What You’ll Get From Me

May 27th, 2013

Others have turned away when you needed them most
They left you alone and weak in the dirt
No crying shoulder around, no one to play host
How’s a man supposed to deal with his hurt?
Don’t see in me someone else’s ghost
We can’t be a place where your doubts lurk

Because I will always be
Right here waiting for you
Heart full of love and arms opened wide
That’s what you’ll get from me

I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t been there before
I know what it’s like wanting to flee
I’ve fought every urge to run through that door
Just like others have done to me
What can you do when they refuse you support?
But don’t you think for a second it’ll set you free

Because I will always be
Right here waiting for you
Heart full of grace and arms opened wide
That’s what you’ll get from me

I can’t pretend to take it all away
All the pain that they’ve given to you
We both know there’s nothing that I can say
To make you forget what you’ve had to do
My only hope is to have enough sway
For you to see in me a heart that is true

Because I will always be
Right here waiting for you
Heart full of hope and arms opened wide
That’s what you’ll get from me

My time, my affection
Loyalty and every confession
My dreams and my touch
Every single thought of love
That’s what you’ll get from me

Every single piece that is me
That’s what you’ll get from me

The Plan

May 27th, 2013

You won’t find me in a smokey lounge singing the blues
and the bright lights won’t spell out my name
I really doubt I’ll ever change the world
but I’m going to love you just the same

Some people won’t let anything get in their way
they have have the biggest dreams
and they won’t stop for anything
but I just want you at the end of the day

I’m going to try hard as I can
it won’t be easy or perfect
there’ll be stormy days ahead
but I’m not afraid of making that stand

Some may call it a little bit too easy
I won’t try to make them understand
Or tell them exactly what’s on my mind
as long as you agree with me

Maybe I’m getting back to a simpler way of life
but I want what I want what I want
and what I want’s what I want’s what I want
I don’t have anything to decide

As long as that hand you’re holding is mine
I know we’ll be just fine
and if you keep coming to me to confide
I’ll stay right by your side

They call me crazy for giving you a chance
and I don’t know that they’re wrong
but I’m going to give it my all anyway
so I can know the ending to this song

No, you won’t find me in Hollywood
I couldn’t care less if I ever make it big
Cause I’m living life on my own terms
If I have you, I’ll call it good

Together, we can make the life that I know I need
falling asleep in your arms to wake up by your side
it’s too soon to say forever, so I’ll say this instead
All that I need is us as long as I breathe
