Sun is rising, mood departing: tragic
Maybe I’m wrong, maybe we both are
Depends who really you’re asking
Between my mind or my heart
Am I being too weak when you call;
And come running far too easily?
Girl, where you taking me today;
Should I stay, should I follow blindly?
I know both of our former lives are littered
With broken mistakes we’ve both made
Trusting unworthy people who hurt us
But, we’re not them- and it ain’t back then
And I hear everything you’re saying
But sometimes I just don’t understand
Like the way we’re always speaking evasive
In silliness when talking about things
Never making them real enough to matter
In more than a few daily conversations
Second guessing yourself won’t do
Rechecking a growing list of conditions
We don’t need builtin escape avenues
To run away from what we’re feeling
And I don’t like guessing games at all
If you need more time, set me aside
Go back and do what you gotta do
Lets not love each other or not in half truths
I’d rather know for sure before I fall
Even though it maybe too late for that now
And the landing maybe harder than I want
What I’m saying girl, when it comes to my heart
Everything said or not, makes a difference to me
What you say, and what I think you mean
May never come together in a lovers reality
Giving me no sense of direction, I’m blind
Why can’t we just simply speak plainly
Girl I’ve said, I dream of holding someone
That’s real and understanding from the heart
Someone that moves me without any effort
A woman, that loves a man like me honestly
Someone who want to live love, like breathing
In all those every days we spend together
someone more than something abstractly painted
Sometimes it feels like I’m holding on to empty
So know when it comes to love, girl
I just want to fall together…into one dream
