Why

Folder: 
2017

you were a shock once two eyes like glowing lights

i sit there turn the pen around you made me think twice

i cross my legs uncross my arms cross t’s and dot the i’s

i can’t say much i think too much i can never tell you why

 

why my hands are prone to tremble when you ask me once again

lean against me take my fingers lead them to your hair and then

i can’t make your words mean more than they ever have been

the fire burns at 4am i sit and know the day should end

 

so many early mornings i love and hate the sleepless nights

i sit there turn the pen around you made me think twice

i cross my legs uncross my arms cross t’s and dot the i’s

i still can’t say much think too much i can never tell you why

 

tell me to stay tell me your secrets i tell you you don’t want to know

but i stand there in a crowd and reach back to where you go

i can’t make the sun rise faster i can’t make him want you home

all i can do is blush and stay you don’t have to be alone

 

my mind is made up but my fingers draw outside the lines

i sit there type the words because you made me think twice

i cross my legs uncross my arms cross t’s and dot the i’s

i still can’t say much so i don’t think and finally tell you why

 

why i wait so long to reach for things and don’t trust what i say

why there’s a magnet in you i can’t seem to stay away

why all you need is one word and i melt and drown and stay

 

why i’m so lucky to be the one to keep you this way
