it went bang, the starting gun
and we both began to run
pounding feet and rhythmic arms
and you never lost your charm
in the stands my friends did cheer
but the only sound i hear
is your voice, oh so close
and you never lost your motivation
the race, the chase
the time is here
for you to choose
for you to near
the finish line
or never cross
but i hope you got
i hope you got
the need, the speed
the want, the greed
to have me close and never leave
and i know you want to run with me
and i want you to chase, i want you to chase me
and your eyes glow over me
and in this yerning i cant breathe
and my heart is gaining pace
so if you really want to race
put one foot in front of
the other and begin to run
now the finish line is near
and you want to end right here
but you know the race is long
and i hope you liked this song
and want to..
to race, to chase
your�time is here
you get�to choose
you get�to near
i hope�cross
�
�and i know you got
i know you got
you can have me clase, take the lead
and i�hope you want to run with me
the music of the sympony
remind me of, yeah you and me
but the sound is gone, the song has passed
you shut the door, this never lasts
why dont you stay?
why dont you staaaay in this place
i will remain
i will remaaain in my place
and i have lived entirely
upon the words you sang to me
but now they mean nothing to me
now you mean nothing to me
and yet
i want to stay
i want to staaaay in your grace
i cant refrain
i cant refraaain from all this
theres so many things that i'dd say if i werent afraid
if i werent afraid
theres so many times that i'vve missed my chance to explain
my chance to explain
all of the feelings i have kept
under the rug and table set
i want someone to hold me now
to give me love, to show me how
to smile like i did when i was a child
how to be tame and how to be wild
i want someone to give me a rose
tell me the way it was, the way it goes
to tell me what is coming, what is near?
tell me what to hold, what to fear
someone who can kiss me an ocean wave
i want a man who is undoubtedly brave
one who can take a bullet to the heart and a surge to the brain
i need someone who holds an umbrella above me in the rain
someone i can run away with, and still feel at home
someone to lay close, so i never feel alone
i want a man who can touch me and ignite my skin
to take me to places that i have never been
i want a man who sees love as a journey, and wants me to come along
i need someone who understands my cryptic rhyme in song
...but most importantly, someone who sings along
again confessing to this blank screen
this blinking cursor, this intimidating object
documentation, of words i strive to select
the words, the combination of words to create...
a smile, how much i wish to translate
just how you make me feel, oh i wish i could do that for you
i would write a thousand words to see your smile... to pursue...
getting to know you, i would give a million lines of rhyme
would recite to you countless words to remind...
....you just how amazing you�seem , how much you inspire
...me even more...every day i acquire...
more of this feeling, closer and closer
to saying�these things...I'm loosing composure
can't hide a thing, i'm�trying real�hard
it isn't easy loosing your gaurd
but as afraid as i am
i'm quite alright with this unknown land
just tell me where i stand
[wasted boy, wasting my time]
ill attempt to captivate
the boy, in his inebriated state
that once again he fell upon
"come home babe, it's almost dawn"
ill call just to the hear the tone
of his voice, he's on the phone
slurring words and telling�lies
not exactly a suprise
he tells me�to just�"go away"
he's "coming home" he's on his way
i hang up and the hours pass
he comes home with the empty glass
he stumbles through the awaiting door
i swear, i can't take this anymore
drunken kisses, well he tried...
to look at me with those bright blue eyes
apologizing that he missed out date
he says he "lost track of time and it got real late"
excuses flow like countless drinks
that he had, gave me time to think
how many times i have waited
for him to come here, intoxicated
i think he needs to get some help
i care too much to watch him poison his self
wasted boy, wasting my time.
not finished, just written
i write these words on this page
i let my mind re-arrange
i let the ink just flow
i let my body go
it happens automatically
just like this fire inside of me
cant tell my temperature to drop
cant tell my heart to stop
...stop feeling this way i do for you
cant stop this hot persuit
im catching up to you
just slow, slow down
down the drain.
i stepped into the shower
i tried to steam away your power
over me, and over my heart
trying to wash away my pain.
letting these tears go down the drain
you fooled me right from the start
�mascara running down my face
i want u out, gone without a trace
...of you or how you treated me
is this how u want it to be?
�i�have never felt so damn alone
you just had to make me cry on the phone
telling me that i was nothing to you
is this really what you want to do?
�this soap dosent seem to be working
the pain is still here, my heart is jerking
up...down...and to the tiles around
down...down the drain in the ground
show me where to go
this one really isnt about anyone or anything it just sorta came out
your words, render me standing
in a place, in a time i want to be
i am.. so content, i know i am
certain this is where i want to go
assured now this is the path i want to roam
i have never gone in such a way, no directions
blindfolded in such an array of affection
you are my navigation
can i stay with you?
show me the way
to find your heart
i want to stay, bestow your love in my hands...depart..
depart into this foreign land, the only place i want to be
is by your side, hand in hand
in the arms of the only one who understands
me and everything i represent
in such a way, in such extent
..never felt so safe as when i hold you close
there is really no way to explain, i suppose...
you were just what�i was waiting for...
on this road to unknown i want to explore
in this direction, in your direction
tell me the answers, all i need to know
...to find your heart
bestow your love in my hands... again...
