Breathe Deep


Deep breath in, deep breath out
Let all of the doubts just spill out of your mouth
Holding on tight to moments like these
Moments that can carry you away on a breeze
As fragile and delicate as a leaf in the fall
Something so beautiful, yet something so small
And you can’t help but let it change you
Let it consume you, let it sway you
Into thinking you don’t deserve something this great
Letting words make the difference between choice and fate
Hands chasing hands through summer air
Name the last time you took the time to let down your hair
Cause this world wants much more from you than I will ever ask
And it won’t be as forgiving of the past
Don’t stop to ask yourself what is wrong and what is right
Let the world wonder where you’ve been, and just stay here with me tonight
Cause love can seem such an awful word
When the love you’ve felt was in the lies you’ve heard
When loose ends don’t match, and you can’t fill the spaces
That the last person left, and you’ve searched a thousand places
You can rest your head in the shade of my affection
Cause you know I’ll treat you right, why not make me your selection?
If you tell me I have to wait for you
Then waiting is what I’ll do
Let me be the last girl to make you feel this way
Forget regrets for just one night; promise me you’ll stay

All my life.

I could write a million words I could bring the ink To this paper I could type until my fingers bleed But nothing will say what you mean to me And I have written about other girls Before But none have stirred my soul like you do None have made me want to dance And sing And play like a child And recklessly desperately try so hard to be near you I can hear you in my dreams Telling me you want me Whispering Humming In my ear A thousand times I've dreamt of what it would be like To be yours I've let hours waste away Thinking about your hands in my hair Twisting curls around your fingers Getting lost in the oceans in my eyes The music in your voice is a reprise I could listen to all my life.

"Big Skinny"

You stole my heart with a smile, and you broke it with a trigger pull You seemed so put together, but you really had your hands full Never feeling good enough, never living up to expectations You thought that you were failing, when all you needed was some patience And I wish that I had had that talk with you, where we share our secrets Instead of them weighing down on you, you could trust me to keep it You ask me where my scars are from, and I ask you why you want to leave Why you’re tired of being here with us, why your heart is on your sleeve You gave so much to us and maybe you took too much from yourself You, ever longing to fulfill a purpose greater than yourself I wish that there had been a better solution for you other than waiting Waiting for something better to happen, instead of looking to John 3:16 If it was eternal life you desired, then eternal life you shall get For you are the closest to any angel that I have ever met And I miss yo...

Crows feet.

I hope I give you crows feet From smiling Too often I hope that when our eyes meet Your knees go weak And your body grows heavy Because you mesmerize me The way you talk The way you walk The way you brush my body When you stand beside me To let me know you want to touch me The way you smile at me subtly In a room full of people I am the one That you look at like that And every time you turn your back I will follow I will swallow All my fear Just to be near You and your heart beating Because it feels like I’m cheating Fate If I don’t give in to the way You move me And I don’t even know if destiny Is real but I know this feeling is And it’s just too strong to dismiss
