One More

If i knew it was our last night 

Maybe i would’ve done things different

Just one more touch 

Just one more kiss

I would’ve done anything to make you stay

To make you hold me tight

I would’ve taken back that final blow

“I wish it never happened…”

The one that tore you away

 

Now i don’t know what to say 

You said you needed space

So why does it feel more like a goodbye?

All the texts

All the calls

Do I pretend they never happened?

The late night talks in bed

The stolen glances in the night

Do you pretend they never happen?

 

Maybe if we had one more chance 

One more try 

Maybe this time we’d get it right

No more fights 

No more lies

I'm tired of trying to live this life without you 

I'm tired of feeling this empty space 

 

maybe we can start all over 

pretend we are brand new 

we’ll start of with Hello

we’ll play pretend 

say we’re just friends 

and when we’re ready

we’ll take that leap 

and end up at i love you so

Someday

One day the clouds will stop raining

like teardrops on my face

I will fall asleep in peace

I won't hear you in my head

I won't see you in my sleep

I will wake up and you won't be the first thought there

Someday I will stop thinking of you

Someday I will find another 

And you will be gone 

Make You Happy

Thought we had it going

Made me believe it to be true

But when you walked away that day

I heard “you don’t make me happy like you used to”

Bad Habit

Runnin’ round and round

Never letting go

You pull this way i pull that way

Never letting go

Know i can’t stay but

Never letting go

You’ve got a grip on me that’s 

Never letting go

Trying to catch my breath while 

Never letting go

I can’t breath 

I can’t breath

I can’t breath

​

Please let go

Pretty Picture

She’s sitting on the porch

Staring out at the view

Looking, watching

The way the grass moves

The trees sway and

The birds fly

It’s a pretty picture don’t you say?

No one looks at what’s on, on the inside

When the darkness sets in

And she’s all alone in bed

She sees you in everything she saw

You sitting on the grass watching it move

You sitting under the trees as they sway in the wind

You watching the birds fly high above 

And as she finally falls asleep that night 

She sees

You 

Chapter of You and Me 

Try to tell our story 

You won’t get very far

It only lasted a moment

Maybe enough to fill chapter or two

 

When i look back now

I see what we were

What we could have been

The story was there

But it went unfinished

I try to go back

Pick up what we started

But somehow you got lost in the words

You started to disappear

Your name, your voice, your touch

They got separated from the work

From our first moment to our predictable last

It was the final show for our part of the book

 

Try to tell our story

You won’t get very far

It only lasted a moment

Maybe enough to fill a chapter or two

Night and Day

The sun and the moon couldn’t be more right for each other but we are not them.

We are night and day. You are the blue sky that sits behind the sun and I am the black sky that brings chills in the dark. 

But the stars in the sky brings life to the night like clouds in the sky make things a little easier to look at.

Pieces

I’m waiting here for you to see exactly what you need

You don’t need those girls to fill the space under your skin

Like a puzzle piece I’ll fit right in

Your arms wrapped around me 

It’s like second nature can’t you see
