Day-Staring

As I'm day-staring my way through life
I ask my auto-pilot, step aside
Like trying to coax a cloud down from the sky
Come down here, make me alive

Because a split second of a moment that halts time
Can be worth a whole lifetime of waiting
For something more than that same
Mundane life narrative
Transcend us, please

It's in a place where hearts collide
And the love is overwhelming
In a place where a breath of
Fresh air still refreshes my insides

Feel like I am more than
The things that I occupy myself with
I am spending days staring
Waiting for lightning strike

When your hand holds my hand
Let your warmth still fill me
Let your eyes and beautiful sights
Still inspire and thrill me

And if even I drown in stress
And it seems I've begun to forget
Remind me of
The bright sky and the moment we first me

Feel like I am more than
The things that I occupy myself with
I am spending days staring
Waiting for lightning strike

I've finally found something
That is worth holding on to
Scratching and clawing
So I don't lose my grip on you
But why
Why are my arms so tired?
Is it from holding on for dear life?
I shouldn't be wasting time
Waiting for the pulse of something at all
Waiting for the pulse of something at all
