Blindsided

Honeymoon lasted until the summer came

Swept up by the waves

No sense in asking ourselves why

Just keep it movin until autumn fades

It will all start falling into place

They say we argue way too much

But I just said too much

The problem was really never you 

And if I’m wrong then let me roam beside the tide

You’ll find me in the winter night

When all is dark and starry eyed

I will fly

I will not fight

if you keep drifting out of sight 

and out of mind

——

Blindsided

You gave up all your moves

I knew me more before I knew you

Who knew you

before me?

Far sighted

Too close to see the truth

You knew me more before I told you

What to do

I blame me

——

Your pheromones and gentle tone 

drew me in

No chance to waste any time

with salt sifting through soft gracious hands 

You remind me that it can all be neverland

I stay because I learn so much

Because I’ve thought too much

About all the things I’ll never do

And if I’m wrong then let me roam beside the tide

You’ll find me in the winter night

When all is dark and starry eyed

I will fly

I will not fight

if you keep drifting out of sight 

and out of mind

——

Blindsided

You gave up all your moves

I knew me more before I knew you

Who knew you

before me?

Far sighted

Too close to see the truth

You knew me more before I told you

What to do

I blame me
——

But an endless well becomes a crutch 

When God feels out of touch

There’s no more water to dilute insecurities

That soul is deep but useless now

I sit in silence, asking how

Have I been adrift so long

Wandering, and not a righteous wandering,

in a dream of what I thought love was

Wonderin’ how to make my way back home

Is it you?

Elusive traveler 

Have you crossed my path 

to lead me back

Into the other side 

Of my mind?

The child in me says go

Learn what you can about letting go

I won’t know until I follow you

To the river where this desert ends

And if I’m wrong then let me roam beside the tide

You’ll find me in the winter night

When all is dark and starry eyed

I will fly

I will not fight

if you keep drifting out of sight 

and out of mind

——

Blindsided

You gave up all your moves

I knew me more before I knew you

Who knew you

before me?

Far sighted

Too close to see the truth

You knew me more before I told you

What to do

I blame me


Blindsided

I gave up all my moves

I knew me before, but didn’t know you

Who knew you

would know me

deeper than I knew myself

The dream was untrue

Realer than the love I thought I knew

The love is you

now salt sifts through soft gracious hands 

don’t look back now, take a stand

You remind me that it will never be neverland

It is all real.
