Why can’t I be you?
People stick to you like glue.
They just turn and run from me.
Like I’m something they can’t bear to see.
I’m not a ******* animal.
My tanks gone empty and it started full.
Just promise me you won’t leave.
My heart’s been plastered to my sleeve.

Take my hand.
Take my life.
Come to me, let’s just stand.
Together we’ll make them believe the hype.

Sometimes I just think too much.
I wonder if it’s just my luck.
But I feel like the hand I’ve been dealt.
Is just too ****** to even be felt.
So I contemplate the worst.
And picture the ******* hearse.
But then I think again.
About all the time left to spend
With you.

You drive me to insanity.
But youre the only one I want to see.
So I hope you feel the same.
And I hope this isn’t too lame.
But I just wanna spend all the time I have left.
With you and no one else.
So I’d really appreciate it.
If we can just talk and sit.
Forever.
John
