I Want You To Be What You Are

I don't wanna bottle your scent 

or a stuffed animal of your touch

I don't wanna novel of your narrations 

or a statue of your trust 

​

I want you 

I want you 

​

I've had trouble putting people in boxes 

trapping them in my shaky perception 

and the wood rots under the tree house 

we fell in love in 

and I can't make our roots one

cuz you need room to grow up in 

​

and I don't wanna say you're funny if you think you're clever 

I don't wanna say you grew your hair out to free yourself 

I don't wanna say you're introspective cuz your taste in weather 

and I don't wanna tell you anything about your health 

I don't wanna tell you what you are or ask you to do what you don't 

​

I want you 

I want you 

I want you 

to be what you are 

​

let's orbit around something bigger than us

let's orbit around something greater than us 

let's orbit around something greater than us 

greater than us 

​

and if we never touch

so be it 

​

cuz I want you 

to be what you are
