Lovelines

an original song

I wanna walk on your tightrope
without bringing your down
I wanna jump all the stories
without seeing the ground
and I could be your shadow
you'd never know I'm there
but I want you to want me
to be more than your air
'Cause I wanna be in every pocket, every dime store locket
of your mind
'cause I wanna be
the girl who keeps you taking your time
'cause I wanna be
yours and mine
not just a state of mind
I wanna color inside your lovelines
I can see it in you
your tragic tendencies
baby, you don't know me
I've sailed ever sea
though your heart may be freezing
chattering teeth
I'll be right beside you
with heart handled heat
'Cause I wanna be in every pocket, every dime store locket
of your mind
I wanna be
the girl who keeps you taking your time
I wanna be
yours and mine
not just a state of mind
I wanna color inside your lovelines
and I've never known love like candied apples or carnivals in fall
I've never known love like holding hands
or anything at all
I've only known love like
empty promises
and unanswered calls
hurting through it all
But you already are in every pocket, every dime store locket of my mind
you are the boy
who keeps me taking my time
you are every single state of mind
you are the color inside my lovelines
you are the color inside my lovelines*
