Put in place

You want control
You want to have a little soul
But life's always getting in the way
The life; the one you try to push away

You want order
You want facts and numbers
A theory to explain it away
Because everything should fit into something
Everything in it's place, even when you have none

You want control today
And, perhaps to stay sane
But there it is
The careful walls all falling down
The man you are cut back at
And the control is lost
You're lost, and you're pleading
Don't let this be what it comes down to

Finally found a place
Somewhere, something, nearly magical
Don't take it all away
Don't take them away
Because they make it real
You can only fit in when there's a space to fill

Don't take them away
Don't take her away
Because she makes you,
Shapes you into something more
More than what you were once
Its not what you want to be
But your best is her perfect version of you

And this is what it leads to; surprising you both
Because you don't do lost
Because you don't beg
You whine, you banter

Because you don't plead desperately
Or stand in front of the gun
Barrel placed right on target at your heart
You don't do giving a damn, not usually
But you do today
You don't let him take it all away
Because you love her
