The Heart that Never Stops Dreaming

I have this heart that never stops dreaming
I have these eyes that never stop beaming
I will look at you like I'm seeing for the first time
Like you're in technicolor and I've been blind
My whole life
And once you've seen the glow
It's hard to go back to pretending you don't know
What it looks like
Especially when it feels right..

You'll look at me with half light
Torn between two possibilities that could be both wrong and right
All at once
And you try to strike the balance
But you feel weight on both sides
And you have to even the scales when the magic subsides
You and I are transcendent
Everything I've said I've meant it.

Maybe it's hard for us to keep our heads in the clouds
Cause our ankles are anchored to the ground
By the experiences we've had that have left us jaded
And we're neck deep in the waters we've waded
Just to keep ourselves afloat
And we've carved holes in the world with little anecdotes
That held more weight than people noticed
And when another person can hold it
Can make you feel that your voice matters
The line of morality blurs
As your heart catches fire
And flutters as you walk the wire
How do you ignore
An attraction of the soul?

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
