Two new songs/ poems I wrote

Story behind the song/poem: In High School Sophomore year I was really close with this kid name Dylan. I met him after he just returned from rehab. He was a very different character from anyone I'd met before. He had blond hair and wore yummy colone. He would put his arm around me and walk through the halls. We wern't dating in fact he had a g.f later on during our friendship. At one point I believed I loved him because he was the only guy to ever call me beautiful...I was sadly mistaken. Anyway he had a pretty bad home life he'd tell me about it sometimes. Eventually he ran away, dropped off the face of this Earth and I never saw or heard from him again. I sometimes wonder if hes dead but then I imagine meeting him on the streets 30 years from now and I smile a little...


If I could paint the world I'd paint it blue
just like the sky expanding ever so high
just like the ocean stretches out before me
but mostly like the color of your eyes
when you told me the first of many lies
1. I'll never do drugs again
2. I'll always be with you
you swore this was true
as I searched your eyes lost in the deep blue
If I could paint the world I'd paint it green
just like the grass on the other side
just like the palm tree above the tide
but mostly like the color of your shirt
that day you told me another lie
3. I'm running away from home it's only temporary
4. I'll be back soon
you swore this was true
as your green shirt wrapped it's arms around me
If I could paint the world I'd paint it pink
just like the flamingos
just like bubble gum
but mostly nothing like you
it hurts to much to paint the world all the colors of you

There's better days ahead
when your lying in your bed
the world slows to a crawl
you want to stop it all
but think before you fall
if I knew that you were hurting inside
why wont you confide in me?
I pray that you can make it
through the rain to see the rainbow
I pray for all those struggeling
you are not alone
theres better days ahead
why wont the world slow down
shine light on the lost and make them found
one million every year
a cause that I hold dear
you are not alone
there's better days ahead
when your lying in your bed
the world slows to a crawl
you want to stop it all
but think before you fall
