The One You Love Is Mostly Water

the one you love is mostly water
and you've been sleeping in the sun
the one you love is puzzle pieces
but there's no picture on the box

your heart once broke and then you decided
to love yourself but it was unrequited

and your life equals 29000 days
you spend a third asleep, the rest is spent awake but dreamt away
and your cells, all those tiny little cells
are replaced in seven years, so make a mark before you're someone else

the sought for love can be misleading
but nothing is completely safe to believe in
so you beat yourself almost senseless with
your young heart pounding harder than a fist

your confidence is a shaky thing to hold on to
like a rope bridge, frayed and twisting under you
so don't write that book then no-one will hate it
and don't leave your room unless you're awaited
(no, no, no...)
hold your head high and stay consistent
and don't leave your path of most resistance

but when she's near there's no word for how it feels
she's a missing battery, you're two poles in synergy
one is positive if one is negative

the one you love is mostly water
so be there to dry the tears
