Riverbeds

Take me to the river bed
Lay me down in ivory sheets
You can rest your head for now forever
You're all that I know
Please, don't let me go

I'll collect the water from your eyes
Help you sail through darkest nights
You'll never be alone
Times get hard
I know I'm far from perfect
But please, don't run
Our stories just begun

Anger gets the best of me
I say things I don't mean
All I want is to be seen
I've got scars I know that need to heal
Before you I could barely feel
At your feet I kneel

Caught in the half light
Held you since midnight
Loved you at first sight
Silhouetted by the headlights

I'm just a boy
Lost in the world
You're just a girl
Pure as a sea pearl
I'm just a boy
Lost in the noise
You're just a girl
Thorns like a rosebud

I've got a past that's torn and broken
Yet you always let me in
My walls are built up high
I'm far from right
But you always seem to try
You're up for the climb

I don't have much to give except my love
I hope it's enough
We're living off the cuff
Read to me until I fall asleep
But you stay up watching me
As I slip into a dream

Wake up at daylight
I know life is finite
But if we hold tight
Our souls will be forever starlight

I'm just a boy
Lost in the world
You're just a girl
Pure as a sea pearl
I'm just a boy
Lost in the noise
You're just a girl
Thorns like a rosebud

I'm just a boy
Lost in the world
You're just a girl
Pure as a sea pearl
I'm just a boy
Lost in the noise
You're just a girl
Thorns like a rosebud

I'm just a boy
Lost in the world
You're just a girl
Pure as a sea pearl
I'm just a boy
Lost in the noise
You're just a girl
Thorns like a rosebud
