Everything I know about you I am devastated with attraction Everything about you Is what everyone hopes to be How can I hold you? How are you real? ...here?
All I know is somehow when I'm trying to live You're always there. Just before my last footfall You are the end of the sidewalk You are just around every edge Watching from angles Who do you thank for your halo?
Since I remember you have Held my arm just a bit tight Have held me so close But gentle; Cautious
I'm doing it too.
But since I remember, Every time I've seen your outline in a doorway It's the only thing not standing still. In a world of deafening noise, Your voice is the only thing worth listening to You are the only person I'm quiet for just to hear Because maybe me hearing will heal you like hearing you heals me.
Sweetie, There are so many struggles So many struggling Everybody is hurt when they have to tackle their life Most of us are scared because it's coming Whether or not we like or we see. I haven't been close to anybody in years, I've lived in uncomfortable distance Trying to squeeze happiness from safety I want a reason to serve you I want just one thing I want you to know me.
I'm going to try for you. I'm going to try so hard I'll be your reason to endure Because life is scary, And nobody ever told us it would be. Lets be the ones To tear down the walls in the fake Worlds we've made Since I remember: I want you to be the one in my arms When those worlds crumble I want you to be the one crying with me And together we'll make smiles Because in the end life's ending, And you're worth living for.
