Sunsets and Lullabies

Time
just like the weather
keeps moving on
Love
much like the ocean
is always coming in and going away

But you said to me in no certain words
I’m never leaving
This nights gone much too fast
for me to explain

You said
Watch the sunset with me
Lay your head upon my heart
make me laugh
Just like you did last time
Sing a song for me
make it sweet so I will cry
and not forget
this night
-
Her eyes
like a car
they go right through me
and this time I cant recall
what I was thinking
when I told her
she didn’t have to stay


But you looked at me with those big blue eyes
And my heart just nearly leapt out of my chest

She said
Watch the sunset with me
Lay your head upon my heart
make me laugh
Just like you did last time
Sing a song for me
make it sweet so I will cry
and not forget
this night

Three things I know I’m scared of
Love, snakes, and goodbyes
please don’t leave me
just stay with me and feel the morning sky

She said
Watch the sunset with me
Lay your head upon my heart
make me laugh
Just like you did last time
Sing a song for me
make it sweet so I will cry
and not forget
this night

Just Like Me

Its been so long
Since Ive been home
Maybe someday
I’ll come back around

Still I am so careless
with my happiness
cause Ive put all my hope
in this lie they call love

And all the Kings horses
have been put out to graze
And all the Kings men
drink their sorrows away
Just like Me

Tomorrow always comes
like the notes from a symphony
but I just cant hear them
cause you wont leave

And its not the same
now that your around
So I’ll hold you close
as I fall back down

And I cant remember what you said last night
But I can only guess it wasn’t nice
Maybe I'll forget about it one day
Then again maybe I won't
