Sometimes I feel that what I need to do
Is to take a childlike tumble
To let myself miss a step on the stairs
And trip the rest of the way down
My stomach drops out, there's a moment of fear
But the carpet is soft at the bottom
Sprawled on the floor looking up at the ceiling
Time to let the giggles escape
For a moment of clarity
Give me a childlike tumble
a bump
a small crash
a slight bruise
A moment to remember maybe I'm not so grown up
That sometimes I still miss a step
Every once and again
I need a childlike tumble
Just so I can laugh in the end
Is to take a childlike tumble
To let myself miss a step on the stairs
And trip the rest of the way down
My stomach drops out, there's a moment of fear
But the carpet is soft at the bottom
Sprawled on the floor looking up at the ceiling
Time to let the giggles escape
For a moment of clarity
Give me a childlike tumble
a bump
a small crash
a slight bruise
A moment to remember maybe I'm not so grown up
That sometimes I still miss a step
Every once and again
I need a childlike tumble
Just so I can laugh in the end

Brighter lights fill the night and
Bluer skys reflect in your eyes
As I inspect and analyze
All of these dreams I don't recognize
If you're still up when the ships
In the port prepare to set sail
Comb the beach and put those blue flowers up in your ponytail
Inside my head you're voice is still resounding but what can I do?
Empty rooms feel cold when I am so used to being with you
Count the stars, watch the waves absorb the summer sun
And think of me
As you explore hidden coves
And tiny island chains through the sea...
nice
so poetic...
