parched lips

-awakening senses in all the corners
i thought was long gone unappreciated-

-could you make me feel like
the way you've been loving me forever?-

meet me in the salty ocean water
my fingers were clearing up the path
to find the light that was lost
but you ended up right next to me

and it didn't even come off as a surprise
how you're holding onto me
and i can see what it does to you

so maybe one day i'll see myself out
singing out tired, lying in an ocean bed
you'll search for the glimmer in my eyes
where it once had been

i wish you'd hold my face
and kiss my parched lips

like you did
that night i was crying
i said i was hopeless
and you remained
the only one i could
look at without fear
and it felt so much clearer then

i wish you'd hold my face
and kiss my parched lips
even though you know i'm gone

selfish, use all of you myself
