I've filled pages and books with lyrics, but none of them come together.
I keep trying to write a song about you, but my art tends to come from pain.
and you're one of the few things I've got right now that isn't hurting me.
here are my attempts.

I always know where you are
like a radar in my heart---
I swear to gods I don't believe in
I'm normal, honey, I can be trusted
Purple, blue, you're such a fool
For trusting that I'm anything like you---
Oh baby, am I predictable?
Or am I a mystery to you, like I am to me?---
Oh, I'm the fool for standing in the hurricane
But I just wanna feel the rain on my skin again---
You fly so high around me
It makes me want to die so badly
Jumping in front of a passing train
Just to see your smile again---
Bring me back to Earth
Teach me what I deserve---
I wanna ride the rollercoaster
And kiss you when the music's over---
see? nothing coherent, my love. I don't know how to capture the feeling I get when I'm gazing wistfully up, and you wave at me - I don't know how to explain why I can't wipe that smile off my face.
I get distracted by it every time I think about it.
all I know is I love your laugh and I love that you laugh at my jokes, and I will forever be the fool falling in love again.
