As the weekend slowly turns
Into something that could be long term
All I need is an inspiring word
Blow the dust off from a book
I only bought because of how it looked
And some reviews that made me feel I should
I put a record on, a forgotten song
I used to listen to when I was young

And then a sound rings true
And all that I want to do
Is pick up the phone
and tell you how much it could mean to you
If only you heard it too
If I could play it just for you
You'd feel that groove
Hear that voice
See that view

As the winter seems to end
Before it started (I can make no sense
Of how the seasons change)
I put my running shoes back on
The Hokas that I haven't worn
Since I bought them online last fall
I take my headphones on and choose a song
That tells me youth is not just for the young

And then a sound rings true
And all that I want to do
Is pick up the phone
And tell you how much it could mean to you
If only you heard it too
If I could play it just for you
You'd feel that groove
Hear that voice
See that view

And I want
No frills and no hidden meanings
Just lines where honesty shines
Write me something that can make me blush
I want something to relate to
But still I need to escape
A punch followed by a warm embrace
A feeling that will stay
When soft winds blow my way
Something to bear the weight
Of what I'm struggling to say
A sentiment that's worth
To echo out the hurt
A joy that's best described
In literary rhymes
