city girl in the woods...

she's the kind of girl who likes to keep herself busy
lately she's been cutting out patterns that represent the life she lost
she says she feels like she's been handed some sort of second chance to rediscover herself

i'm getting the chance to finally discover her
and i won't say that the years that it took to get close to her where easy to endure
but the time has come and i've got nothing to believe in except that something's telling me my time has arrived

us, ordinary people, we wait, we wish and manifest
for the things in life that best suit us
sometimes we have to take care of our lovers
and sometimes they end up taking care of us
things get heavy on one side
and a little lenient on the other

i can finally say that i've got it down
the part that proves that i'm ready to go right now
if the heat of the sun on our reading bodies is any indicator
of the words i've got lining up in my eyes
then let these words prove the point

i've been waiting for you girl
to find your way to me
and now that i've got a little bit of your attention
i'm gonna choose my words as mindfully as i take you in

eyes, skin, smile with a voice to match
i am paralyzed in between awe and deep appreciation of your beauty
i hope that someday you will notice me the way i notice you
until that time i will wait just as i have been
and discover you discovering me...
