pensando en ti

Boy I'm thinking about you.
Like homemade jam on grandma's toast; I'm thinking about you.
Like night-lights think about glowing,
Like boys think about growing,
Like prophets think about knowing;
I'm thinking about you.

I'm wandering where you are
If you wish that swing sets outnumbered sad tunes
If you watch the sunsets as much as I do
If the storm that's luring is the one that hides you
Boy. I'm thinking about you.

Im thinking about your name
Like the groundhog thinks about his shadow
Like a soldier thinks about the outcome of the battle
Like a kayak thinks of the places it'd go without a paddle
I'm thinking about you

I'm thinking about how you're hand might fit in mine
To what song your heart keeps time
And the day it would be right to call you mine
Boy, I'm thinking about you.

And boy I hope you're thinking about me
That my existence, although a mystery
Is the one that keeps you out there, looking
Finding the girl who fits so perfectly

And I'll be patient
I won't give up--for you.
I'll keep searching, knowing that you're searching too
Because in the end boy, love takes two
So here and now, I'm thinking about you.

Dark and Light

I'm tired of nights that end alone while surrounded by people
I'm tired of feeling forgotten when I know I'm on my mother's mind
I'm tired of being convinced of the lie that revolves in my mind that says I'm not worth his love
That I'm not worth anyone's love
I'm tired of thinking it's finally over but falling back down again and again

I haven't given up
I don't have a solution..

But I think the sunshine in the morning and the promise of even one good day is the hope that holds me till dawn

So whether this message is for me, or someone else, hold on to the sun when the night comes

The dark can never completely shut out it's light.
