3am Forever

It’s 3am as the waves come in
They’re both thinkin the same but no one is sayin
What he wants, what she needs to convey
In a breath, he thinks her smile is intoxicating
He wants to wipe her tears away
Or let her cry on his shoulder

She hopes the moment could always stay
Hold your breath, it’s almost over

He reaches out a shaking hand
And she holds it tightly, together they are strong
He leans in and kisses her lightly
This feels so right though they both know it might be wrong
He hope he can say someday it was worth it all along

They both face retribution in their own ways
Consequences of making a relationship and breaking another
Then follows the silence and misery’s dividing line
The weight those two breaking hearts are under

He thinks to himself “What have I done...
“I’m a ruiner and bad little broken man.
My friends are gone and the girl I love
Is with a guy who’ll never her talk to me again.

Why did I reach out that clumsy hand
Thinking she’d hold it tightly? For a moment I was strong
I leaned in and kissed her so lightly
It felt so right but of course it was wrong
I hope someday I might be able to say it was worth it all along.”

She’s breakin down, lost in pieces on the ground
Can’t be found inside himself, her art, her bleeding heart
In lines that she writes him, though her boyfriend, it ignites him
Sayin’ she’s not worth the attention he pays her sometimes
And he still wonders why she so trusted some other guy

She’s got to get out
The happiest moment in a long time was when
The man of her dreams let his guard down, and

He reached out a loving hand
And she held it shyly, never felt so strong
He leaned in and kissed her so rightly
Never felt so right, like she truly belonged
If she can find a way back to her arms, she knows
It’ll be worth it all along

He waits outside her door
As she pours her heart into broken glass
And drinks down her heavy thoughts slowly
The overflow leaks
Through pen and page
Left for another day, captured in key strokes
Like a digital serenade

He hears her voice far away and it frees him
He calls out, one heart to another
He holds out his hand, she takes it with that intoxicating smile
Together they are strong and both know they belong
And it was worth it all along
