YES

We all struggle
as we grow
and we all learn
what we must know

Now the light is fading,
and everyone is giggling
I wonder if they really know,
that when we try to be different
we're really all the same

Does anyone else notice?
When we break free
we are really
only
kidding ourselves?

Everyone is similar
We care about the same things
Live in the same world
Laugh at the same things

Try to identify us?
We all are all grasping,
looking for a way
variety
but really
we are not
we are not

Drama
is the worst thing that could ever happen to us
and yet,
we all try to be different,
but don't we realize
we are really all the same?

By the light of the fire

I was pretty happy
and i just lied down in the grass
Hoping someone would join me
no one did
but it was fine
i looked on at my friends around the campfire
the music played again and again in my head
i looked at you
having so much fun
not a care in the world
you were an artist right then
taking pictures of the fire
and your laugh echoed
right through my hears
a sacred 
chime of bells to me
And i just stared at you
thinking
how happy i am
how happy you are
and i stared to sing out loud
"i don't see what anyone can see"
well that's certainly true i thought
as the next line formed in my mouth
"in anyone else"


"but you"

and you had no idea
what i was thinking right then
but
you probably could 
have
guessed.
<3

You also pointed out how i often complain about leaving
it's true
i don't complain too often i hope
but if i do
it's usually a pretty good reason
and then reason is
i was so happy right there
with you
with everyone
why would i want to leave that?
because  i know as soon as i do
my heart begins to yearn for you again
and i want to live in that moment
over and over
i want to stay in that happy place for ever
so if i complain about leaving,
i'm sorry
but i want 
to 
stay
with
you
