If you could see me

What colour was the sky when you woke up today?

Were the clouds mocking you as they drifted away?

I could’ve sworn I heard your voice echo by the stairway.

I wish I knew all the right words to say.

If I look you in the eye, will you promise to stay?

Okay maybe, I should let the chips fall where they may.

But I love the sound of your voice, from way before we met.

I know I’ve been nothing but cold and detached.

So how do I make you sing these words that I write?

Cause it always feels like home when your voice lingers in the air.

I didn’t mean to steal glances or catch your stare.

If you say the magic words, I’ll let down my hair.

But if these locks start to break, I’ll spare you the heartache.

But tell me, what colour will the sky be when you finally see me?

Will the clouds dance and linger, infinitely?

Cause you’re a distant star now.

How do I get you to fall back home?

I wish I knew what Rapunzel would do,

cause I can’t sing

and my heartstrings are waiting for you.
