Forget the world
Begin to breath
Hold me tight
Only to give this setting a little feeling
Captivated eyes
Stare at the ceiling like it has meaning
One deep sigh brings me closer
As I take a walk through your beautiful eyes
I come to the place that makes you smile
It’s the meaning in the meaningless
It’s the fish that fly in the sky
It’s the clouds that crawl across this land
The world complicates the things that you make simple
Then again it’s not the world
It’s just you

In this moment
Your smile bends my heart to the shape of your mouth
I so easily forget how long it’s taken me to get to this place
So Ill keep my hands tightly held behind my back
Cos all ill ever need can be found in your face
If it seems that we are running out of time
We probably are
But this is all I ever wana know
Cos it’s written on the ceiling above
It’s in the fish that fly in the sky
It’s written in your smile
And it’s written in your beautiful eyes

This Is love this is life

This is love
Ships set sail with sails of innocence intact
As the sun sets on the horizon
Beauty is reflected in your eyes
These are the days I will remember
Just me and you
When this world seemed so far away
Loving you was simple
Day turns to black
And the only evidence of this time
Is my memory and a photograph of me and you

This is life
Me lying on the floor
While breathing slowly
With this last breathe
Ill say I love you
Cos you are the only person that has ever been real to me
This distance is distant
And the sounds are almost silent
But this heart of hope holds on
For something or nothing at all

I am far from where I wana be
And I can’t get there without you
Can’t you see how much I need you right now?
Far apart
Like ships that cross everyday but neva meet
I’m scared ill know you
But neva see you again

If I lose you
Ill lose me
And everything I ever hoped to be

This is love
No this is life

Silent in the silence

Look after you my love
Been gone so many days
Feeling like I never left your side
No one gets me like you do
As tears come streaming down my face
I realize that this is a lost love that I will never replace
By Yahweh’s grace will you only come home
To find your final resting place

Say nothing
That leads to do something
If a heart screams out in the face of difference
Its only then: when we are silent in the silence
That we can hear our hearts whisper

I step outside and off the edge of my world
Letting go of everything but you
The only light in the black of this night
Are stars that shoot across the sky
Against a black canvas of empty space
If you are out there I want you to know
This empty space is your place
Ill never give it away unless you choose to

Paper Message Jet

From this height and distance
I watch the city from the edge of this cliff
Passing headlights look like a thousand setting suns
Smoke on distant hills move to the motion of the wind
This setting is perfection yet it remains meaningless
As long as you are not here with me,
Like the stars that fall around me
You’re just as beautiful and just as bright
Even at this distance

In your absence I write for you
In your absence I think of you
These days are cold and my clothes are wet
From standing in the rain
While throwing this paper jet
Time after time I let them go
Hoping that you’ll get the message and let me know

In anticipation and under this moonlight
I cast a shadow across the skyline
When I reach the end of the line
I just hope I’ve found you
Even if its one second before that time
