Analysis of Accross from here
Tunnel to love
Bless my path
Waiting for the sunrise
And you to be here
How I grow anxious
When will love appear
The greatest prize
So full of tears
Did I break you
Tear your inner piece
With my silent grief
Enthusiasm and excitement
Left with childhoods breath
Who are you looking for in you
What happiness?
Can you see through.
Yet what how who where when can help
If all I know Is too scared to yelp
Your patience was left in the seaside kelp
You try to throw everything away
To start again everyday
Yet you bring the material to my door
And expect me to focus on what means more.
How do I grow in your hollow heart
If you can't forgive me tearing you apart
So we live as one in separate lives
What you want is gone
So who are you trying to fool while you sharpen your knives.
I never forgot the tears you brought and do still.
You know you leave me back in the windowcill
Taking until I can barely breath
Oh where is the sunrise to relieve.
Yet I forgive you as if you can't grow
Life is hard as you very well know
I look at the glimpses of light in your eye
I see the layers of your inner child
So who am I to say grow up
A commitment for us wouldn't even be enough.
We're both broken looking for repair
All I expect is for your heart to be there.
