Loved Soon

Everytime I think of how you love me
I think I love you more
And when I can't fall asleep without hearing your voice
I dream of you instead

I don't know how this happened
But I know I can't complain
All I know's that I love you
You're perfect and you're all that I want
You're all that I need

How does this work?
You know I've never been here before
I'll do what I can
I just hope it's enough to keep you here

You can tell me your tired
But tell me you need sleep
I need to tell you I love you and mean it,
You're all that I need
You're all that I love

Love means never having to say I love you
But hearing the words, you fall for her all over again.

Kingdom

Have you ever taken a chance, honey?
You ever look inside the mirror and have the courage not to blink...
To feel what's inside and let it be your guide?

Have you ever had a dream, honey?
I never knew what I could become until I saw you
You let me shake these chains, let me free you of yours

All you had to do is believe
I never thought that was all too much to ask
Yet, I'm still clinging to the other side of the door

I've always looked for someone to share my kingdom
When I should've looked for the one willing to protect it's walls
You were in it for yourself, you never cared about me
And I realized it too late... again

It's always the case, when it's a matter of the heart
You have to lose a million battles before you can ever win a war

Sometimes the battlefield feels so empty,
And so it does again.

Will I ever find you?
Everyone tells me once I stop looking, you'll find me...
My luck, I'd be a sleep.

So this goes to you, where ever you are
My heart is yours for the taking
I want nothing for return, as long as you love me, too

I'd give up the moon for just one more shot
That's all you need to turn it all around.

I-80 West

Some nights before I go to bed I cry unto my sheets.
In angst that you are fearing, too, of a love that can't be ours.
I may have thought a time or two of beaus I've lost before.
Happen to us, it cannot, my love for you is sworn.

I dream of nights when we're alone, our future's out of sight.
We lay in bed, and both as one, we dream of the unknown.
Our futures aren't written yet; our choices are our own.
I hope you know no matter what, you'll never be alone.

I dream of nights when I'm alone, my future's in the past.
I was lax all through the present, never knew it doesn't last.
I can't let what I feel today, be miserably bypassed.
Together, I must tell you now, our futures will be vast.

We've both been broken hearted from a long, long time ago.
The way you hold me is all that I need to know.
And it's still late, but I'll always wait through the short night with you.

Each night before I go to bed I look up at the stars.
In hopes that you are dreaming, too, of a love that can be ours.
I know I've thought a time or two of passions lost before.
Hold a candle, they cannot…

It's you that I adore.

The O.M.

You said you weren't here today
And now I'm gonna make you pay
There ain't much left for me to say
So, now I'm going on my way

On... my.. way.
I'm goin' on my fucking way.

You said that you were here to stay
But when I looked you went away
I know my heart my heart feels much betrayed
Can't live my life in disaray

Can't... live.. life.
Can't live my life in disaray.

I've thought of leaving twice before
I couldn't show you the front door
I thought our love was meant for lore
You left me to just be ignored

Left... me.. there
Left me there to be ignored.

These are the last words I will write
My love for you I'll have to fight
I hope your future will be bright
But it's time for me to say goodnight

Say... good.. night..
The last time i will say goodnight.

Passion.
Desire.
One man on his quest for his future.
One man... in the fight of his life.
One man...
...alone

Tired

I'm tired of trying to live my life,
The way you expected it to be.
The dreams you've had since I was born,
Are dreams I'll never see.

I haven't planned my future yet,
The road ahead is clear.
My path has not been chosen,
But why are you overcome with fear?

I'm tired of feeling like shit,
From all of your imperfections.
Just because you fucked up your life,
Doesn't mean I'll fuck up mine.

I have a lot to offer,
But it's hard for me to notice.
Whenever I try and do my best,
My response from you is callous.

So in the end, I'll be alone,
But cry for me I won't.
I'm just tired of being your victim,
When I know how great I can be.
