You

You

Every time I look back
I always see her
In my thoughts and life
She is someone I'll always remember

What is it about her
Her voice, her face
Her personality, her eyes
Until the end of the earth I'll chase

The times I wish I could be her hero
The thoughts about her that make me smile
Have I truly moved on from all this
She has me trapped and left immobile

I'm stuck in thoughts with her inside
But where am I in these thoughts
I wish I could be in hers
But those are things that can't be bought

Maybe I won't feel like this forever
But she's making me completely lost
I don't know if she's right or wrong for me
She's always making my heart defrost

Close Your Eyes

Close Your Eyes

In the dark
It's when we truly see
When we can't judge
The minds of the free
We all want to be free
Something longed for always
Inside my mind I'm not trapped
I will be fine as long as it stays

Close your eyes
What do you see
The real but distant reality
Of who we are
And who we want to see
But what we're meant to be

We have things
We're supposed to see
And we have things
That we see anyway
Why see with your eyes
When your heart works better
Why hear their cries
And follow the trendsetter

Close your eyes
What do you see
The real but distant reality
Of who we are
And who we want to see
But what we're meant to be

We are walking blind with eyes that aren't really open
We keep stumbling again and again
Eyes will judge all the time
And they will be wrong
They will see what our hearts don't care about
Driving is crazy until we scream and shout
When really there is a star in front
And our heart knows how to hunt

Close your eyes
What do you see
The real but distant reality
Of who we are
And who we want to see
But what we're meant to be

Infinite Recurrence

Infinite Recurrence

Once, twice
It just keeps happening
Why don't you see
You can stop this

Once, Twice
Will you ever learn
It won't fix itself
You should stop this

Once, Twice
Only a few times
Because of the pain it brings
You need to stop this

It's just starting
It gets further now
But it's still the same
You should know how to stop

What is this infinite recurrence
That we know the answer to
But can't solve the problem
Will we ever be able

Perspective

Perspective

Do you see what I see
This golden opportunity
Do whatever you can to be happy
And be remembered for eternity
Its half full not empty
Either way it's good enough for me

Why look down
When you could look up
Why take half
When you could take all
Why settle for less
Then you truly deserve

Take what you're given
Don't sit and be hidden
Be known for who you are
For every little scar
Don't be fake
You're not a mistake

This is what I see
When I look around
Everywhere you'll be
Eventually in the ground
But what you did while you weren't will matter the most
You'll always be there as if a little ghost

Leave something behind
Make it bright and beautiful
Make it light paths for others
Completely full, to the brim
So others may see
The glass isn't half empty

It's not even half full
It's completely full and beautiful
Don't you see it
Shimmering in the sun
It's always there
Why can't you see
It's not just me
It's there
Trust me it's there

Coming Home

Coming Home

Walking down the highway
Going 12 miles an hour
All I have is my guitar and soul
And the need to have a good old shower

Walking all around to learn
Seeing things in different views
But things that aren't different from before
It's all about the perspective you choose

Will I ever be coming home
Will I have to walk through Rome
And back to miss what I had
Or like this am I glad
I see light in it all
Even when it's not shining
It's still there
It shouldn't be hiding

Got my blues and got my sadness
Picked it up cause at home I left my gladness
Far away from everything before
Said goodbye and it makes me feel sore

Sore in my heart and sore in my brain
Walking won't take me from the pain
This journey was started with personal gain
But now I just want to be home again

I want to be coming home
I don't want to make it to Rome
Or back, I miss what I had
Like this I'm not glad
I see light in it all
Even when it's not shining
It's still there
It shouldn't be hiding

I shouldn't have left it behind
I should've known what I had
I should've held on to it all
It would've always kept me glad

Now I know my error
It has made me sad
Now I know the solution
I'll see you soon mom and dad

Cause I'm coming home
I didn't even make it to Rome
But I'll make it back to what I had
And now I'll always be glad
I should've seen the different light
Because it was always shining
It's thankfully still there
It's no longer hiding
