You Fuel Me

To know you is to love you,

To see you is to hug you.

I'd feel contrite ,

Without asking for just one more night,

With your smile that I'll file away for when I just don't feel right.

I miss your ways like the waves on a pumping beach break,

I'm tired of accepting that it's just my fate.

I pray to God everyday that he brings you back,

I swear I can hear you and our laughter-filled chats.

That's when I was happiest now looking back.

But now you're not here so I shed a tear.

I wish you'd come back,

I feel like we got more.

like a weathered rum bottle you'd just wash up on my shore.

Well if you ain't comin' back , then it's time to shift gears.

I'm building me up, yeah this is my year!

The devil's been knockin' but I tell him I ain't here.

You think you've seen the best of me,

Well I hate to let you down.

Good luck finding me, search up and down.

I'm tired of being second,

I'm tired of runner-up.

I'm fuckin' exhausted from relying on luck,

Wish some days that it could just be us.

Well it's time to get to work,

Time to make shit happen.

Hope to see you at the end,

Yeah I hope you're there clappin'.

You've seen me at the bottom,

Hope you recognize me at the top.

Then you could take my hand,

And we can have a talk.

About how I've become a train that no man can stop.

Like an eight second ride that no one will top.

What you mean to me,

That will never go away.

What I meant to you,

It changed everyday.

But now I understand and truly believe,

That these simple words have set me free.

To know me is to love me,

To see me is to hug me.

You'd feel contrite,

Without asking for just one more night.

You can take my smile and file it away,

For those lonely nights and those long, long days.

Protect my smile,

Keep it close keep it near.

Your biggest fear should be that I disappear.
