The Anatomy of Warm

While I sit here dreaming like I have for years.
And my heart keeps beating: there are no real tears.
And I’ve found a quiet place for to keep my fears.
While I stay warm and safe outside,
I’m warm and safe outside.

And I hear this whisper, but it’s just a word.
It might not mean a thing, or it might mean the world.
So I’ll stay here hoping I can find a way,
To light a little candle in the dark of day.

All I ever wanted was to hold some hand,
To spend an hour floating in a sea of sand,
While the ocean moves and ripples in its gentle way,
It’s the time that keeps me running,
No I won’t escape.

And you sit there staring but its hard to see,
Are looking at the wall or looking into me?
So I take another moment to arrange myself.
I can’t prove that I’m worth it
But I can try like hell.

I’ve never had more reason to stay standing still.
How you make me want to run from the anxious chill.
Why every time I wander I end at your door.
Now every time you come I only want you more.

All I ever wanted was a long-time friend,
Who didn’t need to hurry and would play pretend,
And you have no need for worry now you’re on your own,
It doesn’t take a child not to be full grown,
At least we’re not alone.

And I might start crying in a couple days,
And I might start breaking if there’s too much pain.
And I might start fighting if I feel a chain,
But for now we’re warm and safe inside,
We’re warm and safe inside.
