Presence

This world is insane
But to sit in your presence
Or to lay down next to you
Makes me forget this world exists
And I feel sane

The power of you simply being
Is enough to move me
Out of this world and into the next
It's something otherworldly
Like it should be

You don't know what it means to me
For you to be you
And to be in step with the songs
The universe is playing
Something like the records of yesteryear

Oh my god, the suffocating stories
Make me feel like I can't breathe
But your heartbeat in rhythm with mine
Causes an air of wonder to fill my soul
And I want to go on and on

You bring the dreams to my night
All the reasons to get up tomorrow
And I would give everything away
To keep these moments in your presence
Repeating like the morning dawn
