Veins

I wish that in my bubble,
my perfect little word,
that's all I ever needed to live
your love

I wish I never needed food
I wish it always made my heart move
Just to live in a corner of your heart
just how things would be
just how great they would be

How my body wouldn't need the air
how I'd never fear
just to stay
in your love

and I couldn't tell you,
what the outside felt to the touch
couldn't tell you how it burns
wouldn't be able to speak of,
 how my stomach always turns

just fifteen
and I get to pretend
that I don't really live where I do
everyday, with you, I am somewhere new
just to stay

A month

I wish I could tell you how I feel
without making my waters work
or putting my pride to waste
but darling I wouldn't know how to tell you,
even if I knew what to say

If I stop fearing,
what I fear the most
maybe this would go away
but baby you told me,
you told me that this wouldn't stay

I wish that there was only one road left to travel
and darling these feet are too tired to always be going
but I woke to never knowing
I sleep to never stop walking

If this is it at it's worst
traveled roads alone
in time, in time again,
is a decent way to live an untraveled life

Soap

Let's let the river flow between us,
let's let the drops fall too near
let's take this where we haven't been, dear,
so the water can bend our minds

I never want you whisper,
any farther than I can't hear
and I never want your heart, dear,
any distance I can't find

In this light, if we say here,
all the things you want to tell
my soul could never feel, dear,
If the river was never so unrefined
