Real

to ignite,
to hold for a short time
to lose everything
you are real
you are everything

to smother,
to never let go
to be timid on these feelings
I am here
I am somewhere I belong

you fade away
I can still see you
you ride behind me
I feel like you are showing me everything

to wrap up,
to walk out
to feel lost while staring at a map
without you, I don't exist
without you, I am not real

you are real my love
so keep holding on to me
even when I am out of sight

Carry Me (holdon)

out of reach
betrayed, diminished, distorted
only three words

it explains everything
crashing, falling, crushed
just hold on

tell your heart
hold on, now
just carry me

now we sit
separated, removed, static
in pieces waiting

even while weak
breathe, listen, see
while oceans sink

three words later
i love you
i am torn

nine times nine
hold on tight
this rides over

you hold on
gripping, releasing, requesting
oh young love

you walked out
goodbye, come back
i need you

Carry Me (nowforever)

pounding somehow
I just lost who I am

who was I back when the sun had rose?
where was I back when you came home?
sometimes I feel like you are all that is holding me
and then I remember, that you are

so here is to the days I forgot I made you feel alive
back when I made you laugh
I felt alive

when you hold me in place
I will ask you to carry me, carry me
now and forever
all I ever wanted was you

so now you want to exit the frame
holding on to everything that i love
and as the curtain falls
the act remains unleft

you are my supporting actor
the one who pulled me back
when any foolish mistake could have been made
you carried me
and said now and forever
