I know it’s wrong to say I love you
When that’s his job not mine
And i’m sure he does it just fine
But I can’t help the way I feel
Trust me if I could
I’d turn it off
So neither you or I would have to deal
With me and my jealousy
But can you blame me?
I mean, what would you do
If you…
For someone like you
I’d swim each ocean until I drowned
For someone like you
I’d break the Everglades down
Carry each mountain away
Pebble by pebble
Then I’d turn around
And build them right back up
For someone like you
I’d move the stars themselves
For someone like you
I’d travel to…
If I were a star
I’d be your star
And I’d fall for only you
I would shine the brightest
When you’re feeling blue
And you could sit at your window
And wish on me
And I’d wish right back on you
That someday
I could be that beautiful too
Some nights i just want to disappear
To delete every trace of me from this town
And off the internet
To hop in my car and drive to the coast
And throw my wallet into the waves
Give my car keys to a stranger
Then strip down naked and dive into the ocean
Swim as hard and as far as i can
Then just… float…
Let the current take me
And then just start all over wherever i wash up…
I wish I were an electric pulse
In your head
I wish I were a blood cell
In your veins
I wish I were a deep breath
Inside your lungs
I wish I were the letters
That spell your name
I wish I were a whisper
On your lips
I wish I was the face
From your dreams
I wish you weren’t perfect
In every way
I wish you wished all this shit
About me

So this is where it ends?
I’m right here with
My hand to my heart and
I swear I can live up to this
Just don’t go
Don’t let tonight become tomorrow
And I’m not trying to be so dramatic
It’s just the lights and the sounds
Of the streets that remind me
Just how small I am without you
And how even the brightest stars will fade soon
Because nothing else makes the world glow
Like your smile and I know
That the moments fit like bandages now
And our tongues ache of regret
And dance away from things once said but
Give it one chance and I’ll turn heads our way again
I just don’t want to live as the only argument
To the words of the old that always say
It’s better to have loved and lost
But they haven’t ever lost you now have they?
And I’ll fill my lungs
With all the things I should’ve said
But never did
And I owe you so much for that
You have to let me do this
I know I can and
I swear I mean it when I say
That letting you down is a mistake
That I just can’t live with and
I could never make twice
So please give me the time because
It wouldn’t just break my heart to watch you go
It would take it somewhere only you would know
And I would never live it down that
I burned away something so beautiful
Would you think me weird if I said
That I think I love you?
Would you think me strange if I were to say
I’m infatuated by you
And would you think me obsessed
If I were to constantly wish
I knew what it was like to taste your lips
Would you think me crazy
If I were to maybe
Be writing this…
