Caught in the Crosswalk
It’s three in the morning, and I can’t fall asleep.
So I lay there beside you and listen to you as you breathe.
So calm and peaceful, so strong and deep.
I wish I could do that – But you do it for me.
Counting the cars so at least I have something to do
Fighting the moonlight as if I have something to prove.
Stuck in this limbo – an endless loop.
Caught in the crosswalk, unable to move.
The world keeps spinning on,
As you dream your way to dawn.
And I’ll write this little song
As I wait.
I wonder the stories that play in your head.
While I watch the lights outside intersecting instead.
Off in the distance – green, yellow, then red.
Dancing a waltz as the glow of their symphony spreads.
For you – whoa.
For you – I’ll wait for you.
For you. Whoa.
For you….
The world keeps spinning on,
As you dream your way to dawn.
And I’ll write this little song
As I wait.

You’ll Know it’s Me
So here we are.
We never thought this day would come.
But now I’m dancing with the stars -
Leaving you alone and numb.
Don’t look down
The truth is always in the sky
So when you’re lost and you need a little love,
Come visit me and we can pass the time.
Take me outside where the sun shines on me –
Out in the meadow where the wind can call me.
Let the moon smile through the trees.
Stand by the river where we watched the sunrise.
Listen for your name in the moonlight.
And when you hear it in the breeze,
That’s how you’ll know it’s me.
We can keep our secrets
Amongst the ashes and the pines
Whispers echoed through the seasons
Winding through the granite and the vines.
Take me outside where the sun shines on me –
Out in the meadow where the wind can call me.
Let the moon smile through the trees.
Stand by the river where we watched the sunrise.
Listen for your name in the moonlight.
And when you hear it in the breeze,
That’s how you’ll know it’s me.
So here we are.

Aim High
Come on you gotta aim high
Just raise your hands into the blue sky.
You'll never make it if you don't try.
So tired of walking so let's fly.
I wanna coast but I know that it's impossible.
If it were easy then we all would be unstoppable.
I want to stand out, from the try-hards.
I don't need a hand out - I'm holding all the cards.
I’ll take my time
waiting for the others to get out of line.
It’s the cross we have to bear.
Wading through the mud to get anywhere.
Take a minute but don’t let the years pass you by.
Caught off guard and only left to wonder why
The world moved on and friended someone new
You’ve got to be the change to see the change so rearrange your view.
Let’s take this party to the next level
I know that we’ve got something so special.
Come on you gotta aim high
Just raise your hands into the blue sky.
You'll never make it if you don't try.

One More Trip Around the Sun
Another rainbow on the blue sky
An encore of your favorite song.
One more dinner with the family.
Another reason to push on.
One more. One more.
One more trip around the sun.
A moment savoring a sunset.
An extra inning in the game.
Holding on for one more lifetime in your arms.
I tell you it’s all worth the pain, for
One more. One more.
One more trip around the sun.

Suffocating
I thought this was what I had wanted:
The fairy tale that they said I should need.
Instead I feel like I’ve been haunted
With an overwhelming feeling that I can’t breathe.
Go, Go
You’re closer than you need to be.
Go, Go
Step away you’re suffocating me.
While I wasn’t paying attention,
The air has been sucked from the room.
I know this wasn’t your intention.
I fear it’s just what you do.
