...Over You

By natb17

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

It's not enough for me to see you once again cause now I'm needing something more.. Maybe I'm selfish to blame for all I've painted Maybe I can't let this go... But you've got a way when you make me lose my head now I'm stuck here bettin' high... cause you were the one placing me above it all laying it out in the stillness of the weeping he says: hold me down let me be the one to tuck you in tonight just, hold me down got me in too deep when I'm losing sleep over you... Something has lingered in the way we carry on holding dear what went before Now and again when I think of what it seems love is subsiding, in the episodes of laughter he says: hold me down let me be the one to tuck you in tonight just, hold me down got me in too deep when I'm losing sleep over you... and if the sun came crashing down and I had nothing left to give would he still save me? would he break the ocean waves that kept me stranded far from him? Late in the twilight with the abscence of your face I'm still needing something more... I wanna tell you If you'd let me take my place right beside you, in the multitude of grace I say: hold me down let me be the one to tuck you in tonight just, hold me down got me in too deep when I'm losing sleep Over you... love is subsiding....
