grounded

you're a falling star. you're the getaway car. you're the line in the sand when i go too far. you're a swimming pool on an august day, and you're the perfect thing to say. and you play it coy, but it's kinda cute. and when you smile at me you know exactly what you do. baby, don't pretend that you don't know it's true. cause you can see it when i look at you.

there are better things ahead than any we leave behind.

your face, it dances and it haunts me
your laughter's still ringing in my ears
i still find pieces of your presence here
even after all these years ♥

take me away.

i've only got forever and forever is fine. 

just take your time, 

we'll stop the clock together 

and know that the timing was right.

we grew up way too fast
and now there's nothing to believe
and re-runs all become our history

& if you close your eyes, 

we'll always be the way we were that night.

so sleep darlin'

how could you pretend 

we were just a dream?

it's cool baby,

it doesn't matter anyway.

we can't waste too much time missing something or someone from the past. 

we accept that life's never constant; things change and people grow apart. 

yet we can't stop thinking about how good it used to be; 

afraid that we'd never experience it again, 

afraid that we've already lived it and lost it.

stick around, please?

you & i are just on opposite paths, 

on different roads; 

& we are heading farther 

& farther away from each other.

when you find everything you looked for, 

i hope your life leads you back to my door.

♥ ♥ ♥

when things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always get worse. 

& when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better.

& i knew.. that you meant it.

the moon passes into and out of its phases, 

flowers bloom in spring and stars fall from the skies. 

life simply goes on.

the fray

for now it's when i hold her,
we are closer. 

picture,

 you're the queen of everything

as far as the eye can see...
under your command
i will be your guardian,
when all is crumbling...
steady your hand.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

it's always have and never hold,
you've begun to feel like home.
what's mine is yours to leave or take,
what's mine is yours to make your own.

♥ ♥ ♥ do not get me wrong, i cannot wait for you to come home.

for now you're not here and i'm not there, it's like we're on our own.

if i say who i know it just goes to show
you need me less than i need you
but take it from me, we don't give sympathy
you can trust me trust nobody
but i said you and me we don't have honesty
the things we don't want to speak
i'll try to get out but i never will

this traffic is perfectly still.

sometimes the hardest thing & the right thing are the same♥
