There was some kind of emptiness in my eyes last night
I could feel it
like a tornado sweeping over a deserted land
My deserted hands feel like a grand piano
playing a tune only you can understand
I dreamed of it once
a boy with blue eyes brushing away all of my sacrifice
and I swore I wouldn't let it slip away this time
like my mother did, every single time
Her daughter rushing for the exit sign
me
A time bomb left ticking
like a clock without a 12 and a song without the tune
and you
without me
I know it doesn't work
so I carved your name in the Earth and poured concrete into the words
because I can't ever let myself forget this
I can't let you forget this, we have to make it
As far as I'm concerned
your lips are a cave filled with crystal clear waters and a soft floating pillow
for me to lay
and I swear I was made to stay there
fit this way
like a puzzle piece fitting perfectly in it's perfect place
beside you
I can't remember fitting anywhere else
and your heart it melts in my palm
and I call out to some god so then maybe I can figure it out
how it's possible to have been so blessed
by your breath and your chest
and the beauty I recollect when I think of our first night
me floating in my flower dress
I wore a flower dress when I ran for my life
and I found yours and I like the way it tastes
I must say, I must stay
Honest, honestly I once whispered to a willow tree
about this boy I met in a dream
I swear it was always you
It's always been you
