Blank Pages

Hey kid, I know life's been dragging you down
You feel like you ain't got a friend in this town
Your dad up and left, you wish your mom would
You'd fake yourself a smile if you thought you could
But still there's no point to wearing a lie...

You're drowning in this sea for hopeful people
If sorrow don't kill you, then lack of sleep will
And even your height can't see over this wall
Life seems so great, and you feel so small
But I won't sit here and watch you cry...

CHORUS:
'Cause you and me, we'd seen it all before,
Back when the best of times weren't yet times of yore
Slaying some dragons and winning the day with you
All I want is for my heart to stay with you
Hope I mean enough to keep you from running away and you
Know that my soul is yours, should the need arise

Well, an artist is nothing without a Muse,
And I can't be happy when you're singing the Blues
So I did what I could to brighten your face
Held you so close, tried to ease up your pace
Dropped my pen so I could take your hand...

Even art can't say what it needs to at times,
So how will you hear what's unsaid in my rhymes?
We're two more good people cut a raw deal
I know you've been lied to, I know how you feel
Though I know that I can't understand...

CHORUS

The next flight for Logan leaves here at Nine
It lures you away with Strawberry Wine
You always did talk about leaving this town
Wonder how you'll feel when your plane touches down
About the guy missing you in LA...

I know you'll find whatever you need
I'm sure you'll bring Boston up to your speed
But kid, you know I miss your flair
So why not one more Truth or Dare?
Would you be here if I'd asked you to stay?

CHORUS

I hope you know...
I hope you know...
My soul's still yours

God, I hope that you find what you're looking for
Someday you'll see that I'm what you're looking for
Falling's the hard part, now it's our time to explore
Whatever it is these blank pages have in store
