My Compass

With nothing but you and my broken dreams

I climb

    I climb

With nothing but my memories of you

     I rise

I rise

   With your scent still on my hoodie

I try 

   I try

As long as I am still alive

    I will find you again

As long as I can move

    I’ll fight for you

With nothing but you by my side

   I’ll fly

I’ll fly

   I’ll search the dark skies 

Until I’ve found you once more

   My missing piece

A sneak peak of paradise

    It’s in your eyes

It’s all in your eyes

     My life lies in your eyes

If all I did

   Was for you

It still wouldn’t be enough

   I’d die a thousand times

Just to hear you breath next to me

   While you sleep in my bed

And I’d live a thousand and one times

   Just to keep one memory of you in my head

No matter how many times I might live and die

    I will never forget you

No matter how many miles, years, or fears keep us apart,

    I will rip out my heart,

And use it as a compass

   Until it guides me back to you.

You are the love that I chose. 

     With nothing but you and my broken dreams,

We will fly.
