let's get out of here
run away
escape to the country
forget our worries for a while
put our problems on hold
and just let go
fall into freedom
and love
and stargaze at night
and explore old towns
you and me

i don't care
how or when or why
we fall in love
i just can't wait
until we do

i may be ugly
but my music taste is
better than yours

the clouds gather
they darken
thunder rumbles
lightening strikes
the sky is angry today
throwing a beautiful tantrum
for the whole town to behold

he may come looking for you
he may move on
find another
leave you in his past
but don't you worry
you are on your own journey
with or without him

he smiles to himself
as he walks away
away from the crowd
the noise and hustle
to his secluded home
the calmness fills him
as he steps in the door
another day completed

home is where the heart is
and how true that is
home is not a house
not an apartment
not a hut
not a caravan
home is where the heart is
houses fall down
get destroyed
your home is inside of you
it goes wherever you go
a place of solitude
comfort
peace
your home is how and where and when you feel love
real love

honestly
do what you love
and only what you love
follow your heart always
love apologetically
love freely
love you

don't worry about those insignificant ones
that think they know you
understand you
want to associate with you
they aren't important
what's important
is you
and don't you forget it

there's something about a good country song
that makes you want to get up and dance
let loose
forget your worries
it makes me want to move to nashville
write music
play guitar
fall in love
i can't get enough of it

who am i to say
love isn't real
maybe i have never known of love
real love
am i a stranger to the beautiful sweet thing
that everyone speaks of
is it too far out of reach
they say i'm too young to understand
they say it won't come until i grow
what if i find the one
the one that changes my mind
changes everything
makes me believe
believe completely in this beautiful thing
called love

wandering through the misty fog
in a forest so vast
deep into it's heart
seeing it's beauty
stepping over fallen branches
gazing at the strong trunks
so much green
the fresh air clears my lungs
i don't want to leave

forget tomorrow
start now
this very moment
you can get better
and you will

smile
through your pain
be glad the sun is still shining
the birds are still whistling
you are still going
you will prosper

i can't make you love me
if you don't

i sit here now
all alone now
what can life give me
what can it show me
i have only learnt of pain
misery
deep sorrow
what am i doing
what are you doing
you are nowhere
you were always here
for me
but i sit here now
all alone now

i'm losing grip
you're slipping
through my fingertips
but you're all i have
irreplaceable

who cares
who cares if they criticize
sure
it hurts
cuts deep into you
makes you bleed out
who cares
stitch up your wounds
keep going

throw your broken hearts away
you don't need them
go find new ones
fill them with real love
from within
begin again

there's something in the air
something that wasn't there before
something damp
cold
unwelcoming
it follows me
wherever i go
i wish it would just leave

do not
for one moment
think
that i
no longer
love you
i will always
love you

you are one of a kind
a beautiful authentic creation
full of fire and passion
strength and zeal
own it

hey
it's me
let's kiss
like real people do

stop
take a breath
relax
take another breath
picture an open field
vibrant green grass
warm sun
pretty scented flowers
fresh air
you feel peaceful
free
you wander
barefoot through the soft grass
your mind clears
you are safe
content
breathe

it's the little things
waking up extra early to watch the sunrise
staying up late to talk to the stars
road tripping and discovering new towns
talking for hours and hours with those you love most
appreciate these moments

create art
write poetry
love unconditionally
be you

i smile through my pain
laugh through my hurt
i don't feel real happiness anymore
and i hate feeling
like i'm putting on a show
a performance for the world to see
i was the authentic one
the genuinely joyous one
now i'm the fake
the phony
but i'm trying

don't you forget me
no matter how far life takes you
whatever you become
whoever you love
don't you forget me

there's nothing more beautiful than your smile
the way you say my name
the way you hold me and whisper in my ear "i love you"
my handsome man
i see you only in my dreams

let's travel
visit little french cafes
find old bookshops
wander through countryside
explore beautiful towns
you and me

i want to leave this world
start over again
somewhere else
with you

hi
remember me
the pretty red head girl
full of love
and fun
and laughter
and hope
i'm back now
and i hope to stay

too many ways
to say you no longer love her
without making her understand
that this is the end
i always hope
you will fall back in love
with the first girl you fell for
but she's just fading away
in your mind
she can do nothing
to win back your heart
nothing

i need more time
please wait for me
i promise i'll catch up
or maybe
you should move on
but no
that will hurt too much

lay with me
forget the world for a minute
look at me
into my eyes
find comfort there

she's so pretty
she's so gorgeous
look at how skinny she is
oh my god can i be her
no fair how does she look that good
i don't look like that
why can't i look like that
i will skip my lunch to look like her
i will spew my food to look like her
i will exercise all ******* day just to look like her
****
i will **** myself because i don't look like her

what about them
the ones over there
the unwelcome
the unheard
maybe we should
start welcoming
start hearing
a little love can go a long way

i have lost her
the girl i once was
that knew herself
every single inch of herself
and i miss her

you'd never know
we were once lovers
it doesn't show
we are merely strangers

each time i let go
you pull me closer
inescapable love

i guess i will just sit here
in silence
it's safer than opening up
to someone as cold as you
