You’re screaming at me through the kitchen door
I’m not quite as pretty as the one before
Her ripped blue jeans keep staring at me
In trouble again for the way I clean
The neighbors complain every time we fight
And I’m not quite sure if I ever was right
He won’t throw away her damn blue jeans
Got the ghost of his ex in the house with me
You beg every time for another chance
Say you will change and be a better man
Can’t count the times that I’ve forgiven
Your endless lies and promises broken
Finally lit a match to those jeans of hers
Cracked a smile as I watched them burn
The flames turned a pretty shade of red
Almost the color of my favorite lipstick
Gathered my things and heard you shout
Mean angry words that I tuned out
Caught the first ride and waved goodbye
To those damn blue jeans and my old life
Verse 1:
How long have I waited for you?
All my life, I've never thought
Of a love like this.
The first day we met,
You came into my life so suddenly
That this love crept up on me.
Chorus:
Little did I know
That this love has me thinking:
"Love is worth living for now
'Cause I have someone to share it with.
Also, someone that understands me
Better than anyone else in the world"
No one but you will do.
Verse 2:
How long have you waited for me
As I quietly wait for you
To make a move and
Just take a chance on us?
Believe on what is real.
Skip the dramatics.
Let's leave the dramatics behind.
Bridge:
I hate to break hearts,
But, I know that
Your eyes speak of our love.
They won't ever lie.
Am I that blind for
Just realizing how
You felt for me all along?
Verse 1:
Right now, I want to
Run to you.
Press your lips against mine's
While holding you
In a powerful embrace.
So, won't you run to me?
Chorus:
Everything has changed.
I want to run to you.
If only you'd feel the same.
I want to run to you
If you know that
We are better together.
Verse 2:
I could not say that
We were better apart.
Right now, I want to
Run to you
And hold you in my arms.
Won't you take me home?
Bridge:
I am always here, waiting.
Even now, I am waiting...
Like a fool that
Wants to run to you.
Won't you think of me
As I run to you?
Right now, is the right time.
I will run to you.
I would like to tell you
how glad I am that we are not stable
we are building splinters
do you know
how many things were built that no one thought would break?
Thank you
for being my unknown
my steady unstable.
I lean and the rock gives way
and you are there to catch me.
I make a boat out of my love lies
I still hold them but I have met them in hallways
and really they’re less terrifying than I thought they would be.
I name it and throw it and call it freedom
flying with the running water.
I would like to call myself a writer but I have nothing to give you.
Nothing but this.
Beating Heart Part 2
Verse 1:
I can feel your heartbeat
Whenever you are with me.
Little did I know
That this would be
My first and last love.
You’re everything I need and want.
Chorus:
Even if I fall in love
With somebody else,
You’re my everything.
No one else compares.
It just won’t work out
As much as we love each other.
‘Cause this beating heart
Is your’s to keep.
Verse 2:
I get tired of waiting.
We both met when
We were young.
It felt right.
Everything fell into place.
‘Cause this is our love story.
Bridge:
When I first met you,
I felt like I knew you.
It was so natural
For both of us
To be together.
Don’t let me go
‘Cause this beating heart
Belongs to only you.
Beating Heart Part 1
Verse 1:
With each and every beat of your heart,
I can feel your heartbeat aligned with mine’s.
This beating heart yearns to become
Your’s to keep.
Won’t you take me home tonight?
‘Cause I cannot sleep without you
In my presence.
Hold me tonight,
‘Cause tonight, I’ll be eternally your’s.
Chorus:
I never had a love like this before.
Stop your foolish ways of
Pushing me away.
These walls you’ve built up
And the defenses you put up,
I’ll wait for you forever and a day
Because you are my everything.
I cannot do this without you.
Love without restraints.
Love unconditionally.
Verse 2:
Can you take on my demons?
Tell me, if you could love me.
This beating heart
Aches to embrace you.
Now, our beating hearts
Have become one
With reality and time.
Won’t you take me home?
‘Cause I’m always there for you.
Bridge:
Can’t we try again?
Can’t we love again?
Why must these feelings summon our ending?
Our demise is we feel everything
When it is too late to turn back.
Someday, this beating heart
Will become your’s
Once you realize the errors of your heart.
If only your heart could see me now.
You can be my kryptonite
You can bring my downfall
Bring me to my knees
Pull the energy out of me
You can be the fire
That finally consumes me
Weakness or ecstasy
You could be my kryptonite
