I wrote this one night that i was watching videos of young Conor and i just have this idea and vision of him that is precise.Like when i think about him i picture him at age 20 wearing a dull looking shirt and that black necklace thing wrapped around his neck while he plays his guitar and sings in Bright Eyes.

Feb/13/2016
My night could be better
But watching your bodies anxious ways and passionate outbursts
Through this screen is all i want to do
Although of course i do wish i was there with you
Your beautiful focusnes and sentiment in every song
Just makes my heart melt and my halfles soul long
For those moments i could have spend with you
But time won't stop coming and while i listen to your voice all i think is "me too"
Is there only one right person for everyone out there?
Have you found her? is she enough for you?
Does she truly care?
About even the slightest of things that have gone on in your life
Does she really deserve the privilege of being called your "wife"
If she does i am so very happy, you deserve only the best
I still wish i would sing to you and keep you warm in a love filled nest
This would be a very different song if i got stuck in the age gap
Instead i'll just write this song and think about you while i'm taking a nap
Your foot tapping rapidly on the floor for some reason doesn't make me (feel) uneasy
Your closed eyes and honest voice makes falling in love seem easy
I wish i could live inside of your arms
Thinking about you this much only harms
My expectations of everyone else around me
