you and me

when i think about you and me

i think of a boat lost out at sea

the storm is wild and getting worse

can we just put it in reverse

when i think about you and me

i hear a beautiful melody nearing its end

the track is stuck because you're my best friend

listen to the sound grow quiet and soft

let's just close our eyes

you and me

we are like rows of empty fields

i am a tree that cannot feel

you are hidden in the ground

and i stand here while you drown

but you and me

are the clouds in the vast sky

the lavender and comfortable sky

just waiting for the stars

to trap us in our happiness

when i think about you and me

there is no way i could settle

i am the stem and you are the petals

hang on tight and i will be your anchor

and though you'll never see

that we are perfect harmony

if you'd just hold me down and eat my eyes

my sad and true and honest eyes

when i think about you and me

i am hopeful and i am happy

as your head rests on my chest

i am hopeful and i am happy

captivating

when the butterfly flies all the colours are extra bright
helping to navigate through the night
when winter comes and the butterfly dies
i hope the colours settle into the snow so white
drowned out with wood and nails
chipping away at all the details
soaked hues let us know it was there
tracks covered over, stop a bit and stare
what beauties could be waiting in the shadows
the simplest of noises nobody knows
see it through the downpour, taste it in the air
tracks covered over, stop a bit and stare
