new one

i’m in love with a girl
who doesn’t even know my name
but that’s alright
cause i’m not too familiar
with her either

so how long will i spin
in a cycle of lost causes
and broken hearts
cause i don’t know
how much more i can take

as i totter back and forth
between waves of distress
and feel vainly devoted
to a promise beyond
my understanding

i’d rather sing and dance
and laugh outloud
and write a song
that i’ll only play for you
when we fall in love

but even as i write these words
my mind speeds down
that lonely desert highway
while my heart strains
to hitch a ride home

so here’s to you
my love
when you hear me
i’ll be screaming
she’s mine forever

and she will be my romance
