Love You More Than Life

 antiseptic towelettes
 and a life that's not worth living
 unless you're there
 with your long, long hair
 falling on my face
 and when i think of you i smile
 because of your beauty immense
 haven't seen you in a while
 and things just aren't making sense
 and yet i know
 when i see your eyes next
 it will be okay
 same times, different places
 scary new thoughts, same sweet faces
 paper notes and dark alleyways
 cold, cold nights and texas days
 i wrote this song for you
 because i love you more than life

 i'm a dotted line
 and you're my white chocolate
 died red to signify love
 agression and passion are fleeting emotions
 you're just around my corner.
 your beauty resides so close to home
 but you're so far away
 and even though i haven't had the bliss to meet you
 you take away my fears
 cold hands rushing down our backs
 harsh words seeping through our eyes
 little pieces of freedom
 little shreds of light
 on your love
 my love
 tonight.
