life cant get any better than this...
with this ship i will set sail at sunrise
i'm packing my bags but here is the surprise
the words are in my head, so my baggage is light
let me sing my songs, so alone during the night
when ive sang the last song, ill repeat them all
un-active creativity will be my downfall
whats done is done, and this is the start
"its so easy not noticing us drifting apart"
compliments are wasted on my ears, tuning you out
dont try harder, because i know you will shout
im guessing that you are revoking this end
post mark your feelings, with the rest they blend in
like a dying flower in a dead flower bed
your words are old, even so, they've been said.
even on this open sea i can think for eternity
thinking up new ways to say how much you meant to me
if this vessel should capsize tonight
remember that you were my best fight
if you ever have a doubt about what you meant
remember you have my letter, of love, that i sent
at some point when i hit land, ill start a fire
watch the flames dance and think about my desire
i need clarity, yet buoyancy, something to motivate
when this life-vest decays, your rescue will be late
and with a grin you will know that this was my cause
to subtract myself with the addition of your flaws
now your left with your thoughts, as i hope your mind
shows you what a difference, my feelings were to find
you think that i was just the water in your lungs
but i was the one that knew that songs to be sung
the words flowed freely with the thought of your face
and nothing will overtake the feeling of your embrace
i can still smell the scent of your perfume
as it slid off your skin and filled up my room
i took in deep breaths and made sure not to forget
"this is the best that my life can ever get."
if this vessel should capsize tonight
remember that you were my best fight
if you ever have a doubt about what you meant
remember you have my letter, of love, that i sent
