when i say, “i’m not going anywhere,”
i mean i’m not coming home. i’m not
as concerned with romance today as yesterday.
i’m sure i’ll be more concerned again tomorrow.
but let me try
try and try and try
to speak the words the sun has left to me
to speak right to the words
in your heart,
the words in my heart.
hey now, sweetheart, show me the way you
want me to see you. hey now, sweetheart, show me
whatever ways you are.
i know how to love what you’re becoming,
not just to love you
for what you are
or what i think you are.
and when i say, “i’m not coming home,”
i mean i can’t head back that way right now.
but i’d like you to know
i’m always headed in your direction,
even before i turn back around.
let me try now, sweetheart, to show you
the words you’re meant to see.
let me try now, sweetheart, to show you
the words my heart’s becoming.
i know that my heart-melt’s about as safe as it can be,
so i won’t try to stop it
as it falls onto your face and heart
when we sleep.
but let me try
try and try and try
to speak the words that choose a direction home
and speak right to the words
we both know,
when i say i’m not going anywhere—
i mean i’m not going anywhere.
i mean i’m not going anywhere.
