She tells me

She’s a mess
At least that’s what she tells me
As beautiful as the sun kissed ocean in winter

Her heart as open too

I’m not looking for trouble
I’m not looking for anything
At least that’s what she tells me

All the time lying in my arms lying to herself

We both know
She knows
I know I know

She’s already in deep and she knows it

I’m a mess
I’m a difficult person to know
I can me hard to be around

At least that’s what she tells me

The moon moves the tides
The stars glow bright in the sky
and she climbs down like a dream

Into open arms and an open heart

This can’t be real
It can’t be anything good
I’m not looking for trouble

At least that’s what she tells me

All the while climbing down like a dream
Into my heart and soul
Leaving memories of beaches sand fresh under foot

I don’t need you
I want you
I want you to hold me, believe in me

At least that’s what she tells me

Waking next to her in mid-morning

I believe her

Because that’s what she tells me…
