Poem constructed with Andrew McMahon song titles
Let Me Save You... I know you don't want to be rescued And I'm no heroine but I want to save you. I'm ready to watch you unravel On a bad day. I'll help you travel If you need a holiday from real. I'll be the astronaut who takes you Up into space to see every star Like the time I took you for a spin after I woke up in a car. The roads were painted dark blue-- The mixed tape that I made for you Sat inside the pocket of my jeans And we slipped into the airwaves as you told me all your dreams. I was calm; you were a hurricane Until I told you, "you can breathe." This broken heart might feel bruised But it's not what it seems. Go ahead, roll down the window So you can see the lights and buzz 'Cause when I've reached the last straw Good news will meet me at my window I'll break myself to help you So let's sit and watch the sky Look at me and the moon And I won't make you cry. *Originally posted on this blog o
