Waiting For Sunlight

You stayed up all night,
Waiting for sunlight
To rear it’s head, your dirty bed
Is overfed and overgrown
And everything I said to you,
Doesn’t mean a thing to you, I know.
But there’s warmth in my heart again,
I’m ready now to start again,
These games I’ve played, the love I’ve saved
Is gaining interests now, I swear
And everything I think about
Revolves around our falling out, I think.

And all this time your tall-told lies are falling slowly
On deafened ears and all my fears are calling out.

But when I pick up sticks and stones,
I play until I warm my bones
And then I think of everything
Before I give up everything
Or I say I do, I swear I do
I think that its time to press forward.
And to everything I’ve ever done
To lovers lost and battles won
I hope you forgive me
To everything I did for you
I screamed until black and blue
I fall over

And all this time your tall-told lies are falling slowly
On deafened ears and all my fears are calling out

And not long ago, you rubbed your nose
On my neck, and your breath would
Brush my hair, and all my cares
Would float away, until the day we
Stopped in our tracks
Mulled it over
One hand on head
One hand on shoulder
And I took your face
Told you darling, I’m—-

Stopped in our tracks
We mulled it over
One hand on head
One hand on shoulder
And I took your face
Told you darling,
I’m done!

Sunlight (Bonus Track)

I’m sad and I’m wanting my wants to be gone
My needs to be filled and an arm to hold onto
It’s times like these in credits of movies
Where couples are smiling and all reminiscing
That I am wanting those wants again
I’m tired of hating them
It’s time to go outright
And step into sunlight again.

So let’s be a light bulb and be bright again
We’ll hold hands and circuits will light up our friends
And what I want most is isn’t your roses
It’s noses and freckles and tickling your toes and
I am wanting those wants again
A friend to live within
It’s time to go outright
And make light in this night again.

So give me a half again,
Wanting to hold a hand,
Every old heart, it wants to be whole again
Found myself drowning in
Waters so cold it seemed
Every heart’s hollow with little between
So make me, take me,
Away from this place I have found myself in.
