"That smile will get you into a lot of trouble"

Those songs that always belong to certain people in our lives
Periods of time embodied in a thumping bass, strokes of the guitar, an enticing voice
Lyrics custom made to memories

Remember our song was on repeat that summer
In my mind it can only be you
And the background to those nights on the coast
As my heart stopped and thundered
The first time your bare skin touched mine

It's lost that edge of meaning after all this time
But there's still the ghost of feeling when it shuffles to my ears

Have you ever listened to somebody freely enough to let them change you

My greatest fear was realized that day
I've put a distance here for my own protection
This something in between
It's selfish and wrong by any standard

You see this external shell as something hard and unforgiving
It is
That's all I'm capable of

And everytime I look at you my beautiful baby girl
I see all my mistakes
How I let you down
The better person learns their wrongs
Does it right next time
But next time scares me because I'm not that better person

I see how strong you are
I won't pretend I understand your fight
I push you away so I don't get another chance to destroy this
All second chances are another way for me to hurt you

I'm a secret, again

The stillness is the worst part
When there's things inside rampaging the leftover void
It's numb in here
When the quiet comes the temptation takes over
At least then I know I can feel something

When you're first starting out forever seems endless



You left impossible prints to follow
How is a mere mortal supposed to dream
When I've already lived the fantasy

Thoughts of you


So cover me but lover please be patient
Loves ancient but not for me
Cause I’m full of love
Yeah I’m full of the above

Like Christmas stays with you
Walk through darkened streets as we lay true
Lights from your heart lead me to you

Still reasoning with time

Snippets and Tidbits
Hints of what we used to enjoy so effortlessly
They wonder how long this can last
Truth is I'd spoon out water from a sinking barge
Just to hear your silence
We'll just use this as a preview of coming attractions
But we'll leave the best parts for the feature presentation

(mixed imagery)
