We had an ordinary start
Texting all day from morning to dark
Couldn’t believe how much we were the same
Made me believe you could love me someday
You listened to my entire catalog
Spoke of us taking a trip to Vermont
Instinct told me to slow down
But something about this just seemed safe and sound so
I threw caution to the wind and
I couldn’t help but let you in cause
I tasted life everlasting
When you kissed me and looked at me like
I was what you needed and
I fit perfectly so
I ignored all the signs
I jumped in headfirst
I jumped in headfirst
I’m lost in thoughts of what we could be
Fueled by your affections you just can’t see
So much about you captivates me but
You seem scared of what you feel and need
There in the woods you felt my heartbeat
Racing like horses as you kill me softly
You saw the depth in my eyes
of my devotion burning inside
I threw caution to the wind and
I couldn’t help but let you in cause
I tasted life everlasting
When you kissed me and looked at me like
I was what you needed and
I fit perfectly so
I ignored all the signs
I jumped in headfirst
I jumped in headfirst
I threw caution to the wind and
I couldn’t help but let you in cause
I felt your heart beat like mine
Racing like horses, speaking to mine so
I ignored all the signs
I jumped in headfirst

Fragments

Times gone by
but I still wait for you
I’ve picked up the pieces
cleaned house, but dream of you
clearly you’re done
and sometimes I am too
but fragments of hope
still dwell within
fragments of hope
still dwell within cause
I have said many
things to you
But one thing I can’t seem to say
is I’m not over you
You don’t wanna hear that you, likely never will
Nothing can bring you back
But I’m still not over you
Fragments of hope
Keeping me up at night
Hunger to hear your voice
Tell me I was right
I’d Give everything away
For another try cause
I led you to think I’m better
without you but
In the darkness I break down cause
I don’t know how to turn you loose
You don’t need to hear that, you don’t relate
Fragments of hope have me holding on vain
You wouldn’t understand, you can’t relate
You are fine with us just fading away
I’m still holding on cause
I have said many
Things to you, but
One thing I can’t seem to say is I’m not
Done with you, still can’t get over you
You don’t wanna hear that, you likely never will
These dreams I have about you
the brokenness I feel cause
I’m still not over you
I still miss you
Think about you every night
First thing when I wake up

Dark clouds above but the
Sun rays peek through
In a field of lilacs but the
Air still smells like you
I followed the trail
Unsure of what I’d find
Unsteady ground
But guided through the climb
It never led to
You
The closer I got the
More you withdrew
Like petals scattering
Drawing me near
Almost in my grasp
Til they all disappear
Never to be seen again
It was everything that I could do
To give you your space
So naive to hope in your heart
I’d have a place someday
It burns sometimes cause I still
Play our favorite songs
Then realize it doesn’t really
Matter anymore
It never led to
You
The closer I got
The Higher up you flew
Like a flock of birds
Dispersing through the sky
Heading home where you belong
Leaving me behind
Never to be seen again
(You’re heading home)
Heading home where you belong
But it’s been a little tough
(You’re heading home)
Heading home where you belong
And I guess I’m not enough
(You’re heading home)
Heading home where you belong
No more standing by
(You’re heading home)
Heading home where you belong
And I’ll be just fine
And I’ll be just fine
