Hopeful

You said in me you see, a quiet confidence
But I’m afraid to say, it’s quite the opposite
I never asked, you never knew
Too shy to say what I wanted to
Tied up so tight, this can’t be right
When next to you, I shined so bright
I called you on your longest day
To tell you that I felt this way
I’m hopeful but not hanging on
Can’t wait for you to come along
It’s time that I go on my way
And it’s not wise for me to stay
I’m hopeful but not hanging on…
I wonder if it could have been
If I had just left it alone
If I had watched you take your time
If I could tame my troubled mind
I’m hopeful but not hanging on
I’m ready to be adored
For effortless and self assured
When my broken heart is finally cured
In you I felt a kindred soul
A guarded one that I can’t hold
You’ve been hurt, I know that much
And I can see, but I can’t touch
I was hopeful but I can’t hang on
I’m sad but now I’ll move along
I wish that I could be your friend
I wish that this was not the end…
I’m hopeful, but not hanging on…

Shine

You spent a few nights
Came out with a new perspective
A better outlook
A long, long list of solutions
It’s been a long road
So dark and so dangerous
You had me so worried
All this sadness contagious
If I could walk you through
If I knew what to do
If you only knew
How beautiful you are
I’d part the way if it were that easy
I’d make it clear and draw pretty signs
I’d stay with you until you smiled
Then I’d let go and watch you shine, shine, shine, shine…
I have been cheering for you inside
Knowing you’d hate it if I made a sound
You don’t want attention and I understand it
It’s like being lost, not wanting to be found
I want to shout from the rooftop you’re alright
Instead I’ll sit and breathe relief tonight

Slow Blooming Thing

Words of the wise but who are they?
Unlike me, I’m foolhardy
They say love should be a slow blooming thing
I can’t lie, I’m not blind
I can’t have you looking in my eyes like that
I can’t wait no, I don’t know no slow blooming thing
Slow blooming thing
Slow burning flame
Don’t burn it out
It’s not a game
Slow blooming thing
They say its best to rest
To put true love to the test
Take your time, do it right
Do not rush and do not fight it
Sit back and relax and fall slowly
Slow blooming thing
Take it easy
Take a week off
Slow your thoughts down
Get your work done
Sleep the night through
Take a walk now
Slow blooming thing
I can’t help it
I ain’t patient
I’m so anxious
This is painful
Can you help me with this slow blooming thing
Fight my nature
With this slow blooming thing
Mmmm, mmmm….

Bodies and Birds

Birds know how
To fly to warmth
To fly together
And form a dark cloud
Bodies know
To sleep at night
To hold each other
And wake up in the light
The bodies and the birds
They don’t need any words
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Birds know how
To sing their song
To sing together
And form a morning choir
And bodies know to breathe
