Rock Wanted

It's been a long day; Things got in the way. There's too much, But not enough. The faces I smile at, They smile back. It's all nice, Just don't look twice. They won't be there; Like you, they're scared. And I need something I can't find. I'm running around So blind. I'm crazy and everyone knows. I need a rock, Just one thing that I know Cannot go away from me. Stand sturdy up in water I've been drowning in; Let me hold on. All I want are the widest open spaces, And to be locked away With you; Give me something to cling to. With everything changing, Please give me something That stays the same, To keep me sane. I need a rock, A strong piece of truth That can't be moved, Someone I'll forever Give my heart to. You know that, It's so fast, Billions of seconds Have flown right past. And I am lost, in my city. Someone who can hold me down Won't stop the world from going 'round. My strong rock, Don't let me drown.
