All Dolled Up

A nice long drive clears the mind.

~ Let's go somewhere together. ~

I'm all dolled up in the passenger side.

You're speeding down the highway late at night.

The moon light bounces off your face.

One-twenty an hour, but I've never felt so safe.

I'm all dolled up, but we have no where to go.

You're passing all the exits that lead home.

Your eyes are glistening and mouth is stuck in a smile.

We've been here now for a little while.

I'm all dolled up just for you again.

We both forget about the roads ahead.

Your hand fits so perfectly holding mine.

All the sudden, everything feels right this time.

I'm all dolled up feeling like a star.

Do you know how much you really have of my heart?

One hand on the wheel, you bring my hand up to your lips.

You gently place a sweet sweet kiss.

I'm all dolled up, feeling this high.

I'm hoping this will be a long ride.

I like being in the passenger side,

While we drive down the highway late at night.

Castle

Sometimes all we need is a place to feel at ease.

~ Let it live forever in our memories. ~

Five in the morning.

I couldn't sleep last night,

But then I turn around to see your eyes.

I've been learning

How to leave my past behind,

But now only thoughts of you are in my mind.

Pure white sheets.

My ghosts are still haunting.

You place your arm safely around me.

I've been healing

From the ailments in my past.

You embrace me, making it all worth it at last.

Sun in the window.

I thought darkness was a way to live.

Finally, you're the ray of hope shining in.

I've been dreaming

For those fairytales to come true.

Finally, the person I've been dreaming of is you.

Our own castle.

This was worth the wait.

I finally found the place where I feel safe.

I've been searching

For a way out of my dissatisfaction.

Now I've found someone I never imagined.

Our own sanctuary.

Nothing can touch us

In here because it's built on love.

Now I'm happy.

I know that as I wake by your side.

You can't take your morning eyes off of mine.

In our own castle,

The rest of the world fades away.

There's nothing else we need but one more day.

Hush.

Sometimes we have to be our own guardian angels. 

~ Sing me a lullaby. ~

Hush.

I promise I will always protect you.

I will do everything it takes.

I'm the one you can turn to.

I promise to scare all the monsters away.

Hush.

Did you have a nightmare?

Come, come and lay next to me.

I promise to always be there.

I promise the perfect role model I'll be.

Hush.

I can see you're crying now.

I'll wipe away the tear for you.

I swear I will never allow 

An unhappy day for you.

Hush.

Don't worry about my monsters.

I promised I'd keep you safe.

I promised you would never get hurt.

I'm here to keep all your monsters away.

Hush.

My monsters have taken over my mind,

But I still try to dry your tears.

You see me crying late at night.

I close the door and try to face my fears.

Hush.

This isn't a topic to be discussed. 

You're supposed to look up to me.

But I can't protect you because

Now I'm deep in my disease.

Hush.

I try to keep you out of the situation,

But you feel so much more alone.

I fall deeper into my frustration.

You take on something I'll never know.

Hush.

You watch me as I struggle in my war.

You take on a burden I'll never see.

Our roles switch like never before.

Now, you're the one protecting me.

Hush.

You take on so much.

You live it in your mind.

You were so young.

You step back this time.

Hush.

Then I think I've finally won, 

But I'll never really talk about it with you. 

You're still feeling numb. 

I think it'll protect you from my monsters too. 

Hush.

If I don't talk about it, it wasn't real. 

You bottle it up in your own way. 

If I don't talk about it, this isn't how you feel. 

You're just a kettle waiting to blow one day. 

Hush.

I'm sorry I left you in the dark. 

I'm sorry I engulfed you in my pain. 

I wanted to leave a protective mark.

Instead, I put so much strain.

Hush.

Please, don't say a word. 

Let me sing you to sleep,

Like the lullaby with the mockingbird.

You really saved me.

Hush.

Please, don't say a word.

Until you're safe in your dreams, it won't end,

Like the lullaby with the mockingbird.

I promise I will be the one to protect you again.

Hush.
