if you look at me one more time
with those unassuming eyes
when you’re caught by surprise
I think you and I both will find
that I’ll just slide inside
and let myself drop down on your love.

those first few chords
of a song we’ve heard so many times before,
they manage to say so much more
than my words as waves crashing the shore
of your heart before you walk out the door
taking with you these memories.

and your pride melts away
with each extra moment you stay
you’re there to catch me in case
my eyes close at the end of the day
we’re only trying to delay
the moment when we both fall into dreams.

I know you watched me sleep
and it’s something you’ll always keep
to remember the way I breathe
and in the future I always want to be
the very first thing you see
when you lift yourself from musical dreams.
