to scrape my hands picking up the glass that you broke

I don't want to work for something and go against people while you're sitting in your high chair waiting for some gratification

I don't want my blood all over your floor
when I know you're not even going to help

I don't want to feel
guilty
or vulnerable
when we talk

but I guess that's how it goes

because humans have needs that need to be fulfilled

no matter how hard it is for someone else to fulfil it for them.
I'm to blame
for having emotions
and caring too much about the little things.

i always feel helpless
even when i'm around you
because stars that seem to be
just right beside one  another
are actually separated
by a great,
great

d i s t a n c e
and i can't reach you
