I'll Cry For You (Final Draft)

I'll hold my relieved arms around you,
And you can rest your head against my shoulder,
So close to me encircled in a starlight cocoon,
Stranded in a universe that couldn't get much colder,
Webs of stars, defeated, hang from my skin,
They are healing scars the pavent left us in,
Chasing after butterflies that caused accidents,
Saying that they'd take us under their wings

If you ever feel wounded,
And haven't taken flight,
I'll cry for you,
Oh, I'll cry for you,
So you don't have to

Do you know what it's like to find your home again?
And do you know what its like to have a friend?
Some days you wash up upon the deserted shores,
After sailing unknown oceans made you insecure,
Spider strands blocked off the universe from you,
From up close it looked like locks on the door,
I know the sand won't fall from under your feet,
If only it had seemed like this to you before

If you ever feel wounded,
And haven't taken flight,
I'll cry for you,
Oh, I'll cry for you,
So you don't have to

Maybe you're a wave that has found no other shore,
Believe me I have crashed on one of those before,
Heart beats skip like tides to answer other prayers
And you lose grasp holding onto hearts already torn,
I am finally convinced that nothing's out of place,
Yet I'm bound to wonder what it's all about,
And if you already know what love is,
Than why take the time to find out?
