Left to our own devices, We lay our hearts embedded It can be hard enough to trust someone with something so rare Like skating through soapy waters And only have one hand to hold your balance My heart hung in the balance The difference between us again And I’m scared you’ll fall for me this…

There are so many things wrong today, The summer heat has lifted away The leaves are getting ready to change their ways Falling down Ambulances keep running down my street, People never seem to always be perfect And the crowds join hands in their phones Just to record the moment instead of living in it…

My hat is hung on the stray bullets that barely missed, Swerved just left and saved a kid Had her feet collided with me we would’ve been gone, that’s for sure Then I hung my hat on the stray bullets that missed her If you think about it, you’ll break your own heart And at…

We’d fight to be fought, Learn to live to be forgot Right where these are hands, These are what’s holding us still Because this is night without the sun until Our levels are higher than they’ve ever been But until you are here, I am lonely until then They say I’m going crazy trying to…

It’s late and I’m early for a dose of your love, So pray me back to sleep, oh God How close to glory have I been brought? I ask you to bring me to the life I need, Anxiously I withhold saying three simple words, but it’s only eight letters. Tell me no, As the…
