by daveapplegate hello, nurse! you've given me reason to smile 'cause your notes have traveled past borders and miles like a cartoon, my heart swoons and beats right out of my chest when my eyes discover a picture of you hello, nurse! you help to welcome the newborn with your hands, you tend to the sickly and broken i want to feel your touch much more than i should let on we're too far, far, far apart to start well, i know we probably won't meet face to face my heart has gone solo so far, it's okay it's easy to sing love songs to a stranger just fill in some positive traits to make you please, tell me if i'm giving up too easily i just might be able to put up a fight hello, nurse, i hope that i too make you smile that these notes get past friendly borders and miles i want to keep embellishing, embarrassing myself... hello, nurse... hello, nurse... aintry by daveapplegate everyone knows that the city never sleeps and it’s always full of life i've been passing through these small dead towns like aintry all night but millions upon millions each feel like a salt molecule lost in the ocean i'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that you would mind this one i never unpack these boxes of old books and home necessities i just want a place to sit, a place to rest, a place to call my own and i would stay i still don’t understand how you could see anything in me but endless failure i have seen plenty of broken beaters you’ve made new, you're the endless cure i want to cover this town in water to bury this place under a lake would be the best thing that ever happened to it i've lost all my drive to even go outside and see my closest friend if she could see inside she'd see that all there is is gutted factories and dead tree limbs or maybe i'm mistaken about myself, well, feelings lie and i’m rich as the Lion's son even when i have accomplished nothing, even when my hands are empty when the day is done i want to cover this town in water to bury this place under a lake would be the best thing it doesn't matter if i'm alone, don't have a home or have a reason to be ashamed there is a healing that goes deeper than my bones and it changes my name and if a kingdom rests inside my soul then wherever i go, that’s where i call home i'm not aintry, David means beloved, and this goes wherever i go your love is enough by daveapplegate can't add to what is perfectly beautiful so why even try i could say what you already know but what is the use, it’s not unique, you don’t need me but you love my love you are the one who saves me every day i love your love can't think of worthy ways to show you my love i don't do love enough your love is enough my soul - too weak with apathy my tongue - too dumb to say my heart - too passionless to love you my mind - too senseless to love i'll just stick with what I know your love has covered me you are the one who saves me every day i love your love can't think of worthy ways to show you my love i don't feel it enough your love is enough i don't have the strength to live so i'll take it as a gift i can't show you i am thankful more than words and more than me but i'll sure try to try because you are the one who saves me every day... you are the one who saves me every day i love your love can't think of worthy ways to show you my love that's okay 'cause your love's enough she died of natural causes by daveapplegate i could be wrong about the image that i have used, there is a limit taking a heart that is beating saying i stopped it is misleading she died of natural causes to keep her alive much longer would only have caused more harm woman with child can't feel joy first she must labor to give birth toddler will cry like the wounded can't understand why i couldn't she died of natural causes to keep her alive much longer would only have caused more harm life is not made up of rosehips amidst the tumult i kiss your lips sometimes i’ll lose, sometimes i will gain you hold me tight throughout all of it lasting sunset by daveapplegate the setting of the sun is much like my experience with love it doesn't last for long but i hope to see that sunset that lasts until my last breath is sighed 'cause then i will be truly alive like kissing your girl for the first time pictures of make believe love tire me out they're too tough to live up to they're less complex fiction's not real life’s reflection but i still hope to see that sunset that lasts until my last breath is sighed 'cause then i will be truly alive like kissing your girl for the first time hope i'm breathing for a long time
