Theory

It starts with a crush
a gaze from across the room
a straight face is all that is needed.
Two sets of eyes meet
and right away blinking feels impossible,
You're caught in a trance, stuck to one another.
Something inside of you; call it guts; call it your intuition; tells you to go for it
regardless of the outcome.
Whats the worst that could happen?
Who wants to spend their lives wondering what if?
Phone numbers are exchanged just as easily as smiles and before you know it,
you find yourself opposite of him/her sharing a meal.
Four months later, you wake up and
it seems like just yesterday that waking up next to him/her was only a dream.
It's all about trust at this level.
Keep the jealousy to a minimum, there is no room for it at this age.
Love is a tricky thing at twenty. Is this love?
Just a fling?
Who knows?
The only thing that matters is the two of you.
It's all about being with someone who will be there for you at the end of the night.
Who cares what your friends think?
As long as you see fireworks, every night is the Fourth of July.

The Most Beautiful Vessel on the Sea

She is the ship
and I'm at the helm
I'll captain this vessel
on its voyage through hell
Her ex is the waters
the ocean's not calm
crashing waves at our hull
but our vessel stays strong
Navigating the shallows
and shark-infested reefs
I'll guide my U.S.S Gorgeous
with the greatest of ease.
CRASH!
Ink meets tree... eventually.
Tree turns to paper
through a bunch of events
my mind's in another place
through this substance I vent.
It lets me say
what I could not otherwise
about the girl I have fallen for
I'd fall a million more times
She's perfect but I'm
not the only who sees
perfection's reflection
in her smile, her sneeze.
Her eyes, her voice
like a ticking time bomb
and until it goes off
I'll just remain calm
She's perfect, she's pretty
she's as sweet as can be
But she'll never be mine
something I'll have to see
Well, hopefully
there is plenty of time
maybe there is a miracle in reach for me.
Anyway, back to our voyage
and icebergs galore
I spin the wheel to avoid them
until my wrists grew sore
I want my ship to be happy
no matter the cost
I'll just be her friend
if captain's too much
But just always know
if she ever needs a captain
you know who you are
addition by subtraction
I'll be on the shore
awaiting your call
you're the only ship I want
you outclass and are the most beautiful of them all...

Wake Up Call

You straight-up lied to all of your quote, unquote best friends,
but they couldn't give a shit less
they would rather hate me instead.
Its so much easier to hate the kid who loved them so,
I'd do anything for those fucking kids, but they would rather believe you.
All you wanted was a girl to try and mend your broken life,
that your ex put on your chest, do me a favor and twist that knife.
You were kissing two girls at one time, doing whatever it takes;
but no one gives a fuck about that, they're just too mad at me.
I hope your tires lose their grip on 95,
so you appreciate what it is like to be breathing and alive.
You made my life a living hell
talking all that trash,
I hope that one day your best friend
STABS YOU IN THE FUCKING BACK!
You've made my life a living hell,
thank God I have the girl,
she saw through your bullshit,
and eventually... everyone will.
