Songbirds

Emo Side Project


the swingsets swinging and the songbirds singing 
and i can't help but remember when we sat there together 
with your legs rocking back and forth and toes scrunching up 
my hand in your hand, you looked up and said 
"baby, i love you like no one loves anything 
and take me forever, just take me forever 
and we'll be together, as long as i'm yours and i promise it'll all be alright" 

i said "sweetie don't worry, i'm already yours nothing can come between us" 
and the songbirds still singing so i started dancing 
and you couldn't help but smile at me 
the laughter and joy brought us together 
the love for each other kept us together 
and i walked you home, even though the weather was unsure of what it would be 

when we arrived at your house you asked me to come in 
and i was so damn nervous, i tried keeping my distance 
trembling fingers, and when you moved up to kiss me 
i think for a second it killed me 
i gave you a flower completely in bloom 
and you started dancing didn't stop till you were tired 
and i couldn't help but smile and we laid on your bed 
and we both feel asleep together. 
the sunlight playing readily across your face 
the swingset swinging and the songbirds, still singing
