There's a sturdy clutch to the air about you
A little harder to breathe, a little more to take in
Distinct in your everything, as modest as can be
These things about you are always so charming to me
A bit light-headed in your presence, I apologize
I'm sorry for these sorry's and everything in between
Through a stubborn mule such as I, you try and you try
The beauty of your actions is what keeps me awake or alive
You keep smiling for me, reinforcing and believing
And I just can't seem to speak my gratitude freely
What I deny and what I may doubt,
a girl such as you is there to lend a prayer
Through your touch and your occasional stare
These lips of yours are what I'm in need of
The possibilities considered were just cast aside
Weathered and withering in the back of our minds
But here we are, and I think it's safe to say
That you and I together are doing pretty okay
And I'm in dire need of a good way to express
These things that are pushing their way through
And I'm trying my damndest, in my distress
But I can't say much more than that, I love you.
And I'll do my best to keep your eyes on mine.
