Aware - Front Porch Step

Well I see you standing there and your eyes are unaware

That I’ve been staring at them all night, wishing the brain behind them cared

About the way you make me feel or how your smile makes me nervous

Or how the fact that you exist makes me feel like I have a purpose

I’m sick of lying in your bed while we’re both laying down

You say you want me for a friend.

I hope you know I hate that sound

But I will bite my tongue because I hate when you’re pissed off

But you should know I need your touch like falling rain on thirsty crops

Damn you stupid girl.

Why won’t you drop your guard?

The space between our lips is bound to break my ever aching heart

And I am sure that you will never find a man that is ever gonna love you more.

So why won’t you love me?

Well I hate your cigarettes and the men that you go see

Because one is killing you, while the other’s killing me

But I know that you’ll stay stubborn because you know I’ll stay alone

'Cause we both know, inside your grasp, is the only place I feel at home

Now I sit with my guitar.

Write you one more stupid song

I hate the way you make me feel like I’m doing something wrong

But you’ll just have to deal with all the things that I have mentioned

And I hope this song is golden like the point of my intentions.

But…

Damn you stupid girl.

Why won’t you drop your guard?

The space between our lips is bound to break my ever aching heart

And I am sure that you will never find a man that is ever gonna love you more.

So why won’t you love me?

Now the deed is done and there is nothing left to say

Prayed to the God you don’t believe in, that you’ll love me some day

So when the years go by and you forget how much I care

Put in this song and sing along so your heart will be aware

It’s like giving up on everything that you believe

To put your trust in a girl that stole your heart right off your sleeve

And I’m so sure that you will never find a man that is ever gonna love you more

But you just won’t love me
