Tonight I lay in want
But not for something new
Not for something for myself
But to know she feels it too
That this feeling inside me
Resonates deep in her heart
And this feeling grows stronger
Every second we’re apart
And though I miss her still
It will all be okay
Because I know we’ll be together
Now and for every day
Another day it all continues
And I’m starting to adjust
Not knowing, not caring
No affection, little trust
I dont make the effort
I once yearnned to do
Its becoming ever harder
To keep chasing after you
Its coming in second
To everything else around
That makes it even harder
For me to voice a sound
So in silence I reside
I’ll be there like before
But not the same effort,
not like it was before.
I’m not sure where you stand tonight,
And if it were up to me, you’d be by my side.
My existence is hidden from your eyes,
I’m just another silhouette in your life.
There’s depths I have found in this world
I wanted to reveal them all to you
But you hid inside your own existence
Never exploring the world outside yourself.
Safe and secure in your crumbling fortress
For now you live in content with it all
But someday you’ll wonder, when it falls down
If there was something you’d missed all along
The sound of your voice alone
Incites something deep within
When moments before I was wavering
You always reassure me, time and time again
It’s not when were talking I’m unsure
But the hours in between I’m over thinking
And to know I’m not the only one helps
Keep this worried heart from sinking
It’s the sound of your voice that incites
Something deep inside my heart
That makes me want to stay with you forever
Never spending another second apart
And alas apart we are, each day by day
Until we feel safe enough to embrace
And take the risk of jumping straight in
To feel the embrace, of love, and beauty, and grace
I want to her protector
To make her feel safe
In this crazy mixed up world
And know nothing will ever hurt her
I want to be her prince charming
To make her face glow
When I walk in a room
Make her wanna dance, wanna sing
I want to be her lover
To make her let loose
Of every inhibition
And her to want me each time even more
I want her to call me her own
To make her know from here on out
She’ll never be without
Always by her side, never again alone
Would you rather every morning
Wake up with someone by your side
Or find the one that you’d give it all
For just one day to look into their eyes
Do you want to ease life’s burdens
And have someone to walk beside you
Or do yo you not want to settle
And hold out for something deep and true?
Are all the years passed really worth
Just that one fine day to look and know
That every day without them was worth
Just this one day to have and hold
So many miles between, but I feel this mix within
I feel alone without you, but safe by your voice
So I’ll lie here with thoughts of you in my head
Wondering if your thinking of me, as you lie in bed
Waiting for sparks to fly when our lips first meet
Its already so young, but I’m diving straight in
Because once in a lifetime, someone will come along
They make you understand, why all before were wrong
Should things not turn out, no doubt it’ll be hard
It’ll be picking up pieces, like any time before
And worst of all for anyone else to follow
Because next to you, they’ll be dull and hollow
But I cant begin to think that way, it hurts to much
So for now I’ll close my eyes, and drift to sleep
With dreams of waking up to your touch against me
Falling even deeper, holding on, until we finally meet
This worlds alive, but I feel so dead
The patterns are so predictable is sad
When’s the excitement to be found?
When’s the living going to happen?
A cyclical patten of ups and downs
Determined by my circumstance
When did I cease to be in control of it?
When is this circle of events going to end?
It doesnt have to be something grand and awe
All that matters is that, its what I choose
When’s will I ever step up to it?
When will that choice finally be made?
Every day it continues a little bit more
Refining you into this art of gold
Disillusioned from the way you’ve become
So lost, so gone, your heart so cold
Is there a innocent heart somewhere still within
Hidden within such a tainted life
Searching for an answer you carry on
Carrying your burden of pain and strife
Is the risk to startling to chance
Attempting to pour from one soul to another
A candle of light in your dark existence
Wonder in life, you might discover
Sliding down that freezing cold glacier
You silly bird that doesn’t even fly
But all the girls they, they think you’re so cute
I think about you it makes me, wanna cry
Why cant I be like you and get all the girls
Please tell me why?
You’re all dressed up in your tuxedo
Me I’m just a fool in my raggy clothes
Write a book for me so I can learn
To be a ladies man, so everyone knows
Mr. Penguin would you write me a song
With all the secret moves
Tell me what I can do, to win her heart
To be the cutest one, the one she’ll chose
I can be just as good as you
You’re so smooth
