Cliches

There's only so much love to give
There's only so much life to live
and if you mind, I'd like to share it with you.

There's so many people with so many faces
There's so many views in so many places
and if you mind, I'd like to see them with you.

Could this be, I'm falling fast?
My head's feeling overcast
with thoughts of romance shadowed by circumstance.

Could this be, I'm falling hard?
My heart's all burnt up and chard
with a fire that burns hotter than the sun itself.

It hurts to feel, no longer numb
Smiles, where did they come from?
A hold on me, the tightest grip
Can barley stand to watch you slip.
Can barley stand to hear you say goodbye.

Every second I'm awake
I wish I could feel your embrace
Open arms around my crowded self.

Wonder if you think of me
When your face is all I see
Are people's thoughts all intertwined?

My chest grows tight
My face burns bright
My hands are colder than the ice
Than the deepest corners of an arctic paradise.

Though my pens feel out of ink
1000 thoughts of you, I think
Try to write them but a mess is all that i produce.

Mangled in my mind tonight
Nothing more could feel so right
Could fill a void I didn't know I had.

If fate falls in our favor dear
We'll be together have no fear
I intend to kiss you before the clock runs out.

If feeling empty's the diagnosis
Think of holding me your closest
I promise emptiness will be the last thought that you have.

I'm no doctor, no PHD
but the cure seems awfully clear to me
All we've gotta do is bite our tongues.

Remember sometimes good things come true
And I think this is a sometimes moment for you
And my gut has never steered me wrong.

So there, for you, many cliches
your favourite kind of thing to say.
Even better, they're all true
Your twice as favourite thing, for you.
