Sitting here on top of the world with you,
We watch the flash of rainbow lights go by;
Breathe in and smell the summer rain and funnel cakes;
Watching children run and laugh and play,
All the way down there, like little living dolls.
We are not yet grown up, love,
But we are no longer young like them.
We are from the world in between;
Shifting, changing, constantly growing into ourselves.
As we wait for the night to fall and for our descent,
I wish that you would hold me close,
The way you did when we were small;
Because when the lights go out and the shops shut down,
This world is closed, we can't go back.
I don't feel right if I'm not reminded of all the times I've been wrong.
I can't be whole and complete if I wasn't broken at some point.
I don't want to laugh if you won't also make me cry.
The best dreams I've ever had were nightmares once.
Don't cherish me, don't hold me close to you,
I don't know what to do with love, only pain.
Tell the sun to go away, far away, stop blinding me with light.
Tell the birds that I don't want to hear them sing.
Ask the rain to please fall harder so I have an excuse to cry
Because you just won't give me one, love.
A simple question,
Words falling from your lips;
So sweet, I want them
To kiss me softly.
Why am I afraid
To let you love me
The way no one has before?
What is it about innocence
That I cherish so much?
I cannot let it go,
Even if I wanted to.
It is attached to me;
It won't set me free.
Behind iron bars I watch you;
My hands tied behind my back,
I wait for your decision.
What is there to do with me,
When I want less and you want more?
I can't give you all that you need,
It's too much, too fast,
Growing up too soon.
I just want you to smile,
Holding hands and chasing fireflies,
Laughing and singing and hugging,
Snuggled
