I turned my eyes upon the sea
And laid my bones to rest
The rushing surf then slowly birthed
A ship on high wave’s crest
My neck was craned at such extreme
A cramp set in my spine
And many moments caught in stare
Made vague the passing time
Why sit and ponder yonder ship?
(You may perchance to ask)
Who’s sails—tattered, torn and frayed
Hung limply from it’s mast?
My sweetest lover lost at sea
So many months ago
Had boarded vessel seeming same
Her fate is still unknown

You can’t relax
No matter where you’re at
People see what they want to see
And you just stare right back

For everything that I’ve done
They’ve kept me away from you
I’m sorry never seems enough
It’s built a wall between us two
You know I want to love you
You know I want to hold you
I wish that I had been there
I know I should have been there
You said it wasn’t your place
But if not yours than who’s?
I’m awfully flattered
That you had them call me for you
But don’t you still care for me?
And tell me what is this shit
That I pick up the phone
You say you care
But it’s not you that I’m talking to
Don’t you still care for me?

Arms and legs akimbo
Sitting staring out the window
Of our room
There’s been no indication
That you will be
Coming home soon
Well it’s easy enough for you to say
All I do is fret my time away
My thoughts on you
But you forget that I always
Calm down enough to stop and say
That I love you

I don’t know why
When I fall
I hit the ground so hard
But you’re there for me
And when I’m down
You run and punch
And kick and scream
Through all that’s in your way
And you’re always
On your feet
