For you to be happy
is what I desire
I think you'll be crappy
until I retire
I know I should leave you
cause you cant leave me
Ive lied and decieved you
yet still want us to be
I havent a clue
as to where we should go
If you get a notion
then just let me know
I know you dont trust me,
or want me alone
I know you dont lust me
or like when im home
I dont know what we need
we might need a break
but im scared that that might be
yet another mistake
As our water rises
we'll build our bridge higher
I'll pick up the slack
when you start to tire
I'll paint the sky black
when you need to sleep
kissing you softly
while i softly weap
finally blackness and peace shall take over
your troubles and worries are no longer sober
Intoxicated, mistrewn, caught up in your dreams
where nothing is normal or quite as it seems
inevitably, fading for daylight once more
but the pain will be lesser than the night before
for while you were resting
and feeling so safe
I was building our bridge high as heavens and space.
I'll build a dam, and more bridges and walls
blocking the water from making more falls
and if the sea rises to where we cant swim,
ill build us a boat and well float with a grin
the stars are above us,
the winds at our back
breezing us softly to forever black.
