Photo 14

Waking early, the world around me seems newly made
You lie right next to me, your neck's a memory that won't soon fade
The light it seeps through, illuminates you, I draw the shade
The outside world will have to wait

Cause the way you lingered in my heart
Like a photograph into the dark
I've rubbed my eyes for months and months it seems

I would run for you, I would follow you, wherever it may lead
I would hold you and, I would tell you just, how much you mean to me
I would cry the tears prescribed
Just for loving you, and for loving you, and for loving you

But shades like shadows, only last a matter of space and time
The world enforces unfair divorces of your soul and mine
With failed devotion I hold emotions but they unwind
The wraps have slowly come undone

But I still can see you gaze at me
Your eyes defy this entropy
I'm floored like I have seen the face of God

I would run for you, I would follow you, wherever it may lead
I would hold you and, I would tell you just, how much you mean to me
I would cry the tears prescribed
Just for loving you, and for loving you, and for loving you

We're born to suffer and we put up buffers and hope for the best
We're borne downriver, hope to be delivered, from ocean death
I've heard of islands let's try to find one, it's my last request
This life is easier than it seems

And you're still asleep beside me now
With dreams I'll never figure out
And hope is worth much more than Truth for now

I would run for you, I would follow you, wherever it may lead
I would hold you and, I would tell you just, how much you mean to me
I would cry the tears prescribed
Just for loving you, and for loving you, and for loving you
