I lay in bed, thinking.
About how far the moon is from here.
About why grown-ups complain about the beautiful snow
About 22 hours from now, when I'll see your smile again
I can't sleep; it's as if tomorrow were Christmas day
I sit here, forgetting.
forgetting all the times you forgot me;
pardoning all the times you pushed me away
erasing the moments when you told me no
I can't help but need you; the sun shines when we're together
I stand here, waiting.
waiting for you to notice me
waiting to gain your approval, and attention
waiting for you to love me
I can't help but love you; please don't leave me here
Wide-eyed and laughing, I peer into your heart
I see the monsters, the darkness, the mud
I'm not gonna let them stay.
I can roar louder
I have the best flashlight
and if you'll dance in the rain with me, I promise everything will be ok
