Just Be There

Did your summer end?

Did your colors bleed?

Are you the lonely person

That I used to be?

Just look down,

And you will see

That you’re not alone, boy;

You’ve still got me.

I’ve got a little heart,

But lots of love,

And if you’ll take it

I’ll give you some.

You don’t have to bleed

To show me you care;

All that you need to do

Is just be there.

Did your ocean sink you?

Did you fall from the sky?

When you begged for help,

Did all the strangers pass by?

Well, just look down here,

And you will see

That you’re not alone, no,

You’ve still got me.

Mine’s a little heart,

But it’s got lots of love,

And if you’ll just take it

I’ll give you some.

You don’t have to bleed, boy

To show me you care;

All I need from you

Is just be there.

When the darkness comes

Are you losing sleep?

And when you close your eyes

Do you dream of me

Looking up at you

And promising

That you’re not alone,

Because I’ll always be

Your little girl

With lots of love for free.

You don’t need to bleed, boy;

You know that I care.

When you need me,

I’ll be right there.

You don’t need to bleed, boy;

I know that you care.

All that I ask

Is that you be there.

Only One Way To Know

He wants to know what's happening;

Well, something deep inside of me

Aches and breaks

When he walks in the room.

Is it love,

Or is it insanity?

Is it just another

Layer of me,

Doin' what I

Was always gonna do?

Only one way to know, babe;

Only one way to go, babe.

Come a little closer,

And let me put my hands on you.

He wants to know what I'm thinkin'

'Cause I've gone all year without blinkin';

Well, I can't blink

When my eyes could be on you.

Is it love,

Or is it vanity?

Am I just revealing

Another side of me,

Sayin' what I 

Was always gonna say?

Only one way to know, man;

Only one way to go, man.

Come a little closer,

And I'll make you wanna stay.

More Than Feelings

There's so many songs about blue eyes

But you're in love with my green.

You don't fit their stereotypes

Or their movie scenes.

You don't get all my quirks

But you accept them anyway.

You want to ask my dad

If you can change my last name.

You make jokes you don't find funny

Just to make me laugh

And you bring me the sunshine

When I walk down a dark path.

It's not just about feelings;

Feelings come and go.

It's a daily choice to hold on

When the world would just let go.

Things aren't always perfect;

Every couple has their fights.

But even when we disagree,

We're on each other's side.

We'll outlast our problems

Because we always talk things through,

And when I can't find myself

I can still count on you.

But I still like the feelings;

I still get the butterflies.

I still love your curls

And your smile, and your eyes.

I love to wear your hoodie

And I love to hear you sing

And I love it when you tell me

That I'm your everything.

It's not just about looks;

We aren't a sappy love song

Or a sentimental book,

But you still love my curves

And I still love to hold your hand.

I love being your baby girl,

And you love being my man.
