Cast Iron

Sometimes you're difficult to read.
As much as I say I know you,
You're elusive to my mind.

I never lied to you,
And you bet I never will.
I cannot look you in the eyes
Without you melting my insides.

I miss the times
You used to kiss me in my car and in your bed.
Those nights we'd spend alone,
Stick in my head.

And I love to
Catch your bottom lip with mine.
These stupid labels and conventions
Cast your heart off the coastline.

Just spend one night with me
Even though you say I shouldn't stay.
You'd make my life complete
For just one day.

What holds your heart behind these bars?
Is it distance and distraction?
Close your eyes and walk with me
As it rains upon our heads.

I wanna spend all of my hours
Just laying in your bed.
Running my fingers through your hair
And kissing on your neck.

Will I ever get the chance
To hear those words from you again?
I wanna see the reassuring light
That your eyes used to give to me.

Save me.
Baby.
You're all I want,
You're in my dreams,
Constantly.
