Day 16 - Shallow

I started writing this song 10 years ago. This one is personal. Hope you enjoy.



Lyrics after the jump.

Shallow

Nothing short of ageless
You were in that white dress
Beckoning to me
Causing me to sing
Wonder what the tide meant
A beam of light that I bent
Causing me to see
And I feel the way you feel about me
Isn't a feeling at all
Nothing like the way that you excite me
I don't stumble when I fall

You're so shallow
And you don't know
What you could have had
If you had looked in my soul

Nothing like a daydream
A nightly vision you seem
I can't imagine you
Could convince me you are true
Too perfect to feel what I've felt
Can't change the hand I've been dealt
Look beyond the blue
Yet I feel the way you feel about me
Isn't a feeling at all
Nothing like the way that you excite me
I don't need this after all
And I feel like I'm alright
I don't feel this way every night
So afraid of letting go
I don't want to go back home

If I sit in the rain
Will you dry me off again?
If I gain 100 pounds
Will you love me when I'm round?
If I feel like a child
So lost and so in denial
Will you wait patiently
I believe
