Love Story

Sometimes my words aren't even close
To describing to you the passion in my heart
I miss you doesn't even come to close
To how this distance feels to me
There's an ocean between us
Yet you're standing right next to me
I take your hand, cherishing this moment
Knowing that despite all I want, you're still not mine
I could say I love you a million times
And still not come close to expressing my heart for you
I hate this waiting game that we must play
Yet if in the end it gets me to you then I'll go along
But I know that I hate not being with you
And I can't wait for our days together

A kiss that lasts forever

A simple gestured shared between us two
My lips pass sweetly onto yours
An instant so tender, so surreal
And in that moment, I knew one day we'd wed.
My only hope is that you felt it to
That our lives would forever be intertwined
Vision of days spent with you now filled my head
Wanting nothing more then to close this awkward distance between us
Do you feel it too?

Lipstick Makes for the Best Autograph

She wrote her name in big block letters like some good times glorious whore on a bathroom stall wall
She walked slowly towards me, her pink lipstick staining a napkin with her number
Her perfume is cheap and offends my five sense as I slowly take her in.
She smiles with cheap, heartless eyes, that speak of a deep longing for something more then the cheap thrill she's offering tonight.
Her words fall like a discordant melody, unpleasant to my ear
She orders another drink, looking an inkling of interest the ceases to cross my face
With no sign of hope in me she moves down the bar, to next possible love
My face a fast fading picture, just another of the many gone before

Reach For The Stars

We're making the most of each day we wake up
Taking time to dance in the sunshine
We are making new paths, breaking new ground
Moving forward and not looking behind us
Life is moving far to fast for us to just sit and watch it fly by
Today is a new day, a fresh start, Yesterday is old new
We have committed to something more the ourselves
To outshine our wildest imaginations
We are stepping out and marching on
We are reaching for the fucking stars

The River of Tears

I could build I river with the tears I've cried and drown myself straight to Jesus
I'd peacefully up the stairway to heaven and meet my maker where the streets are paved with gold
All the pain falling slowly behind as I move to eternity with God
And say goodbye to this world that's treated me poorly for far too long

But God if there's more then let me find beauty in the things that have brought me pain

Canvas Earth

I want to see beauty in everything
To turn tragedy into a happy ending
I want to run around in a grassy field
Fall down and just enjoy the sunlight on my face
Where flowers grow without shame of size or shape
They feel no need to fret about my passing trampling feet
I want to see all creation as something special
The world to spin as some beautiful painting
The painters canvas all around
And yet unnoticed daily by all
The great work of art ever created
Lost to a mass of busy followers
None taking the time to run through the field of flowers
Or stopping just to observe the marvelous beauty all around

The Ocean Plays A Love Song

The moon slowly over the river as we walked along it's sandy shore
Hand in hand, so in love. There wasn't anything else in the world I could ask for
The sound of the ocean our late night serenade
Distant seagulls call out to our little parade
We sit for long hours, just staring at the warm nights moon
A moment shared between lovers, a moment cemented in time
Your head on in my chest, my arm around your shoulder
No words needed as we enjoy each other

I sing a song of love at night
No ears to hear, my praises die
The audience wants more then I can give
Their polite applause offends my sin
I leave the stage and head for the bar
A night routine without a cause
My faith is tired from lack of heart
I've let you down again this night
