Roots Before Branches

Me + You

Love songs feel half empty when I'm not with you,
My heart isn't in them; I never know what to do.
I'm not myself when I'm not at my best,
I think you can figure out the rest.
You can read me like a book,
Know how I'm feeling with just one look.
It freaks me out sometimes,
How you can read my soul through my eyes.

I don't need to say anything when I'm feeling like hell,
You'll know exactly how I feel; like I'm under your spell.
There's something so pure in what we have,
Delighted you're my other half.
There was always something missing from this life,
Something I never did quite get right.
Something that is tried and true,
I love me and you.

What kind of sorcery do you have access to?
You can tell a lie and turn it true.
Diamonds glisten more than ever when you're around,
Music sounds so crisp, a sapphire sound.
I'm used to being alone with myself and my thoughts,
You put this introvert to the test and inspired my art.
I thank you for that,
A muse to my romance poetry,
Two hearts perfectly in tact.
Blinded by wondrous glory.

I don't need to say anything when I'm feeling like hell,
You'll know exactly how I feel; like I'm under your spell.
There's something so pure in what we have,
Delighted you're my other half.
There was always something missing from my life,
Something I never did quiet get right.
Something that is tried and true,
I love me and you.

Me and you have a chance at forever,
A love reborn under the most perfect weather.
I can sense triumph in the air,
I used to be lingering so high up there.
Me and you got everything right,
What a perfect, blissful, carefree life.
