i'm racing against time

i'm racing against time
i want to feel your face
seems like its never enough
don't want to fall from your grace
can't live without you
want that silk and lace
i need to go faster
i need to win the race
i'm racing against time
i'm racing against time

i'm racing against time
just need that one taste
that only you can give
going try just in case
that i lose my way
in all this haste
i know i'm losing
i need to win this race
i'm racing against time
i'm racing against time

i'm racing against time
i want to touch your face
can't you show me the way
so it's not a total disgrace
i hear the band playing
near the end of the chase
the music grows louder
i need to win this race
i'm racing against time
i'm racing against time

not leaving

i'm not leaving
for you have become
far too much of me to replace
my heart i have given completely
and i have taken
all of your love that i can
the more i give
the more you give
i want to feel that feeling
now and always
for your love
has made me complete
eternal love doesn't cover you
but simply allows more love into your life
so i wanted to show you
in a way that you could see feel and touch
so this anchor is me
my love my life
for the anchor is always with the ship
yet the ship is still free
and i'm not leaving

47 times

47 times i tried
36 times t cried
23 times i reached for you
15 times i told you
12 times i missed your call
9 times you weren't home
7 times you said yes
4 times i said yes
1 time i lied

said

said i will never leave you
said i love you
said you can trust me
said i want you to be happy
said i want what was best for you
said i know that you love me
said that you are lovely
said you give me so much
said i love you again
said you complete me
said how good it feels to hold you
said my heart is yours
said all these things today
will say all these things tomorrow
will say them forever
said i will never leave you
said i love you

wish that you would

wish that you would take some of my strength
and use it when you are tired
wish that i could take your smile with me
so i could wear it when we're apart
hope that you know how complete
that you make me feel
wish that that you would
take from me what you need
for i only wish to to make you happy
and when you smile at me i feel so full
but sometimes i see the emptiness
in you that i can't fill
wish that you would
let me fill the void
i guess that it is easy for me to say
because i take so much from you
and i feel that i give you so little in return
i do feel so much love and trust
when i hold you
wish that i could hold you now

pretend

i never thought that i
would ever feel like i
feel with you
everything before you
seems now like pretend
real life begins
with a hug from you
nothing else will do
days without you are longer
time with you
passes by so fast
hard as i try to make it last
i turn around
and you are gone
i lay in bed
hugging my pillow
searching for sleep

a rose

i went to bring you a rose
but it withered rather than
being compared to you
the candy melted
for its' sugar couldn't compete
with your sweetness
a diamond sparkles only as
a reflection of your eyes
and gold just wants to coil
on your fingers and arms
because elsewhere it is plain and useless
when eyes gaze at you
they behold you
when arms hold you
they become weak
for holding you is like
touching love
so i lay next to you and
feel complete bliss
for surely i can't deserve this
perhaps god
is just letting me
dream this
so that when i awake
i will be punished for my sins
by not being next to you
i will gladly suffer the pain
of not being with you
just to live the dream
for truly
if i was really laying next to you
i would in heaven
and you an angel
telling me that love is real
