Worth It

I'm dragging out our time

We don't know how much we've got left

So I'm going to take my precious time.

Grasping the tips of your fingers,

My lips are sealed with yours

And I'm tempted to lock it with glue.

We're the kids everyone wishes they were

The ones who knew what they wanted

We have something only high school kids dream of.

When the alarm on my phone rang

Meaning it was time to go

I pressed snooze and snooze 

Until it wasn't an option anymore.

Did it really take this long for me to love you?

and now that we have to say goodbye,

I'm regretting every loveless second before.

I whisper, "I love you" in your ear.

And when you say it back,

I'll know this was all worth it.

We fought.

WE FOUGHT
but not like other people fought
A LOT
over wanting the other person to be happiest
WE WERE
an advocate for the other
LOVERS
who truly loved

RAP

But I'm far from perfect
and yeah I think you heard it
We rappin to the beats
because I don't race in heats.
I climb stairs not mountains
And I have a thing for fountains
If you ain't going to BYU
they say screw you
If you ain't going to the U
they say screw you
If you ain't going to USU
who the freak are you
And about UVU
I don't know who
Cause the pleasin' is done
So thanks my hunny bun

Accepted

I spent the weekend watching failed proposals and being grateful I will never be the boy in that situation since feeling accepted was never a strength.

As if no amount of love given to me would be able to fill the draining arteries and severed veins in my warm scarlet face.

The acceptance letters are rolling on in and no matter how many I get, it feels like it's not enough.

How could I want more more and more confirmations?

I got in my dream school and I am still like this.

Will the drugs kick in or the blood clot or college acceptance letters convince me that I'm accepted?

Test after test I'm writing out my character thinking is this really me.  Is this really me?

The day when my children ask about my teenage years will I have forgot about this?

Don't say it stays in my head. Don't stay it stays in my warm scarlet face.

Peace in Mind

Running in circles we find ourselves looking for happiness
when if we just stopped running we would be able to rest
I fought my feet and stopped for a little
Hoping that time would move real slow.

I opened my eyes and closed my ears
Because in High school,
there is no benefit to listening to the gossip
of teenage girls and jock boys.

I felt so much more
I loved so much more
and I saw God.

In the halls of Lone Peak,
you don't have to go real far to find gloomy weather
and with that being said,
you don't have to roam too far to find bright skies

It's all in the people, the people, the people.

And it's too bad that those people are lonely teenagers, lost travelers, and depressed souls
And it's too good that those people are re-tryers, tender carers, with a whole lot of fighters.

Sure we get high, sure we get low
But not even the wolf's blow will knock down our strongest.
And that's nice
because our futures are some of the brightest

People are nice and people are mean
But just remember we have all been lost if we aren't right now.
