Counting Down the Days

You were right

And I don't want to be here

If you're gonna be there

Was that supposed to happen

I'll hold tight

I'll remember to smile

Though it has been awhile

And without you does it matter

There's no room

No place to start

When our souls are apart

I wanna travel through time

See your surprise

Hold you so tight

I'm counting down the days tonight

I just wanna be a million miles away from here

I'm counting down the days

How've you been

It's just the usual here

And days are feeling like years

And every day's without you

Now I cry

Just a little too much

When I think of your touch

And everything about you

I feel cold

I'm in the dark

When our souls are apart

I wanna travel through time

See your surprise

Hold you so tight

I'm counting down the days tonight

I just wanna be a million miles away from here

I'm counting down the days

I'm counting down the days

I'm gonna be your surprise

I'm gonna hold you so tight

letters

i write letters to you all the time...

did you know?

they say all the beautiful things i don't have the guts to say to you out loud.

mostly because i'm scared of your response...

who knows?

maybe i'll get the courage to give them all to you one day.

there's a lot of them...

would you read them all?

i'd love to watch your face while you did...if you did.

you're my very favorite

I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that talking to you is what makes my day/night, even if I'm just listening to you write lyrics. 


Dear Skype, you saved my life. 


Am I being too intense? 


I don't think so. At least I hope not. But I don't think I am.


It's been a year.


That's more than enough for me. 

I can't think of anything much truer than that...

Except maybe: I can't wait to grow old with you, if you'll have me.

Maybe I needed this time away, just so I could come to truly realize, even though I think I already knew...

...that you are everything I could possibly want. 

There's not much truer than that either...

You know you're absolutely gone when you can listen to someone for hours on end and never get bored, no matter what is is you're both talking about...

I'm pretty sure I'll never need to look any further than you.

And I'm quite grateful for that... :)

Paperweight

Been up all night staring at you

Wondering what's on your mind

I've been this way with so many before

But this feels like the first time

You want the sunrise

Go back to bed

I want to make you laugh

Mess up my bed with me

Kick off the covers, I'm waiting

Every word you say

I think I should write down

Don't want to forget come daylight

Happy to lay here

Just happy to be here

I'm happy to know you

Play me a song

Your newest one

Please leave your taste on my tongue

Paperweight on my back

Cover me like a blanket

Mess up my bed with me

Kick off the covers, I'm waiting

Every word you say

I think I should write down

Don't want to forget come daylight

And no need to worry that's wasting time

And no need to wonder what's been on my mind

It's you

It's you

It's you

I give up

I let you win

You win

'Cause I'm not counting

You made it back

To sleep again

Wonder what you're dreaming

Say That You're Into Me

You promised me starry night skies

They just remind me of your shining bright eyes

I'm missing your voice at night time

This separation seems a sad crime

But don't don't don't think think I forgot you you you

Are are are oh so sweet I I I - I knew

If only you were here

Things would be more magical

If I was there

Right now would be more radical

You're so not near

I'm wishing I could place a call

And feel closer to you

The miles of air and road and land

That separate me from all my plans

We're havin' havin' havin' fun

But something something tells me I miss someone

I hope hope hope you didn't forget me

I couldn't forget you

The whole time

I always knew I knew

Say that you're into me

Let me know how it will be

If you don't know just say so

I'll wait til the perfect time

Think of all the perfect lines

I'll make sure if I let you know

We've got movies on our list to see

Things to do just you and me

Calls to make from here to there and back

We've got fun to have and days to spend

Stars to see or just pretend

At least for now just to keep things right on track

Two Weeks in Hawaii

You've got your airplane

And I've got the plain air of here

You're gone, I've gone insane

Oh when will you reappear?

I'm just some new kid

Who can't get his mind off of you

And I know that it's stupid

'Cause you've got Hawaii

And I've gotten no letters from you

I should stop whining

'Cause it's only been a day or two

I don't know what you did

But you got me to fall for you

And I know that it's stupid

Your family's rad and I

Wish that they were here today

But they're thousands and thousands of miles away

And I felt so bad when your mom

Caught us eating ice cream in your

Room at three in the morning

'Cause I'd hate for her

To not want me around her daughter

'Cause my heart stops every time

You've got polaroid

And you even know how to rhyme

I'd be overjoyed

If we could just hang out sometime

I don't know what you did

But you got me to fall for you

And I know that it's stupid

Your drawing's rad and I

Put it on my wall and I

Made sure it wouldn't fall 'cause if it did

My straw wrapper might tear

And there would be no knot and I would

Feel like I'd been shot right through the heart

And I'd fall apart but I'd remember how

My heart stops every time

You are so special

I just hope that we can be friends

I'll wait forever

But I guess that it all depends

On you and yours

So come on and dance with me

You are so special

I hope this makes you smile

And you might stay that way for awhile

'Cause you deserve every grin that you get

And you'll get them a lot from me

You are so special

I just hope that we can be friends

I'll wait forever

But I guess that it all depends

On you and yours

So come on and dance with me

You are so special

And my heart stops every time...

Vanilla Twilight

The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you

Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere

'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly

But I'll miss your arms around me

I'd send a postcard to you, dear

'Cause I wish you were here

I'll watch the night turn light blue

But it's not the same without you

Because it takes two to whisper quietly

The silence isn't so bad

'Til I look at my hands and feel sad

'Cause the spaces between my fingers

Are right where yours fit perfectly

I'll find repose in new ways

Thought I haven't slept in two days

'Cause cold nostalgia

Chills me to the bone

But drenched in vanilla twilight

I'll sit on the front porch all night

Waist-deep in though because

When I think of you I don't feel so alone

I don't feel so alone, I don't feel so alone

As many times as I blink

I'll think of you tonight

I'll think of you tonight

When violent eyes get brighter

And heavy wings grow lighter

I'll taste the sky and feel alive again

And I'll forget the world that I knew

But I swear I won't forget you

Oh, if my voice could reach

Back through the past

I'd whisper in your ear

Oh darling, I wish you were here
