Great Way to Be

Open windows let in a sigh, I look out at a beautiful summer night. The laptop is open, I've got work to do, but all I've been doing is thinking of you. Music is playing, I'm singing out loud, these words are dancing, I want you around. I might have to hate you to get me some peace, but no.

This feeling is too sweet to ignore
Sure it hurts but then I'd be bored

I'm going out jogging tonight, I'll smell flowers and grass, sweet scents of the past. That's the road I grew up in, where I climbed up the clouds and you saw me. We never thought you'd have me, it took us by surprise, blood started to rise. And then we were gone, the stars hindered our flight. And yes they were right, you needed her light.

Sure it hurts but then I'd be bored

I see how you've grown now, and yes I am proud, I'm so silly, you're wise, this is the path I'll follow now. The next bend is yours, we'll meet someday and then, somehow, somewhere, we'll grow up again. That's the chair we sat on, she plotted your dreams. This love will take you higher, I'll watch from the trees.

Here's your silly girl, who grew up with clouds. She fell to the ground and was laughing out loud when you found her, grass stains were stuck to her face. The skirt was all over, she's tangled in lace.

Brown eyes that meet, who knew each other before, will always remember being kids on the floor. Wrestling on backyards and fighting for cake, he ate all the burnt pies she started to bake.

Caring for kittens, and laughing till night, she broke tita's dishes, he hid them in fright. Wanting to hold her, that very first day, when she told him at last, I'm moving away.

They swung across rivers, on frayed ropes, you see.
And that in itself, is a great way to be.
