I would shut off the power
In Cincinnati for an hour
Just to see the light come back on
In your eyes.
I would swim out from shore
A hundred miles- maybe more-
If that would save you from drowning
In your worries.
I would change all the words
To every song I’d ever heard
Just to sing the words you may
Want to hear.
And I would mend all the shards
Every fragment of who you are
If that would keep you from
Falling apart.

I would shut off the power
In Cincinnati for an hour
Just to see the light come back on
In your eyes.
I would swim out from shore
A hundred miles- maybe more-
If that would save you from drowning
In your worries.
I would change all the words
To every song I’d ever heard
Just to sing the words you may
Want to hear.
And I would mend all the shards
Every fragment of who you are
If that would keep you from
Falling apart.
