Better Man
You look so pristine
with a joint rolled in your hand
I fell in love with the scent of your skin
like lavender and beach sand

I want to be the main character
in the plot of your daydreams
and if you drink a beer in the shower
I hope that you think of me

I never knew I was lost
until you became my compass
I never knew I had secrets
until you taught me how to confess

You're a sunset with a purple sky
You're a sunflower in a garden full of weeds
You make me hope for forever
You make me think of wedding rings

You left stains on my soul
like a teacup on the kitchen table
and if the seas get too rough
I'll steer this ship if I'm able

I promise to keep walking through the storm
if the rain separates us
I'll be waiting to hold your hand
when the sun comes back up

I'll spend the rest of my life
proving that I can be a better man
so if this love needs one of us to bleed
I'll push a knife through my heart, as far as I can
