TALL ORDER


 

Can’t ever explain it
Sometimes the words get freaked out and freeze
And I pray when I sneeze they will go away
Cause I start to blush and can hardly say
What I want to, sometimes
 

Is a sometimes a crime, built over this rhyme?
Yes, hopefully you can see that communication is the key
That you stick into me and turn, so you can learn all of me
Cause sometimes I want you to see.
 

Do I mix my words up like pepper and salt?
To season and give reason to why my words come as they do
I am trying to clarify my thoughts it’s true
But I can’t when I am in your minds view
 

Bet you didn’t know, that I do dig snow
And that I dig bare feet and walking down
Cobblestone streets and sipping a good glass of wine to pass
The time that I am thinking of you
 

Always am, always do.
 

Do you come clear to steer your reasons to recognize mine
That’s what I thought, that was my sign
Establishing why I have this bruise and why you wear it away
Placing your hands on me to stay
 

I close my eyes and take your hand and read it wise
To concentrate on the size of your heart
Beating fast enough to know you want me close
You want me near, to hear you speak, am I the one you seek?
 

Or have you sought so hard that it isn’t even really a beat but a melody
The melody that you muse, when inspired but those whispers
You hear when you do fall into a deep sleep, wishes, wise old fables
Fallen from angels eyes are the stars you call home
 

I often roam there, you unaware that I see it all.
 

When you hunt something that is fiction, you fall behind
When you view something fiction make it so
Draw the hair back around her ear and make her hear
Yes, hear your love.
