The Soundtrack To My Heart

Its like I see you thorough a closed window
such perfection and no fogged up glass to distort you

It kills me that I cannot touch what is so close 
I almost wish I could pull down the shades
and give this up this quest once and for all.

But there is something about you that I can't shake
You make me feel like a kid again 
watch me make cookies in my easy bake.
Your my hearts favorite song, my eyes favorite make.

I model for you every time your in my face. 
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for your love.
And I try not to invest too many feelings
because I know in the end what's at stake. 

I keep doing it again and again to myself
like a stupid repetitive chorus. I visit you 
so much in my mind and heart you could 
have sworn that I was a tourist.
 
When the tears come down my eyes I search for a thesuarus. 
Some word, some definition to help me comprehend
why I feel this way.

And when it comes to you there 
isn't another soul that I am more afraid. I wish I could
wish this all a way. But this is the soundtrack to my heart
and it's forever on replay.
