Girl let me love you for a long time All day everyday not just sometimes In the darkest of days you’re the sunshine I wanna put a smile on your face for a lifetime I want to wake you every morning with some kisses on your face Breathe the scent of you in and put my arms around your waist So you can start out every day inside of a loving embrace And understand that you are valued and could never be replaced You caught me by surprise with our first kiss And every kiss that we’ve had since, I can’t resist The urge to finally have some faith cause I cannot dismiss All the happiness I taste whenever I kiss on your lips You’ve got me ready to commit I know you’ve been hurt, love fell apart on you before They mistreated your heart, they dropped and dragged it on the floor I’ve been there too, I once thought mine could never be restored Till I met you and now it’s stronger than it ever was before And so I fell in love, didn't know it could be done I'm suddenly in love So girl let me love you for a long time All day everyday not just sometimes In the darkest of days you’re the sunshine I wanna put a smile on your face for a lifetime I want to be there every evening after hard days at work Be that ear that you seek during times you feel concerned Be that hand that you hold when you’re singing songs at church Be that stable rock you stand on while you’re living on this earth You caught me by surprise on our first date It felt like grace, I’m now awake, I’m loathe to waste Another moment here without you cause this feels like fate We hesitate when we’re accustomed to restraint I do not mistake the stakes, I’m tearing down my walls and gates I’ve been hurt, love fell apart on me before They mistreated my heart, they dropped and dragged it on the floor I’m just like you, I once thought mine could never be restored Then I met you and now it’s stronger than it ever was before And so I fell in love, didn't know it could be done I'm suddenly in love

My favorite pastime is now lying in bed next to you We’re streaming anime on Crunchy Roll, Netflix, and Hulu And yes I do enjoy the other things that we get up to But sex has always been around and this is something more profound The way you squeeze my fingertips releasing all my stress The way you run your hands through all the hair upon my chest The way you sigh contentedly whenever you lie next to me These are the kinds of things that I’d make songs of in the past But I don’t know if I should write another love song If it’s not sad it somehow seems like it would feel wrong And that’s too bad because you’re so much more deserving But my heart is still emerging and fixated on what’s hurting So I don’t know if I should write another love song If it’s not sad it somehow seems like it would feel wrong And that’s too bad because you’re so much more deserving But my heart is still emerging and fixated on what’s hurting And I don’t think you’d hurt me, at least not purposely Am I so fucked up that I’ll run when someones good to me? I’ve been so badly damaged, we’ve never talked about it But the more I feel the more my heart tries to become robotic So when you’re good to me, I freeze I don’t know what to say It’s hard to reciprocate in moments when I feel afraid I’m holding back those fears, fighting the urge to disappear I’m sorry this is not romantic but at least it’s all sincere Cause I don’t know if I should write another love song If it’s not sad it somehow seems like it would feel wrong And that’s too bad because you’re so much more deserving But my heart is still emerging and fixated on what’s hurting So I don’t know if I should write another love song If it’s not sad it somehow seems like it would feel wrong And that’s too bad because you’re so much more deserving But my heart is still emerging and fixated on what’s hurting It’s still emerging, it's still emerging

Hurt me if you want I won’t even care I’ll marvel at the pain and the fact that you were there Cause I swore you were a dream You’d be gone when I woke up I thought romance was for kids and I’d long ago grown up Cause I’ve owned a robot heart Frayed wires and gears all bent Encased inside a chest That was built out of cement But you poured right through my walls Your warmth a rising tide Till I could hear a heartbeat That I’d long ago denied But I give nothing or I give it all I never learned about temperance or how to break my fall I always dive chest first or I don’t jump at all I’ve cracked so many ribs, it’s hard to breathe at all In the hours I’m not with you I still daydream all about you Picture us pressed up together, intertwined, hearts content, purpose aligned Smiling, laughing, breathing, finally able to exhale all those fears asphyxiating us for years But we have learned the dangers of trusting The pain of giving everything but being left behind with nothing Anxiety has got my head reeling But it can’t hold back this feeling I’m on the edge and I am jumping Cause I give nothing or I give it all I never learned about temperance or how to break my fall I always dive chest first or I don’t jump at all I’ve cracked so many ribs, it’s hard to breathe at all I never learned about temperance or how to break my fall I always dive chest first or I don’t jump at all I’ve cracked so many, many ribs it’s hard to breath ya'll

My sadness takes the form of emptiness I wish that I had known that our last kiss was our last kiss I would have tilted your head back and breathed deep inside your neck Kissed you long and hard and soft, the kind of kiss that leaves you wrecked Just like the movies, just like we used to When we were brand new and still dreaming of a future But now that’s gone, we’re not even in the present Now I’m left here feeling empty like I’m on antidepressants Where did it go, all the hope we used to hold Back when we were so excited and our fears under control Where did it go, all the hope you used to hold When did fear take your heart hostage and demand that you withhold The love you used to give me, so freely and so deeply So recklessly and sweetly, it filled me up completely Where did it go, all the hope I used to hold No I’m back here on my cell phone playing left swipe/right swipe/scroll My sadness takes the form of emptiness, I wish that I had known that our last kiss was our last kiss My sadness takes the form of emptiness, I wish that I had known, I wish that I had known I wish that I had known that you’d stop answering your phone cause I really can’t condone going ghost to be alone I wish that you had told me all the fears you had in person, that you were feeling so uncertain, that anxiety had burdened your soul That you felt trapped in a hole, that you were building a wall, to get away from it all, cause now I’m feeling small and going into withdrawals, I miss you so much it hurts, I miss you so much it hurts My sadness takes the form of emptiness, I wish that I had known that our last kiss was our last kiss My sadness takes the form of emptiness, I wish that I had known, I wish that I had known That the worst case scenario is unlived potential, is our love not essential? Was this just experiential, cause to me it’s quintessential, the truth is evidential, its intensity torrential, your heart is reverential to me, I hold it cautiously It’s much too beautiful and wondrous to treat casually You’re much too beautiful and wondrous to treat casually I’m much too beautiful and wondrous to treat casually Where did it go, all the hope we used to hold Back when we were so excited and our fears under control Where did it go, all the hope you used to hold? When did fear take your heart hostage and demand that you withhold The love you used to give me, so freely and so deeply So recklessly and sweetly, it filled me up completely Where did it go, all the hope I used to hold Now I’m staring at my cell phone but I don’t want to move on I’m much too beautiful and wondrous to treat casually You’re much too beautiful and wondrous to treat casually We’re much too beautiful and wondrous to treat casually We’re much too beautiful

I don’t know if you were lying to me or were just lying to yourself Or if you’re still out there lying, or just lying with someone else Don’t know if you made a smart decision or just acted out of fear I don’t know if you really loved me or just needed someone near Don’t know if you wish that I would call you or you’re glad that I don’t try Don’t know if you just needed some time, or if you think I’m the wrong guy Because you wouldn’t fucking tell me, you just looked at me and cried And that shit kills me inside, makes me angry with the most high Cause he and I we reconnected, it was not something expected But I respected your perspective and the set you represented So I opened up my heart, plugged direct into the sky I asked questions of the universe and the universe replied It said, "Love is the right answer, even when it’s wrong Love will never make you weak, it can only make you strong Fear is not your home, so go back where you belong Cause love is the right answer, even when it’s wrong” Love is the right answer, even when it’s wrong I didn’t expect to be positioned to be writing compositions About the pathways of forgiveness and lamenting your decisions But I’d allowed myself some visions of my goal posts repositioned Of curbing my ambitions and embracing old traditions, like marriage Yeah that was something that I thought of a lot A future where we stayed committed and I gave you my heart But it had spent so long so broken that the flow was all stopped And I’m reminded of younger days and that first time I smoked pot How the music swirled around me and I could pick it apart It was a lesson that I needed to improve in my art but I didn’t have to keep on smoking once those skills were unlocked I’d grown these new neural pathways and had the freedom to embark And see my heart was just the same it was all rusted and blocked And loving you was what I needed for my clogged valves to unstop and now my blood is back to flowing, I am capable of hoping I have no sense of foreboding, broke my chains and now I'm growing and no I don’t know where I’m going, and yes my hearts still kind of broken But I’m now plugged into the sky, I ask why, and the universe replies "Love is the right answer, even when it’s wrong Love will never make you weak, it can only make you strong Fear is not your home, so go back where you belong Cause love is the right answer, even when it’s wrong” Love is the right answer, even when it’s wrong
