There was a girl (08-07-09)

fold the envelope
break the silence
the rusty swing set I can't seem to leave behind
Is the warning sign someone forgot to give me
before all these feelings from the past came rushing back
oh how a kiss on the forehead from someone I love
would be so nice

Outside my porch and down the street
This is a place where I don't want to stay
This is the moment where truth and pain collide
I've spent these years with a Colorado sun
bouncing off my face with the anticipation
that someday I would hear from you again

With the distance between us moving closer everyday
was it one last word and then you will be gone
Or is this the moment where you begin to believe in
the way I have always felt about you
Or has my heart become an empty room you want to avoid

With glass angels resting on your shoulder
You are loved
and maybe memories of me are like bad dreams you want to forget
But I'm just a boy that seems to be out of luck
Who wants to be loved by a girl just like you
