For Thee

I see what I see and I can't change it
What I want and what I need are disconnected
If moments are victims of time
Has there been a moment that I
Have already missed you

For I dream for a dream better than this
But I guard my ship like it needs protection
Alone on this island I think
That you could be out on the sea
And I could swim to you
Maybe I'll swim to you

I hold my heart for thee
My mind's a valley that I
Hope to discover in time so I
Hold my heart for thee
Waiting for my perfect muse
Desperate for something to lose
But I fear that life ain't
What it seems to be

A rose is still a rose even when it bleeds
Am I still a man if I don't reach my expectations
A shadow's a trace of its source
But I don't know who that is anymore
Tell me what I should do
Say the word and I'll swim to you

I hold my heart for thee
My mind's a valley that I
Hope to discover in time so I
Hold my heart for thee
Waiting for my perfect muse
Desperate for something to lose
But I fear that life ain't
What it seems to be
To be
Oh to be
To be

All of the places I've seen
All of the people I meet
Fade and amount to nothing
Without you without you

I hold my heart for thee
My mind's a valley that I
Hope to discover in time so I
Hold my heart for thee
Waiting for my perfect muse
Desperate for something to lose
But I fear that life ain't
What it seems to be
