lyrics

This is poetry in prose
Sick of all the girls who are ashamed of their toes
if only you could feel this
If you only knew what I know
Long blond wavy rays of sunlight
A little timid, sweet, but frigid
Spoken notes penned
and exchanged by brains half dead
even in darkness your sun still shines
and somehow I know its all going to be just fine
And when the light comes in the morning
It hides behind a cloud
because the sun is jealous of you
And you hide behind anything you can
because that’s just what you do
We are defined by action
Not what you think or say
But what you do
And im alone helpless
But I call this hell bliss
Because at least I have your image in my head
Its being trapped in a cage
Where the keys are hanging on the wall
Taunting you
And just out of reach
But what if the cage isn’t holding you in?
What if it’s the world trying to keep you out?
So when I sit back down to think
The bare skin of my back is pressed against the cold steel
And I close my eyes
And tune out the rattle of the cage
And feel
I feel seeing your smile
And how much warmer you make a room
Those moments pass so fast
And like fresh cut grass
I wish that smell would never pass
And I only wear a watch when we’re together
Because when you count the seconds
Time seems to last forever
And you’ve seen that man in gray?
The one who only walks on cloudy days
Well he said to me with a grin,
Someday it will all be yours, nothing like it was before
someday it will all make sense
back inside the cage, the steel is warm now
and im on a beach
eyes out of focus
trying to reach the horizon
that Parhelion on the right
it brings the best light
and the one on the left
finally disappears
and as the sun finally sets
the sky starts to bleed and cry
with the most beautiful colors ive seen in my life
but I cant help but look away
to stare at the picture I drew of you in the sand
