Jennifer's Song

I'm no philosopher,
light and death are none of my concern
I'm just a boy with a mic and a guitar
that was given to me to play to ease your heart
you're just a girl with a voice and a heart
that needs something like this to plan a new start

I'm this broken hearted boy
who's got all these bandaids to try
and as much as I bleed, you'd think my guitar'd have stained by now
and you're this lost and hurting girl
you've got plenty laid out to try
as much as you sing, I'd think your vocal chords would bleed by now

but these songs keep coming
and the words keep slipping
and I'm stuttering over vials of verbs

she said "why do you always ask the deepest questions?"
I said I'm no phiolosopher,
but there's things I care to know

So listen to these songs
because that's the best you'll get of me
the honest truth, always the the best
always hurts the most to say
maybe they'll help you get some sleep
have a dream, for once, for once
maybe they'll help ease your pain
have a break, for once, for once

so take what you want from this
i wrote it all for you
that what you can from this
but in the end, (love), know
(love, love, love, love, love, love)
I'll sing until it's true
take what you may from this
but int he end, (love), know,
(love, love, love, love, love, love)
it's all been done for you

all these words bleed and tell the truth
so don't think it's me singing when this is stuck inside your head
I own the words, but what they said is what you said
you needed to hear
I'm just a story teller
you're the one living a life
I'm just a reporter
breaking news against the background fires
I'm just a story teller
you're the one giving life
to all these songs
singing in front of all these fires
