She shakes the hand of another
You let your mind take a walk
And she comes and glows
She stuns and goes
You aren’t anything but can’t let it go
Caught in the tide of Ambrosia
You feel the second hand crawl
And she comes and glows
She stuns and goes
You don’t have much to say but can’t let it go
You can’t let it go
She’s a wave
On the shore
She‘s knock at the door that no other was calling before
Fear you won’t be near her anymore
After the taste of Ambrosia
You let your mind settle down
And she comes and glows
She stuns and goes
You never went that way but can’t let it go
You can’t let it go
She’s a wave
On the shore
She‘s knock at the door that no other was calling before
She’s a spark
In your eye
Not a star in the sky that can conjure a similar light
You want to see her
She’s so sincere
Fear you won’t be near her anymore

Slow day on the water
Slow day on the chair
Your thoughts can’t wander
You can only stare
You know he’s lying
Just outside of your reach
You want to turn
To catch his eye
But you can only grit your teeth
That night in the dark of the pier
Should have been a game
But he woke something in you
And you don’t know its name
So, who’s gonna save you now?
He stands // You feel his
footsteps toward the shore
You tense up, slow your breathing
Feel the twitching in your core
You watch him front-crawl
Out to the buoy line
He cuts the current clean
He climbs the beacon’s spine
He turns to face the beach
Posed like a postcard view
You almost know you almost hope
He’s staring back at you
Who’s gonna save you now?
But something shakes his balance
And he hits the water wrong
Can’t tell why he’s not moving
But he doesn’t
Have long
You have to trust your muscle memory
Your mind’s all white
No time to think
No time to fear
You’re all adrenaline
Pure fight
Who’s gonna save you now?

Today I sat down and wrote you a letter
shocked I could find a piece of paper
hands were shaking. begging words to come out beyond a screen
Does it even matter if my little dreams
are sent out you in black blue or green
Cuz real and fake are all the same to me
But today i really felt pleasure touching old pain

How can I
Begin to find
The words that fit you right?
In a deep and
Silent sky you shined
How can I
Want anything
More than to hold you tight?
And to hear you
Say that you’ll be mine?
Oh Hannah, I
Want to cry
When I think of the time that I’ve wasted
Oh but I
Know it’s alright
‘Cause we still have got so many
Places to go
I have been
So foolish and
So selfish in my time
How can you
See any good in me?
Still I can
Remember when
You came to me so kind
Held my hand
And then you set me free
Oh Hannah, I
Want to cry
When I think of the love that I’ve wasted
Oh but I
Know it’s alright
‘Cause we still have got so many
Places to go
I can see you
Dance across the
Constellations now
Beautiful as
You will always be
Hannah, I just want to love,
Oh would you show me how?
We could build a
Castle by the sea
Oh Hannah, I
Want to cry
When I think of the love that I’ve wasted
Oh but I
Know it’s alright
‘Cause we still have got so many
Places to go
