Finished this song. Song done with my band, will be on our upcoming album
The closer that I get
To where I want to be
The more i yearn to be back where I was
and it takes more than you'll ever know
to turn around and walk away
from everything thats so familiar
from everything that you know
we change our minds like changing lanes
never satisfied with decisions made
uncertainty keeps us awake
If I were to tell you
That I'd shed my own blood so you'd never shed a tear
Would you believe me? Trust me? take my hand?
Or write it off as just a gesture from a friend?
Try to believe when I say
I'd give it all to hear you call my name
Cause you are, everything familiar
and everything I know
So I'll chase these paper dreams
the ones where you come back to me
the ones that you crush so easily
And i spend my sleepless nights
Rewriting my words until they sound right
And I'll never understand
Why you wont just take my hand
And leave with me tonight
Try to believe when I say
I'd give it all to hear you call my name
I felt so centered, Your hands on my face
The world stopped turning, and we stood in place
I felt my hands, around your waist
And I kissed your lips, the sweetest taste
The color of your eyes did fade
As you dropped your hands, and turned away
You mouthed forgive me as you struck a match
Set it to my skin
and left me burning
You Set me ablaze X4
You know you always kept me guessing,
but I never could have guessed
That I'd end up on your front porch
without my heart inside my chest.
And the entire drive to your house
Was spent shaking in fear
cause I knew you'd say the words
I didn't want to hear
Your just like a dream
But more like a nightmare that consumes
Cause I've been losing sleep over
The memory of you
Try to believe when i say
I'd give it all to hear you call my name
Late at night when the stars are out,
You just might hear me shout
Your name to the sky
And outside your window i stand
with some rocks in my hand
hoping that you'll just try
Try to believe when i say
I'd give it all to hear you call my name
to hear you call my name
to hear you call my name
to hear you call my name
to hear you call my name
to hear you call my name
