Perfection

So I haven't posted song lyrics in quite awhile, and I haven't posted good song lyrics in an even longer while. But, my friends, the day I KNOW you've all been waiting for has finally come! ;) I'm going to post some new lyrics, that I'm actually pretty excited about, don't ask me why. I've been experimenting with different chord progressions and melodies than I typically use, and I'm liking it. :) I've got the melody roughly mapped out, but like I said, I'm experimenting. I've decided I'm for sure learning guitar, I just have to go out and buy one. Hahaha But yeah, one day, hopefully, I will actually have some songs finished and people besides me will hear them. That is my goal. But we'll see... Anyways, onward with the blog! This song is called "Perfection"... not really sure of the story behind it; my own imagination, I guess.

Perfection

Lean in, and listen, love
Direct those sweet, unfocused eyes
Not ones for words
We feel in silence
But the melody is too pretty tonight

I am not alone
With you on my mind,
Every step I take is golden
You've filled my broken,
Empty tin chest with love

Like the water,
In your light I'm beautiful
Your hands in mine
Paint love with my scars
Better people on the streets
Just follow in your footsteps
I'm right behind them
Searching to find rest
In your perfection

You are a summer breeze
Warming my skin,
Pulling me in with every word you say
I wish that I had your eloquent love

The moon up in the sky
Can't compare to the light in your eyes
When they look at mine, the world stops
Two perfect souls, perfectly intertwined

Like the water,
In your light I'm beautiful
Your hands in mine
Paint love with my scars
Better people on the streets
Just follow in your footsteps
I'm right behind them
Searching to find rest
In your perfection

Like the water
Your light washes away my scars
Better people just follow you
I'm following
Searching for perfection
Your perfection
Your perfection
You are perfection
