Could I be lost at sea? See, I’m running away.
Away from my thoughts, thought I’d be okay.
I’m writing a song from notes. Note the lack of continuity in theme.
But that’s all she wrote. She wrote the lyrics on my lips.
Baby being in love is alright.
Alright, I’m being cheesy but believe me it ain’t easy not to be.
When you’re wrapped up in a pair of arms that never wanna let you go.
She’s leaving this town on a train. I’m trained to be afraid of that you know.
You know what they say. Say I’ll be okay.
So I’ll hide in this room for two. Too many ways to say I miss you.
You’re calming down. Down my heart rate goes.
Now that you’re here, I’m fully aware of what one has to gain when falling in love.
Now that I know that the simplest road is usually right, I’ll stop reading books.
I’m finishing up this song; song to sing to you and you to sing to me.
Meaningful words that I love to say.
I hope you can hear me now. Now and always I’ll be singing these to you.
You’ll carry my tune in your own sweet ears.
