All I Can Do

I wish I could take your sleepless nights
and trade them in for a lullaby
and all the stupid, pointless fights
every insult slung, every tear you cry
you know you’re lucky
you know how to feel
and you know how to love
and decipher what’s real
I wish could take your run down days
and trade them in for starry skies
and in the field where our bodies lay
I could just whisper to you, “You’re mine”
And I can’t take the pain away
but i know a few tricks to relieve the sighs
the heavy heart, the voices fade
Just cause something’s said, doesn’t make it right
I wish I could tell you you’re beautiful
and kiss those lips that move so sweet
and never be anything but truthful
and just let me sweep you off your feet
For every frown that lies on your face
I’d trade them in for daisies
a tornado can be a glorious change
cause it grows and strengthens in phases
If you were a whirlwind, I’d chase you down
through snow and rain, debri and pain
and in these circles that are spinning you round
I will catch you just the same.
