Like Pretty Girls And Cowboys, I Need You Here Tonight.

I don't want to be alone,
but I can't find the words to tell you.
Promise not to promise anymore. Tell me, when will you learn that there isn't a word for everything? I spend these nights counting stars like a runaway. I can't explain, and won't even try how everything fell away, except for your eyes.
I like to pretend. Sometimes it gets me into trouble though. Reality just isn't for me. I would much rather stay in my dream world where everything is so much more. More beauty, more love, more hope.
The sun goes down but not spirits, maybe I've been haunting your thoughts. My body is a graveyard for hopes that died too soon. Give me a love I'm enough for. I want to hold your attention, but for now I'll settle for your hand. Your skin looks amazing in the moonlight- stuck in moments like these where I could be writing something amazing but I don't want to take my hands off you. I'll let a few good lines go for a boy that I can't. Besides the lines sometimes come back to me before he would. Tell me what matters at the end of the day- an empty page or an empty bed? We can all agree what hurts worse. You can't blame me for holding on- I'm just a little afraid you'll disappear like our footprints in the sand by the shore.
