For you
I’m blindfolded trying to pin my hopes on a promise
It’s said the best laid intentions still create dramas
As you laid there and pictured serenity the calm is swept away
Papier Mache memories torched to ashes and alone you play
Lock the doors and damn the texts and telephone calls
My life’s a menagerie with no privacy behind cellophane walls
Run if you can and scream if you think it will make you feel better
I would stand in the rain again for you if you relish in getting me wetter
But for now, I’m going to wrap into a little ball
Teetering on the edge of a branch bracing for the fall
Time and distance in the end are not the only measures
Faith hope and love you’ll find are life’s greatest treasures
When you tire of the echo that your lonely heartbeat makes
And you feel it’s time to open up, think you have what it takes
Call my name and I’ll be there
Signed someone that really cares
For you
