(Listen to the song while reading for dramatic effect)
**Simple and never where I want to be**
Eyes on the stars and everything in between
Where is she I wonder? Where will she be seen?
I catch her like a storm, like whale on the shore,
Like a cold though my lungs, and her warmth fills my core.
She reminds me of leaves, red with autumn blood,
This girl I have caught keeps me trapped in this mud.
Eyes on the old worn notes
Past through so many times, wiped away the tears,
Washed away those fears.
Many times I wish myself dead, usually those days I find
myself in bed,
With that similar ach in my head: reminding me of the days
we left unwritten
Those days we never met.
Eyes on the drug like pictures,
So weathered with pain,
Laughter that always had, and always will, keep me sane.
I thank you one last time, but many more times will follow,
For the good times worth the pain,
Good times that get me through tomorrow.
Eyes on the memories and everywhere between
