For you

Baby’s black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
And you’re not thinking about tomorrow
‘Cause you were the same as me
But on your knees

A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon
That was your womb

Comin’ down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone’s prayer

You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never knew
What’s the things they never showed you
That swallowed the light from the sun
Inside your room

Comin’ down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I’ll go on to bring you home
All because I’m
All because I’m
And I’ll become
What you became to me

I can find myself again,
I can look at the sky and smile,
and I dare to dream about the future,
with you here with me.

For all the moments you spent listening to my troubles
and for all the moments you’ve glued the pieces of my broken heart together
and lifted my spirit each time I was down,
for all of them I’m hoping to give you, the rest of the moments that make up my life

I would wish for nothing, than to be your comfort,
and I would wish for nothing than to be your shelter,
and I would wish for nothing than to be your hope,
that each day will be painted with a smile and sealed with a kiss.

There are no monsters left to kill,
and no nights left wondering why,
and no nightmares left to dream,
Ever since you came…

Natural and in the open,
soft yet so decided,
intricate while ever so simple,
You’re everything I thought you’d be

and here i am, lost & without words,
like a child who’s learning to speak
in this maddened state of bliss
I find myself in, each time i think of you

I would give this life, for the perfect day for you
and my eyes, for you to cry no more
and these hands, for you to need no more
and my mouth, for you to thirst & hunger no more,
because my heart, i’ve already given you whole.
