near (Song Lyrics)

I look at the clouds and see patterns
of images lost in a haze
my mind is trying to make senses
manifest when I see your face

I don't know if I only imagine
the feelings that rest in my soul
but your voice nestles in my ear
and it urges me on to the goal
before it disappears
how I want you near

my life is so haunted by dramas
inspired by cruel circumstance
my breath breaks my speech just like commas
that punctuate words while they dance

I don't know if I only imagine
the feelings that rest in my soul
but your voice nestles in my ear
and it urges me on to the goal
before it disappears
how I want you near

it isn't so hard to imagine
a warm soul who wants to embrace
but I have to be cool before I sin
and tumble down in my disgrace

I don't know if I only imagine
the feelings that rest in my soul
but your voice nestles in my ear
and it urges me on to the goal
before it disappears
how I want you near

so before you decide more about me
consider that path that you take
towards a love that could only become free
with a touch that would make my soul quake

I don't know if I only imagine
the feelings that rest in my soul
but your voice nestles in my ear
and it urges me on to the goal
before it disappears
how I want you near
