Mutual Interest

I drove around all night because I couldn't sit at home

I'm overthinking things you said 

and reading too much into what you don't

I won't last another winter with this cold lonely apartment 

All my friends say I should lighten up 

but I'm only getting darker

Maybe I'd seem less selfish

With a mutual interest in progress

It seems that when I digress 

It lacks a conscience 

That keeps you stressed

So I'll tangle my roots in your flesh and your bone

And make use of all the nutrients and call you my home

And if you feel abandoned when you are alone

Darling, please don't forget

It takes some time and sunlight to grow

People change and I'll admit I'm not immune

I've gotten colder and grown distant 

I could say the same for you

I'm losing touch I've run out of my luck 

I guess I wasn't good enough

I'll keep this trapped inside my head 

And stapled in my skin

The sun goes down but it will rise again

That natural cycle gives me peace of mind

So I'm not up all night craving the warmth and the light

Shinning on my skin something we both miss.
