Washed Away

Written in a hammock at a vacation lake house up in Minnesota 07-22-08

 You are my light

My false hope in the dark

You are my love

My every broken heart

And I if I had a new start?

I'd throw it away

Because I know it'll be broken anyway

 

All I have for you

Is what hasn't been taken

All I have to share

Is every moment I wake

And I put it all at stake

Just to see it washed away

 

You are my rhymes

My writer's block and bind

You are my love

That I know I'll never find

And if I could change your mind?

I would just let you be

Because I know, you'd do the same thing to me

 

All I have for you

Is what hasn't been taken

All I have to share

Is every moment I wake

And I put it all at stake

Just to see it washed away

 

You are my demons

The ones I cherish and protect

You are my love

My every ounce of distress

And if I had one last request?

I'd kiss you again

And ask you to explain your love for me...

To him

 

All I have for you

Is what hasn't been taken

All I have to share

Is every moment I wake

And I put it all at stake

Just to see it washed away

 

All I have for you

Is what hasn't been taken

All I have to share

Is every moment I wake

And I put it all at stake

Just to see it washed away
