Strawberry Lemonade

mid day dreaming
untold visions
new melodies surrounding my head
brand new sunrise all around me
flashing shades of purple and red
sunlight came in through my window
golden rectangles all in my bed
you were there all around me
too wonderful to comprehend
time creeps and crawls like ivy
your fingerprints are anywhere at all
only ever have faith in what you can be
life is too short to not stand tall
smile with me
cold air felt sweet like strawberry lemonade
treehouse sunset on the hillside
i'll tear down my barricade
fly out tonight, hear me whisper:
"you know i can barely wait"
unsure future, silent present
i think it's better if you stay

Sultan of Schwinn

you've got a new schwinn bike
you've got all ten speeds
you've got all nine lives to make it up to me
i won't bother you by telling you how to be
i'll make it up to you if you make it up to me
big yellow schwinn bike taking you place to place
i don't know you enough to ask you "how's your day?"
i won't bother you by asking you who you are
i'll try not to fly past you when i'm driving in my car
eating a bowl of cereal hoping that my stomach will settle
anxious and nervous thinking of what would happen with my foot on those pedals
maybe i'll never be all that i thought i would be by the time i was 18
maybe there's nothing more for me
i've got a new schwinn bike
i've got all ten speeds
i've got all nine lives
and more than i'll ever need
it won't bother me to never know who you are
it won't bother me if I never go that far
you've got a new schwinn bike
you've got all ten speeds
you're riding faster now that you're riding away from me
i won't bother you by begging you to stay
i'll look fondly at you as you drive away

Washed Out

remember i only had one day left?
only had one more kind word left for you
remember i sat next to you?
i felt i had so much to prove
a perfect day won't get washed out
your golden eyes won't bleach
the primrose often sings of you
and it tells me not to blink
my mind can't but return to you
when you are out of reach
magnolias are singing of who you are
they pull us back from the brink
i fell asleep in your front seat
it was dark and colder than we thought that it would be
if silence is golden, then we've got all the karats
i kept my distance when it's what you asked for me
i can't blame you for not always wearing your heart on your sleeve
your perfect words won't get drowned out
a golden heart won't fail
camellias are singing of who you are
sketched hands sent in the mail
my mind can't help but return to you
i'm following after your trail
magnolias are singing of who you are
the smell of flowers never stale

Postcard

say a prayer for me, and I'll say a prayer for you
my fear of heights is affecting me
please give us a minute or two
we couldn't fit inside a postcard
i couldn't write all those thoughts down
i had a vision once of new york
and it was nothing like how it looks now
i wasn't dressed for the snowfall
i froze outside all week
we got warm inside the church hall
all the no's had made us weak
god is alive and well in new york
he is everywhere i go
i should've held onto those moments
i should have kissed you in the snow
in central park trying to find my courage
it just felt like i was scared
in the summer i think of the future
i know i should not care
i know i'll never care
i'm falling down!
i don't fall in love!
please follow me wherever i go
i'm falling down, i'm falling down
i'll follow you wherever you go

Golden Hour

|
bathe me in golden light
keep me in your sights
turn away from all that is unkind
i'll pay attention, i'll keep you in mind
it's not too much to ask
look at me in golden light
i'll see you through god's eyes
i'm always myself around you in those times
i never have to wear a disguise
i never have to wear a mask
look at me in the golden hour
i can't say what's on my mind
give me some time to collect my thoughts
the perfect words are hard to find
i'll say it when the sun goes down
