Be

I want to go somewhere, but I dont want to talk about it
I want to be somewhere, but I dont want you to see
I want to think things but I'm not going to share them
I want to exist in my mind and maybe not in yours
I want to feel things that are mine alone
I want to hide myself right out of the obvious
I want to talk to you but I'll tell you what to listen to
I want to sing to myself and write but inside my head
I want to sway the baby and look in his eyes only two only two
I want to run in the woods and hear the cracking
leave me alone
come to bed
