Little streets

Forwards and backwards
Here and there
I turn to you
You look into my eyes
I look away
You lay your head on my shoulder

Caught in our own world
I marvel at your passion
And I am engrossed in it
We walk down the same road
No questions or pretense
Beautiful in its simplicity

What is it like to be in love?
Having my arms around you
I feel like I’ve been missing a lot

Not everyone can see the world like you do
I appreciate your independence, your confidence, your light
You reach out for my hand
I take yours and don't let go

You're a free spirit
I never thought I could learn to appreciate someone like you
But you’ve made me find another side of me
You’ve helped me see that I don’t need much to be happy
That happiness is in the simple things
That sometimes all I need is a companion to see the world with

I know that I can't have you
I could, but I shouldn't even try
I'd like to, but I know that I won’t
No need for words or promises
No sense of time
As everything beautiful comes and goes
We rest in the security that fate will lead us to where we belong

Someday, I’d like to walk down those little streets again
I hope that I could do it with someone like you

Closer

Let go of your inhibitions
I've let go of mine
Such a tired and tortured heart
It's time it learned to love again

Let me in
Give me a chance
I'll make you feel comfort
I will keep you warm
Cold nights will never be sweeter
Your healing heart will find new life
This summer blush will burn
Your face, never as bright
Your smile, never as secure

Take a step
And then another
You'll find that it becomes easier
You'll find that you wouldn't have it any other way

Open road

Strolling down these quiet roads
Waiting for each turn to unfold
The day is young
The blue skies beckon us
We are in the heart of the world

The sunshine in our smiles
Memories made with each step,
Each sighting, each new opportunity
A new world ripe for discovery
New eyes for tired souls recovering

We hold tight in our hands
All of life's possibilities
The day is ours for the taking
Recklessly happy
Blissfully ignorant
We are children once more
And the world is our playground
