Almost Spring
I don't want you to need me
That would be too much
You know I'm always easy
Just need something to clutch
And you have all the answers
To questions I won't ask
So will you let me stay here
And let this feeling pass
'Cause I've been awake
Since a sunbeam hit me through your window
The birds were singing
It's almost spring
And I've been alive
For so many years now
Until I was lying here
It didn't mean a thing
I keep walking in circles
Through the streets around your house
And writing in my journal
How I'm making myself proud
And in your kitchen mirror
I watch you from the side
My vision gets much clearer
When you take the things I hide
I fell asleep
In the middle of something we were doing
I like when you can see me
Close to dead
And I've been adrift
On a sea of empty conversation
Now I'm taking my first steps on land in your head
I don't want you to need me
I don't want anything
I just hope you'll always see me
It's almost spring
