Hush About the City - Language

I'd write a song about the bright side
I'd write a song about the blue skies and the sunny days
How it never rains
How the clouds have been estranged
Instead I'll stay inside the blankets
Re-thinking sunlight while the rain hits
Re-thinking all of what is tragic
Thinking of my weathered smile as a habit
I love the language of the poets
They wrote their victories in similes on paper
Waging war beyond their names
It was love that brought them fame
I know their softly-worded secrets
I know their metaphors and how the heart
Must travel on the cusp just to meet them
It's so bittersweet to greet them
But all it takes is a little love and a little faith
And all it means is everything to me
All I ask is that you take and you give back
And I won't dry my tears
I am not jealous for the movies
All of the perfect words all of the takes
The serenades the kindred heart stories
It's not love that makes them boring
It's all the weak impersonating
The actors role reverse to simulate
Disparate singles giftedly-boring
Won't someone tell me a real story
Cuz all it takes is a little love and a little faith
And all it means is everything to me
All I ask is that you take and you give back
And I won't dry my tears
All I ask is that you take and you give back
And all it means is everything to me
All it takes is a little love and a little faith
And I won't dry my tears
