Lyrics

Chalking it up
In an Ann’s parking lot
Laughing at our dumb jokes
Drawing amongus on the side walk
Forgetting our worries
Forgetting the world
Eating our ice cream
And talking like no one else exists
Driving down 270
Wondering how we ever met
What a lucky friendship
Just to find itself to me
Because you complimented my outfit
And I wanted a treat
What a fortunate day
Just that week
We hung out for the first time
I was so nervous
I didn’t know what to expect
I felt an instant kinship
And I soon knew why
Both from broken homes
Both chasing the same ideology
Both failing it but climbing with broken fingers
Having no where to belong
We found each other
Instant comfort
No lies or deceit
Just a fun time
Driving down 270
Listening to “your Midwest emo music”
You love so much
And I love it too
Because it’s so you
I love you
Instant family
One heart and mind
A true friend in one day
A brides maid after only four months
What a dream I got to live
After having met you
With eyes so bright but a soul so deep
Struggling by yourself unable to say
But I smile at you kindly
Because I can see the pain in your eyes
I know it all
I hope and pray for your peace
And patiently stand by
Waiting for the day
I can see you glow knowing
That you will live on
I live to see you enjoy life some day
It doesn’t have to be today
I love you like I would my own sister
I’ll do anything if means
You can finally live a life
Worth living
Sometimes you try to be alone
Disappearing for weeks
Unable to know
How to speak or reach out
But I’m quietly waiting to be the hand
That can catch you when you need it
Even though you feel so damaged
So unrepairable
I see such innocence and love in you
You’re so beautiful, kind, and caring
A patience you are unaware of
An unchecked rage of frustration
Because even though you can’t see it
That anger proves part of you still loves yourself
I hope you stay angry
Because you deserve better
And I’ll always be here
Waiting
And waiting
Even after it’s better
I’ll still be here
Smiling at you full of warmth and price
Knowing it finally got better
Life is full of unfair tribulations
But it did give me you
And I’m so grateful for our friendship everyday
I feel a lot less alone
Your existence provides me a peace unspeakable
Truly God given
Even though we’re both so broken and astray
He’s still working for us
And someday I’m sure
We’ll be working together for the better
Not just for ourselves but for everyone broken like us too
We’re just meant to be
And I’m so excited to see
How we evolve and change together
When we grow older
Please don’t tell me you don’t think you’ll live long
It makes my heart sink
I feel a portion of your pain in your words
The inability to perceive life worth living
Because no one could love you the way you deserve
It makes me so angry on your behalf
That no one loved you the way you deserved
But I’m here to do it now
Please adhere to my selfish requests
Please live a little longer
Than you planned to
I love you
