You are the seashells on the sand that hide beneath the crashing waves

You are the butterfly in cupped hands that gently beats its wings

You are everything I can’t have, you are gold that's out of reach

You want me for the wrong reasons I want you, you're all I see. 

You are silence in the sounds from every love song ever played

You are the beauty in the ground that hides away until dawn breaks 

You are feathers, you are petals

You don’t want to be kept or held

Let me hold you, let me keep you, like the sand keeps the sea shells.

You love me like the seasons but I love you everyday

You love me when you’re lonely but I’ll love you either way

You are “almost” and “tomorrow” 

But I am “yes” and I’m “today” 

You want me for the wrong reasons

I want you to want to stay.

You give me roses, I give you gardens

You give me sand, I give you stones

I want you to keep me, want you to hold me

But you’d rather let me go

I look for reasons to love you

Although I have a thousand reasons to hate

And while you build up a fence, I build us a gate.
