Lay Awake

Reflections of my eyes In the screen of my phone The sun glares into the brown Making yellow dots And turquoise spots Revealing all the words I can't say out loud I am a wandering poet Or so they say I am a hopeless romantic And I fear one day My words they will fade And I'll lay in my bed And I won't know the names of my Children or my wedding day I'll just lay awake Connection over coffee In this city unknown The inside feels like a town That I've seen before Across the shore The town that grew up around I am a wandering poet Or so they say I am a hopeless romantic And I fear one day My words they will fade And I'll lay in my bed And I won't know the names of my Children or my wedding day I'll just lay awake And if I didn't write about it, did it really happen? If I didn't tell my sister, did the trees really fall? Did I run away at all or is some kind of thought That I'll have when I'm older, and I lay awake Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh I am a wandering poet Or so they say I am a hopeless romantic And I fear one day My words they will fade And I'll lay in my bed And I won't know the names of my Children or my wedding day I'll just lay awake
