I miss you and it’s been twenty years And it’s been quite a few since I cried tears But I remember standing with you In the morning dew Looking out on the fields With nothing to do Or seeing you gaze At my eyeline As I video recorded The light that you shine Now you’re just a photograph Paper thin Is there anything more Than the memory of him To stand on stilts So tall They say time washes away Like a waterfall But I would never want to forget And I remember you yet Me, so small and hardy You the simple net That would catch me when I trip I love you still and that is it Nothing more, nothing less And I know I don’t need to stress About the small things And spirit has wings To take it to the sky It’s just I wish you didn’t have to die I wish I could still hold your hand Have you say that all is grand And that you love me so deep I love you Granda and that’s a promise I’ll keep
He’s full on emo And he’s got my heart I didn’t give it to him He just took a part And stole away Into the night He says it’s cool And I’ll be alright But I’m here listening to Dashboard Confessional and you Are some other where With some other girl While I turned inside out And upside down my world And he just smiled It’s like the lightning crack He just sighed And doesn’t want me back But he paints daydreams In my delusions I’m all psyduck In my own confusion As I try to get close But it’s like trying to catch a frightened ghost As he comes near and then far away And I’m at a loss for what to say Coz he is perfect He’s pristine I’m living the teenage dream At thirty one He still burns like the sun And I feel the heat from over here Is it okay if I call you dear Coz you’re cute and fine And fuckin lovely You rain the showers of clouds That wait above me And I’m here listening to Something Corporate Coz you think it is important And I had earmarked Each page that you wrote I wore down your facebook With all that I quote And it’s ancient with the life You took out west with a new bite And I just smile at my own defiance And you’re all self reliance That can get by by yourself Do you think I could add to your wealth By shoving a note under your door Goodbye means I love you more As I hold back the knot of fist That wishes to tell you I exist But you’ve got a chick And I bet she’s cool I’m yesterday And follow rules So don’t be mad Don’t hate me either Just be glad We swam through the ether And found each other One day on the grass For me at least The feeling last And if you’re truly Down with the kids Could you explain The moment that is As I sigh a grey September Your breath is something I remember So cool and real and hip and dude The beauty that you exude Without even trying And you know I would be lying If I didn’t say Hook, line and sinker I’m more a daydreamer Than a thinker And I always wish for you But I don’t know what I can do To catch what’s mid air The moment is high but I’m there And then come back down to earth I didn’t mean to hurt Your precious and sincere I’m just writing this To say I love you, dear
