from the top you can see the distance
and if you punch a little more
maybe you will see more weakness than you bargained for
i can recognize the feelings of awkwardness and i'm not sure how to bridge the distance of familiar
and digging a little deeper..
i recognize, in the echo that some may ask,
now whose gonna come find you?
there's a theme to the questions i ask.
that is my stamp.
my quest
and repeat plead.
it's times like these that i remember the people in my past and i think of the lightness that they now hold in my eyes
and i recognize the everlasting love i have for them..
my silver town girl (heather c)
who i confessed that i was in love with without looking her in the eye.
i wanted so much to touch her tear drops
as she meandered her way through lost faith
and broken promises.
i wanted so much for her to look me in they eye
but she was bound to turn away
so i didn't even try to tell her my truth that way..
tell me heather,
did you ever listen to the song?
angel falling in the skyline?
i tried to remind you that you were bound to come around..
your silence tells me that you have.
and i am happy for you..
may the days of shiek visiting the bar we frequented be laid to rest...
part two.
why should i stay here?
why should i stay.
i'd be crazy to not follow
follow where you lead.
yeah you-
those (irish) eyes
they tell me.
they tell me
we have been in better places.
the air around us reminds me
that things change
for the better
you started to notice
when once you could not see.
i see you now,
standing there in your resolve and defeat
and bitterness
convincing yourself to move on.
to prove to yourself
that better things existed
despite you being heel deep in the shit that makes
mud look pretty.
you spoke
and somehow were heard by these deafened ears.
i heard you
and i responded
and today we are in love
a year and a half later.
i will never forget witnessing your ephiphany in your driveway-
cars parked in the garage..
you said.
'yeah i will call you'
we are gonna do this!
yeah, we are gonna do this!'
and you were only talking about a dog walk..
but somehow i think you had me fooled.
a dog walk it seemed
but a life was more of what you were convinced of.
baby, despite who's right or wrong
you found your way to me
and that's all i care about.
i've got mad love for you
the unrelentless kind, too.
you won't go far without me.
this i know...
