worth it.

i've tread through the sunsets
only to find that rain was more appealing
i've dampened my spirits
just to see that you were the only thing worth reviving

and i could be so proud
to realize it was all so much more
...worth it.

i've lived through the rivers
just to fall into oceans of you
drowned in deep serenade
wishing i could be your melodies
and it'd be all so much more
...worth it

if you could take me sliding down those rivers
of high notes you string from rainbow to rainbow
connecting the stars
to paint pictures of sunsets
silhouettes of ending days
spelling out goodbye
in the dried out evening

i've used all of your rainbows
swallowed all your rivers
and sunk all your sunsets
selfishly in hopes of makin it all so much more
...worth it

finally i can tell you stories
wafting along the lakeside
shores ready to float on away
departure ferries
awaiting our arrival
finally i can make you smile
like the sunset you painted at dawn
even while you tried to duck away from dusk
and picture me perfect radiantly next to

you.
