a voice from the musicbox

i sent you a box this morning
full of things i wanted for me
but i sent them to you because i knew
you needed them more than me

i called you up this afternoon
just to chat like we always do
i can hear you laughing with your eyes
it sounds like you're older too

i felt your strength two days ago
breaking through the line
when i told you my dreams had crashed
a moment too slow for time

i sent you a smile this morning
full of things you'd given me
but i sent them all back because i lack
the will to set it free

it's not fair without you today
as i shield my ears from the tune
i miss the you you saw in me
that saved me each afternoon

the day was long for me today
the freeze must be killing you
but i feel it too out on the asphalt
i sent you a piece of that too

i thought about you tonight
and what i wanna be
but somehow being you
seems a whole lot harder for me

i heard about your success last week
how the you've conquered the standard scene
from a distance of too many state lines away
roars a lion named christine

Nice write, enjoyed a lot.

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.
