I’m waiting for someone Who I can love wholeheartedly All these failed infatuations Aren’t giving me what I need Every time I get close, their feelings reshape Sending a gust of wind Through the rose clouds in my brain And I’m left on a bridge Between illusion and reality Oh I’m a hopeless romantic Just want to feel love on my lips Hold and to be held Admire and be admired Respect and to be respected Someone to touch my skin See me from within To love me for my mind Look not with just their eyes For it’s the soul that conquers all Send me someone Send me someone Send me someone

Oh won’t you tell me what goes on in your mind It can’t be tumbleweeds all the time Why don’t you tell me something Don’t shrug and say “it’s nothing” I can tell from the look in your eyes That I said something and it crossed a line I swear I didn’t mean to But I know that’s no good excuse Oh the silence can be so deafening Recurring conflict and I’m left wondering How I could’ve avoided it But you can’t control an accident Could you tell me how ‘Cause I’m getting desperate Gambling on emotions but it’s a game I never win A game I never win Oh won’t you tell me what goes on in your mind It can’t be tumbleweeds all the time Why don’t you tell me something Don’t shrug and say “it’s nothing” I can tell from the look in your eyes That you’re angry but you never say why Until it’s too late, but it’s never too late ‘Cause you abuse the fact that I always wait Oh the silence can be so deafening And my patience keeps on weathering Day by day, day by day Don’t know how many more days I have left Until the ropes give, until the ropes give I don’t want to snap at you I don’t want this ship to give way Honey I am the tide, you are the moon Pull us back together, and open the gate Open the gate, I’m so afraid of losing you to the silence So won’t you tell me what goes on in your mind It can’t be tumbleweeds all the time Why don’t you tell me something Don’t shrug and say “it’s nothing” Can you tell from the look in my eyes That I’m tired of slipping on thin ice If you don’t tell me the truth, I’ll never know We’ll keep spinning our wheels and repeat the cycle

A familiar feeling has taken ahold of me A few more days until you’re leaving And I just have to let it be Saying goodbye never gets easier It’s a strange thing, time How it moves through us Day to day and year to year We lean into each other with our sighs A river of tears flood our eyes We are the air that we breathe We are the peace that we seek Every time we must part I hold you closer to my heart So we can stay here for a moment more We lean into each other with our sighs A current of passion keeps us intertwined Funny how a heartbeat Can rumble through the chest to a cavern deep Hold it in the palm of your hand Hold it for as long as you can Release, rejoice Bodies and souls rejoin to melt into one Can I have a moment more? We lean into each other with our sighs The morning rays of sun peer through the blinds Gently reminding it’s time to rise up and start again Thinking of the pace of the day Seems to spin me away Can we lay here for a moment more?

When I think of you I think of home A safe place to rest my head even over the phone I want to be wherever you are Wrapped inside the loving embrace of your arms We don’t have to go to fancy places Simple pleasures are what I really love We can sit together comfortably in silence Being in your company is enough I know you’re not always sure what to say But settling beside the curve of your spine Is sometimes all I need at the end of the day Share with me all that you’re willing I won’t overly pry, just know that I love you And you don’t have to hide You bring out the playful child within me Even when the world tries to test us We can sit together safely inside a daydream And hold on to each other until the waves calm Oh to be with you would be enough
