a face to call home

I'm an architect
Of days that haven't happened yet
I can't believe a month is all it's been
You know my paper heart
The one I filled with pencil marks
I think I might've gone and inked you in

Little by little, inch by inch
We built a yard with a garden in the middle of it
It ain't much but it's a start
You got me swaying right along to the song in your heart
And a face to call home
A face to call home
You got a face to call home

So good you didn't see
The nervous wreck I used to be
You'd never know a girl could feel so small
And you never look at me
Like I'm a liability
I bet you think I've never been at all

Little by little, inch by inch
We built a yard with a garden in the middle of it
And it ain't much, but it's a start
You got me swaying right along to the song in your heart

And a face to call home
A face to call home
You got a face to call home

A face to call home
A face to call home
You got a face to call home

Maybe I could stay a while,
Maybe I could stay a while,
Maybe I could stay a while,
I'm talkin' like all of the time

A face to call home.

it takes a fool to love you, and i'm just the fool for you.

the best thing about us, is that we can fight like animals and yet at the end of it all, we still love each other more than ever.

its strange, because if it were anyone else, i'd still be seething through my teeth, pondering what actions i should eventually take to make them feel more hurt than i was--this can go on for days.

but you?

i might still be seething through my teeth, but i still love you, and its the time we spend away from each other while we calm ourselves down that kills me the most. it almost forces me to forgive you, because it's not that i can't stand being angry at you, its that i can't stand you being angry at me.

i always have to be near you, touch you, see you.

is that an obsession?

i don't know anymore, but as long as you're happy, i'm happy too.
