Existence
I wish I was that painting on your wall
You know the one you bought in Chicago two summers ago
I wish I was the paint on that canvas
The colors blending together in a pattern worth seeing
I wish I was your explaination
Pictures so bright flowing from the words you're saying
I wish I was that first choice
The first person you pictured when you woke up in the morning
I wish I was that lucky one
The girl who got to hold you when things got rough
And even if the winter's hard you'd find warmth in my touch
Because perfection exists within our love
And the snow may fall but when it melts...
We've got leaves of green to sooth our doubts
They'll bristle in the wind all day long
A chorus to our own personal song
I wish you were by my side tonight
I've been missing you throughout the springtime
And even though the colors are so bright
I keep thinking about all the things I should have forgot
Like those times we spent curled on my apartment floor
Staring up at the ceiling and begging for more
Speaking of all the places we'd like to explore
And the way you'd turn and reach for my arms
Asking me to always stay strong
Because you needed me more than you let on
I was the reason you could always hold on
But it was me who was never enough
I never meant to hurt you baby
But once those flames were ignited
Theres was no stopping what we both knew
We never intended to hurt one another
And I wish we hadn't had to have
But things get complicated
Things get so horrible sometimes that we just break them
And we think it's the right choice
When in all honesty we're just trying to hide what we really deserve
And I think happiness is our only verb
Because you've always shined brighter than any sun I've observed
And I still picture our wedding day
Despite the vast stretch of miscommunication
I'd do anything to be able to hold that hand
To run through a forest and fall together in the sand
Experience life for what has been given
A life with you is all I've been wishing
So I keep trying to fight those hungry flames
I try to hold on to each syllabol in your name
And I'm standing here with my arms as wide as a plane
Not knowing the diffrence between dreams and reality
Because you exist in every part of me
And my love grows like buds on a tree
I whisper your name in the fluttering breeze
And I think of the way you used to look at me
I can hear the pounding of the stream
Water overflowing to the most personal parts of me
Filling my insides till I can no longer breathe
Only feel every inch of you the envelopes me
And suddenly I just wish I could scream
Scream until every part of me would bleed
Bleed out every single feeling within me
Just so you could see the masterpiece
The amazing work of art that has become you and me
The single beauty locked in a world of beasts
And I wish I could just give you everything
I wish I could give you what you really need
And I hate to think it may not be me
But I keep wishing on a star I have no idea if I'll ever see
Because my love for you is overpowering.
