Wall of Nothings
Wall of Nothings (12/8/2005)
It’s like every time that I see her I get myself tongue tied
Like a Dad with no words the first time that his son lied
And suddenly the fun times just no longer matter
The strength in my knees retreats and I’m shattered
My heart races and patters as the words stumble and stammer
Millions of nothings are concealed in the chatter
I try bad to have her, but I can’t even speak it
The words I can’t say are my own worst kept secret
Cause they all can see it and notice the attraction
And I’m sure they can see that I’m stuck with no traction
Running in place in some race to get no where
I have nothing to say and it seems that I don’t care
But, yet I still go there for a glimpse of her smile
The warmth of her hug like the last step of a mile
Relaxing, exhaling with the worst all behind me
Until I go crazy the next time that out eyes meet
There, somewhere inside me, the composure is lost
My mind gains control, throw’s my heart into frost
Kicking myself for the gap I’m creating
To put down the walls is the call I’m debating
Cause I’d rather be hating and drowning in shadows
Than nuts for a girl who drains the pool shallow
Lifting me up to something I’ve forgotten
The hope and the care and all of that nonsense
Please give me my problems and let me forget this
No, give me the warmth of a hopeful new sentence
I need to be strengthed no matter which way I fall
Cause the way I am now, I am nothing at all
Notes: My flow has been a little off, so this may be a little rough. I’m just trying to decide how I should proceed or if I should at all.
