I know I said that I would write you a song And it's been brewing in my head for so long I didn't want to let you down So I've been saving up my words And putting them into the ground Where they can grow into poetry
Outsiders to the world around us I don't know who I'd be without you
Looking back on when we met I didn't know that I was such a mess Until you came along Directionless Discontent And scared as fuck of who I'd grow up to be As if I had no fucking choice
Isn't it funny how life works? There could be nothing for years In the desert of loneliness But then love appears like a cruel mirage That you've seen before In dire thirst And it haunts the mind Until it's real But you are real
Inspired by Every breath of love You've given me Through the years I turn to the world Making good on the promise of happiness That life assured me when I was born You opened up my eyes So I could see It's been you and me Against the world
And so I said that I would write you a song To reassure you any time you were lost I only want to make you proud I hope that all my little words Have emanated from the ground unscathed
You give me strength when there is no hope You give me reason to care You are light on the darkest night You are there Outsiders to the world around us A soul alone without you Keep me dreaming Be my guide Souls aligned I love you
