9/8/2008

you were always blessed at best
at worst, you always looked a mess
but I saw something in your smile
something I would drive for miles
for the chance to see again
I’ll cross this whole damn country
to graze against your skin
again

at night when lights are too bright to sleep
or it’s too damn dark for me to see
when I’m laying with noone sharing these sheets
when my mind starts drifting toward dreams
a whisper hits these ears
a voice slides in this mind
and I’ll hold out on filling beds
‘til you fill the other side
cause I can’t sleep when you’re upset
my mind runs circles around this room
fills this heart with anxious beats
these fingers clench and this mouth falls loose
throat runs dry
tongue goes limp
don’t know what I
I could give
I don’t I don’t I don’t
know
but I’ll find out

you want the moon?
I’ll get it for you
lasso that bastard
and pull it to your room

I’m not ready to leave this town
my bodies aching to press the gas
cross state lines and never look back
but my heart and soul won’t go for that
I’ve got the blues so hard and true
I can barely say a word to you
but I’ll sing a little something
and maybe it’ll catch your ear
you’ll hum a little something back
and give me reason to stay here
