years have gone by since i’ve seen your face
its worth it, every day i wake up more alive
the bitter taste is gone from my mouth and
i no longer find myself wanting you
i don”t miss your smile, your laugh
the beer taste in your mouth
those three words don’t make me fight back tears
finished time, stuck, forgotten;
i don’t remember you anymore.
you’re mistakes are like firecrackers-
i can feel you inside,
building in my lungs;
you are a scream forcing its way out.
middle class and in over your head,
you thought you couldn’t be without
your bullet proof smile and
charming words.
i’m not that hard to impress, (such a shame)
but now i know all of your secrets-
you should have pointed the gun at yourself,
because my eyes have seen it all.
i don’t know what you expected,
but my head is above the water
and i see so clearly.
in spite of what was said,
i wish you the best.
i don’t want you to fail,
but i won’t be fooled again.
that time shared is dying in the moonlight,
and there is nothing romantic about that.
tell me that it’s coming soon.
tall grass, late nights and your smile
are what i’m counting on.
laugh because it’s all alright,
i’m planning on getting lost
with you in my sights.
i don’t care if i’m a fool,
as long as i’m a fool with you.
it’s the music that makes me sing
it’s your voice that brightens up my world.
i don’t know what i’m doing
but i’ll make it up as i go.
i’m so scared of time
watching it go by, by the way,
the rafters echo my songs for you
i don’t need direction
i believe you
you told me i was beautiful
and i laughed to make you smile
down and out, wayward brothers and sisters
i mean it when i say that i love you.
my days are numbered, my moments are few
my life is fleeting and my choices cause pain
and yesterday’s friends are today’s strangers
rocking chairs weather and sunsets turn to dusk
i sing for exoneration, i cry out for mercy
i saw the skyline while driving on the highway
and it caused a smile to play on my lips
and the very sounds of laughter escaped them
despite what trouble may lie ahead
i will remember the table prepared before me
and i will feast on hope and love
even in the presence of darkness and separation
and i will know that He is still in control.
