Smokey alleyways once lead me to a steel door
Only thing that lead my way
An ambient red light
The haunting sound of your voice

Large steel door, cold as the winter you protect your secrets from
What lies behind you

Whisper the name of a young woman strong as the smile she bears
The lock clicks ever so slightly

Open the cold barrier to bright light and a warm breeze
like the warmth of your eyes

There, in the middle of the warmth of the suns rays
There is a single cloud

I have found serenity

Your name is the key to sanctuary

Let me continue to whisper

I want to show you the magic in love

Lay in the grass on hot summer days
In shorts and tank tops
Picking out the shapes in the sky
Waiting for the winds to carve a heart
The way you'll carve mine

Let's bundle up on cold winter nights
Pajamas and blankets
Our bodies pretzeled together
Waiting for my lips to be cold
To warm them again on your cheek

Fall asleep together every night
Waking up a few moments before the sun rises
To watch the rays fall on your skin
You glow like fireflies

Watch terrible movies together
Making fun of the acting
Then each other
Laughing uncontrollably
I'll tickle you
In that one spot that no one else knows about
Just to watch your nostrils flare

Argue about the senseless things
We'll make up later
Saying that you were right
You're always right

You'll be asleep on the way to a picnic
I'll pull over to pick you daisies
They're your favorite
They remind you of the summer home your grandparents once owned
No one else knows that about you

I want to taste the goosebumps right behind your left ear
Showing you *** isn't about getting off
It's about those little twitches your hips make when you're kissed just below your belly-button
Letting you know I pay attention

I want us to grow old together
Looking out over the mountain tops of our retirement home
Waiting for time to stop
Your wrinkles will change the landscape of my imagination

I want to show you the magic in love

I'm eager
For the day
That my eyes
Look up at me
Calling me
'Daddy'

I shine out loud
At midst of all the crowd
You can see me from your balcony
Everyone saw me as precious metal
You could see the fools gold
Making sure I was aware
That I am
Fools Gold

These days have defeated me
The cartographer burned the map meant to take me home
I don't know how I ended up walking in circles
The ground below has a divot where my thoughts have weighed down the soil
I've taken step after step to get where I'm going
The only step left will be the hardest one
I just need to lift my foot off of the ground
To fall

G, F, C then D
Tap, tap, tap, tap
Slowly entranced into melody
Not of the eyes, for we are blind to Thee,

G#, D, C# then A
Heart rises slowly
Butterflies in chest, wonderfully gay
Not for a reason, inexplicably there, nothing to say

Gb, Ab, B then F
Divinity to the blind
Lo! What a sin to be deaf!
Who knew so much power to be in one simple clef

D, C, F then G
Flow, rise, fall, flow
Though simply black and white to see
Thou art a million million colors to me

Love is a riddle
A Gideon's knot of emotion
Only untangled
By two sets of hands
And a pair of hearts

So lend me your hands
And protect my heart
Help me untangle and unlock
Our love
And as long as you wish
I'll be yours

My eyes shifted at the sight of you.
I almost let it take me away.
You walked across the room and I couldn't close the door.
A sense of increased paranoia and tension caused my nerves to flash
Right before my moment, right before your eyes.
