Unwound, Unbound

Written August 25th, 2008

March 22, 2009: I just fixed this one! There was a TON of type-o's.

The waves
Will crash down on our arms
They will carry away our hearts
Tangled up and lost in the middle
Of nowhere and everywhere
All at once
Cause our hearts
Filled with faces and feelings
Are bigger than all our worlds and words combined
Filled with mixed emotions
Waiting for an explosion
I've become your flotation device
Per my own device

Ropes, unwound, pull me back
I've fallen off track
With you

I never thought I'd go down this road
Would've thought I'd go down this road?
I never thought my own feelings would be
Unknown to my own heart
It's not your fault, it's not your fault
I've become unbound, I have no longer found
A way to fill your arms

Ropes, unwound, pull me back
I've fallen off track
With you (it's true)

Fill the clouds
With laughter
Let it come down on us
I trust you know what to do
To have it all is to know that you do
It's true
To get you back, to regain the slack
Please don't come unbound from me

Ropes, unwound, untrue, pull me back
I've fallen off track
With you

Ropes, untrue, un-you, I'm under you
Your words, pull me back
I've lost my track back to you

Why The Stars Shine

I'll tell you, I'll tell you
I'm right this time
I've thought it out thoroughly
My darling, I'd bet my last dime
That I can tell you why the stars shine

I was positive I knew it before
When I found out the truth
I nearly fell to the floor
What's the use, in living
If you can't look to the sky and see the stars shine?

Here's the deal
When you were mine
And I used to look deeply into your eyes
I could see the little white lights (even in the daytime)
Now it's all part of the past, and I no longer see the stars shine

I'll tell you, I'll tell you why
The stars shine
I've tested many theories
This scientific question has become a part of me
The secret lies in the iris
The door to the soul, your soul, my soul
My darling, someone once told me
They could see
Little white specs in my eyes, you see
And in that very second, it all made sense
The stars in the sky
Shined the second your eyes met mine
