Riverbeds

Take me to the river bed Lay me down in ivory sheets, hmm You can rest your head for now forever You're all that I know Please, don't let me go I'll collect the water from your eyes Help you sail through darkest nights You'll never be alone Times get hard I know I'm far from perfect But please, don't run Our stories just begun Anger gets the best of me I say things I don't mean All I want is to be seen I've got scars I know that need to heal Before you. I could barely feel At your feet I kneel Caught in the half light Held you since midnight Loved you at first sight Silhouetted by the headlights I'm just a boy, lost in the world You're just a girl, pure as a sea pearl I'm just a boy, lost in the noise You're just a girl, thorns like a rosebud I've got a past that's torn and broken Yet you always let me in, ooh My walls are built up high I'm far from right But you always seem to try You're up for the climb I don't have much to give except my love I hope it's enough We're living off the cuff Read to me until I fall asleep But you stay up watching me As I slip into a dream Wake up at daylight I know life is finite But if we hold tight Our souls will be forever starlight I'm just a boy, lost in the world You're just a girl, pure as a sea pearl I'm just a boy, lost in the noise You're just a girl, thorns like a rosebud I'm just a boy, lost in the world You're just a girl, pure as a sea pearl I'm just a boy, lost in the noise You're just a girl, thorns like a rosebud I'm just a boy, lost in the world You're just a girl, pure as a sea pearl I'm just a boy, lost in the noise You're just a girl, thorns like a rosebud
