maybe a picture.
describes a thousand things said.
and my mind is racing.
maybe it’s all in my head.
i’m tired of numbing.
my mind’s been alone.
now all i know is what i see.
my eyes for you have grown.
there’s beauty there.
that i’ve never known.
something to talk to.
something to want as my own.
and you can take this for what it is.
a song of a girl.
too ashamed to take you.
too determined to shake you.
and too reserved to make you.
mine.

what was said before.
only means more now.
your eyes tear through me.
your arms could teach me how.
to stop believing. that in my state.
you’ll take me farther down.

i don’t know you like i should.
you just sound like heaven would.
so lets stand beneath the rain.
we’ll let the water drown the pain.
and sell the world tomorrow.
in painful smiles and sorrow.
you’ll be mine.
i’ll be yours.

good.
this picture says it all.
and i believe you could treat me.
like my mother said you would.
