Sleep

Tonight the kids will sleep better than I ever have
But darling, that's okay because you are my favorite reason to lose sleep
It's gotten to the point where I can't tell the difference between my dreams and reality
And I can't tell if the happy ending is in my dreams or in my reality
Oh, I hope it's the latter.

Untitled #5

Take the time to read in between the lines and you will find what's been in front of you the whole time.
It's been like a flashing light blinding your eyes.

However, take your time because I'm not going anywhere, I swear.
Take your time because I'll never be ready to leave you alone.

I'll dream my life away if that's what it takes to let you know.
I'll dream my life away if it means you'll be here in the morning.

Just give me a break, it gets exhausting waiting for you.
But I'm in this for the long haul and I'm in this because I know you'll be happy with me.

Two Types of People

When you are around me, it seems like I can't act like a person or act like an actor.
All I can do is stare while you talk on your phone all day long, all night long.

Your eyes, they still haunt me to this day, each and every day.

There are two types of people:
A. Ones like you who wait for me to come talk to you because you're just so pretty.
B. Ones like me who are too afraid to talk to you, guess why. Because you're just so pretty.

You Dance

It was your voice I heard in the middle of the night and it was the motion of your body that kept me awake.
How could I have let a moment as perfect as that pass me by? I think it's because of that moment that my eyes have been locked onto yours.

A Place To Stay

I know that you can feel it, too--the way everything gravitates toward you, like me, I just can't help but watch you walk right past me.
And every night, I can't help but think of how the hell you don't catch me staring straight at you.

I never tried to hide it.

Something deep inside my heart tells me that you are falling apart as well as I am, except you don't let our a tear.
Just let me know when you need someone, I'll be there in the blink of an eye, I swear to God.

I swear to God, I never tried to hide it--I made it plain as day.

I built a house along the shore; a house for you and me, a place to call your own, a place to your home, a place you'll always know, a place to be alone, what else could you ask for?
