Oh the places we've been.. Oh the places we may never go..
Main Street in AF:
I'd be your life flight
if that meant going back to a time when we hadn't started throwing darts at each other yet.
if that meant going back to a time when we hadn't started throwing darts at each other yet.
You tried hitting the bull's eye,
but you hit my heart instead and it took a long time for it to heal itself.
It still hurts sometimes.
It still hurts sometimes.
Lucky's:
I'd be your lighter
if that meant being close to your lips one more time.
But please don't get too drunk to forget our drives we made to lakes and canyons.
Trust me though, I know it's hard to remember when we are oceans apart.
Walmart at 1 a.m.:
I'd be your nightlight
if that meant I would scare away the demons that hide in your pillowcases
and give you nightmares of forgetful loves.
I'd be your plane ticket
if that meant one more moment in your humidity,
because I know you want to stay there and never grow up.
Room 121:
I'd be your rainy days playlist
if that meant I could whisper through the headphones
that you were beyond the brilliance of the stars or any ACT score.
You know why it's hard for me to drive sometimes,
you know why I wasted my first kiss,
and you know why I am the way I am.
And I know you'll be at the airport with me when I decide to fly away.
Three Story Park:
I'd be your first aid kit
if that meant you would let me see your scars one more time.
I know we drifted apart after we drank our feelings away in soda,
and I know now it was because of all the red lights we hit on the way there.
I just wanted to be the one to heal you.
I'm sorry you thought I was too broken to fix you, though.
And you're wrong... some friendships don't last forever.
Daylight Donuts:
I'd be your lifeguard
if that meant you would never have to drown again.
Because I know you can't swim, and that's why I wait on the sidelines
in hope that you'll let me know when I can save you again.
I know nights are hard, and I know shadows are scary,
but light will come again.
We were born to feel these things, right?
Hot Tubs:
I'd be the typewriter in your brain
if that meant I could help you stop missing home so much,
and to remind you that you are in fact, worth more than the galaxies I know you hold.
And I know, because you contain stars in your eyes,
and you hold the planets hoping they would finally align you with someone.
They will someday. It's inevitable.
Don't stress the what if's. Embrace the what's next.
A Pleasant Grove curbside:
I'd be your bed sheets
if that meant I would be the only one holding you together at night after a heart attack,
or a delayed flight.
I've seen you cry, I've seen you fall through ice, I've seen you break,
and I'm still in want of you.
I'm still in need of you.
