An Inspired Glitch

I don't know what it is about you
That keeps me clutching my phone late at night
I lay in bed and try to sleep
But I just can shut my eyes

You move me
You inspire me
You make me feel again

I know I shouldn't want you
But I can't get the color of your eyes
Out of my head
This can only lead to trouble
And a lot of heartache
But a part of me doesn't care
For you I'd let me heart break

You move me
You inspire me
You make me feel alive

I've never felt like I would wait for someone
Let other chances at love pass me by
But I just can't shake you
Though I know I should
And even though I've tried

You move me
You inspire me
You make me feel revived

I've let myself forget
Forced back emotions I've thought unwise
But just when I find peace
My subconscious forces the thought of you
Back to the front of my mind.

My reasons for holding on are completely unclear
It's foggy, hazy, it's steam on a mirror.
I can't call it love
I don't think that's what it is
But every morning I wake up
wondering about your kiss

You move me
You inspire me
You make me want to love

I dream about your arm on my shoulder
laying back wondering about the stars above
And I wake up smiling, flustered and dizzy
With my head all a-buzz

The chemistry is unmistakable
But the timing's never always been the hitch
So the only thing I can do
Is sit back and wait out that glitch

You move me
You inspire me
You make me feel again

So I'll sit here and wait for you
Drink my whiskey and my gin
Because I think someday soon
One way or another
This song and dance with finally come to an end

Chasing Butterflies

I know that you're broken

I've been broken too

There's scars from being cut

And even more from being used.

But I've learned that when there's rain

You notice the sun even more

But I don't know what we're doing

Or what we're talking for.

 I know this can't go past

 a way to pass the nights

So despite my heart feeling high

I tell myself 

We're just chasing butterflies

And then a few strung out nights

Of conversation, beer and moonlight

I tell myself that maybe this is something

Maybe it'll turn out alright.

So I let myself go

To try and feel again

Because maybe there could be

Happy in the end

Against my better judgement

I let myself go

To imagine all things

That only happen in the picture show.

Maybe this could be good

Maybe it'll turn out alright.

And it's not just me

Chasing butterflies

But then you disappeared

And nights of silence take the place

Of the hours spent talking

About Time & Space.

I try to find a reason

I tell myself lies

Because in the end I know

I'm just chasing butterflies

And I hope you know that when the day comes

That you're ready to step out of the rain

And once again face the sun

I'll be here waiting

With my heart open to you

And you'll finally know what it's like 

To be loved and not used.

But until then I'll just let the time

Pass on by

And keep on waiting

While I chase butterflies
