Wish I could be the one

Are you cold and silent
Are you headed for a drive
Are you tired of the violence
Are you lonely and about to cry

Are you knee deep in love
Are you a dreamer in a dream
Are you like the stars up above
Are you like the pages the run in between

Wish I could be the one to catch you when you fall
If I got a hold of you I could never give it all
Wish I could be the one to open up you heart
I'm not the chosen one so we'll remain apart
We'll be like this from the start

Are you holding out or capturing the rain
Are you lifting your soul beyond the vacant plains
Are you the passing sun beaming kisses in the dark
Are you a dreamer too and are you dreaming who you are

Wish I could be the one to catch you when you fall
If I could tell you once I would have to tell it all
Wish I could be the one to take the darkness far away
It's not that I understand, but I guess the emptiness must remain

Wish I could be the one to catch you when you fall
Wish I could be the one to gravitate your wall
Wish I could be the one to open up your heart
Wish I could be the one to show you who you are

Wish I could be the one to catch you when you fall
Wish I could be the one to catch you when you fall
Are you a dreamer waiting for a sign

Are you knee deep in love
Are you a dreamer in a dream
Are you like the stars up above
Are you like the pages the run in between

    was just flicking about tribe looking for new inspirations and found your beautiful lyrics. they're lovely, very heartfelt.
    i'm a songwriter too, just putting my own album out, if you fancy having a listen, go to www.allaroundyoumusic.com
    do your lyrics actually go with a melody or song, or are they just lyrics? do you write with anyone? are you a muso?
    sorry if you have already said all this somewhere, only have a few minutes to be online and cant do any more looking for now!
    anyway, really lush lyrics, they deserve a beautiful melody.
    ps have just discovered the most amazing band called public symphony
    they're on a magasine called www.beforetheflood.co.uk as a main feature and they're like pink floyd only modern!

      Rosie,
      I am a songwriter too. Most of what I do now is just for fun, but there was a time I had quite a bit of material published and recorded. These days I feel free to write what I feel rather then what others wanted to hear!!!.

      I will also check out your site as well as that Pink Floyd sounding band. There is another one to check out called www.yearlongdisaster.com

      This new band will be making it big time.

        Hey Bruce. Great Lyrics. Sounds like we have like minds in the same place. Check out Rain of Flames. My name is Katherine and I am a freelance musician and songwriter. I really like your lyrics. I relate to them so much. On a very large scale. Thank you for this synchronicity and serendipitous song. The part about catching when they fall thats in my song. The rain is in my song. The dream is in my song. The dreaming about this person is also in my song. Wishing I could be the one is also inside my song. Thanks for letting me know I am not the only one with this terrible longing and that I share it with a songwriter whos in the same boat.......Katherine (Faunaserene)
