Walk With Me

I could get caught up in your life
It's not that difficult
I could get sidelined by your smile
That's so typical
The major chords strum gracefully
But the minor chords, to me, are just so memorable

I could remember all the times
I fell in love again
I could just relish simple life
And try to settle in
I could spend every waking moment
Making tea and vicariously adventuring

But why should I conform to what you think is best for me?
"I'll never be the norm," I scream to all the deities
I'll sing this chorus at your rooftop while my voice cracks out of key
And I will wish that for this moment you would stop

And walk with me

I wish you would walk with me

I could chase money, could chase women
That's so commonplace
I could throw everything inside
To fill my empty space
But I've got my eyes on bigger prizes
There will be no compromises in my glory days

I could tell you my whole life's story
Let you deep inside
I could try to control my anger
Try to kill my pride
I could jettison myself away
And rebuild brick by brick, but I would rather die

And why should I conform to what you think is best for me?
I said I'd never be the norm, so normal I will never be
I'll shout my lungs out while you're dreaming in bed far away from me
And I will wish during that moment you'd awaken

And walk with me

I wish you would walk with me

This isn't easy, I know
I've been going so long solo
But sometimes life is hard for me to put in words
I'll take your breath away again
I will intertwine with your skin
And I will make your body shiver till it hurts
But this is one pain that you'd wish for
A feeling so innately blissful
A feeling I have had inside me every day
And I will bear inside your mind
The same way that you bear in mine
And I believe that we will one day find our way

So I will never conform to what you think is meant to be
'Cause if I did that, you and I both would think so much less of me
I'll keep on shouting out for you until you shout right back to me
And then I'll smile and hold your hand and watch the stars

As you walk with me
