Buoy.
Here I am, with you 8 feet deep
You float in there, I'm scared to dive
You tell me things that are so sweet
So I jump in and I survive
You say "the edge is just too safe"
I say "I'm scared" and float to you
You held me close, a hand on my face
And then we trade a kiss or two
We waded together in the blue
Everything felt right with you
I pray to whatever's there that you don't drift
Because we both know I'll sink down quick
I'd be lighter if these burdens were to deter
But they don't die, they just transfer
How would you like to even things out?
It's me and you, we float or drown
I'm lost in eyes and a voice with a sound
That fills my insides, won't you stick around?
You make me whole
I say "I sleep", you say I dream
I say "I don't 'cause I don't remember a thing"
You say you're strange, I say "me too"
And then we kiss and enjoy the view
I laugh as you talk in your sleep
You think it's weird, I think it's sweet
We meet again later on that day
Nowhere near a pool, but I go deep
Tell me is this real?
Are we here?
Is this just figments or is this pink the true pigment
That I see?
That I feel?
How would you like to even things out?
It's me and you, we float or drown
I'm lost in eyes and a voice with a sound
That fills my insides, won't you stick around?
You make me whole
Here we are again, with you 6 feet
I shed a tear that's bittersweet
How could fate be so brash?
A grey scale world where only the saddest colors splash
A part of me feels you left too soon
The other side knew it wouldn't last
But I hate that it ended this way
I'd kill to have you stay for another day
But it doesn't matter what I say
Because words are never over fate
You left me with that bathing suit
It lies empty in my drawer and never gets full
I haven't touched the water since
Or done any related incident
But every night, I sleep and wish
That you could tell me if it was real
Or just some bullshit
How would you like to even things out?
It's me and you, we float or drown
I'm lost in eyes and a voice with a sound
That fills my insides, won't you stick around?
You make me whole
My burdens I continue to surf the land
Wishing for a master plan...
