For You

You say you could never write a tune As pretty as I do But I love it when you sing to me Out of the billion other places and faces We are yet to meet It's only you where my heart fits in perfectly Hmmm I like the sound of pouring rain My cup of tea that keeps me sane But I love rain when I'm nestled in your arms And someday we'll buy a bed for two Kiss you softly every morning, too Oh, what I'd give to wake up next to you Hmmm There's so much of you I'll never know So many treasures I cannot give Lay down with me, recount our memories Does that make up for what we've missed? And I'm terrible at understanding Time and time again But if time was meant to heal us We're filled with vows we're yet to send Well, I like writing melodies And humming out a tune But I love it when I'm writing them for you With these words left unsaid We'll write novels in our heads And spill them out once they finally understand That life is gray and black and blue But Darling, that's not always true It's never blue when my clothes smell of you Shivers down my spine When eyes lock, hands intertwine Our hearts beat the same old lullaby We're worn out yet so alive We're just a bunch of broken souls We're not quite sure just where to go But this time I would know 'Cause it's your heart that I call home Well, I like writing melodies And humming out a tune But I love it when I'm writing them for you Hmmm Hmmm In four more years you'll leave this town Make new friends and we'll fall down But that doesn't mean that I won't stick around And when we finally say goodbye Tears will shed, hearts will die But our love is here to stay And so am I I know that I'm not perfect Even though you disagree And I know there's nothing harder than Loving someone like me But if you still think it's crazy How you're loved by lil' old me I'll send all our plans in bottles If it meant you were the sea Hmmm And I can't do as much as you Can't write, can't make good art for you So, for now I hope this'll do To make you feel my love for you We're so six months down an endless road We've got the rest of our lives to go 'Till then I'll be waiting through this storm As we promise to laugh and sing and keep each other warm Well I like writing melodies And humming out a tune But I love it when I'm writing them for you Darling, I hope my melody reaches you
