lyrics
Each time that you go
Best part of me leaves.
Just grass without green,
Maybe a water-less stream.
Your smile it's the cure
Straightens my back
Helps fill in the cracks
Keeps my heart from going flat.
When you're around I find
Myself likewise inclined.
Things that you do
Make me want you more
Days without you the're a bore.
Pointless getting up from the floor.
Is there such a thing
As loving too much? What stuff!
I'll never have my fill of you
I feel so renewed.
Feels like the Sun shining down when you smile.
The tears when they fall it's so I
Can stand tall and straight for a while
Until the clouds clear and you feel alright.
Sound bites and blue light,
Wake up around midnight
To pee you typing furiously
I say something funny
You smile at me and I
Fall back asleep.
It's like the Sun shining down when you smile...
