I Want You To Be What You Are

I don't wanna bottle your scent 

or a stuffed animal of your touch

I don't wanna novel of your narrations 

or a statue of your trust 

I want you 

I want you 

I've had trouble putting people in boxes 

trapping them in my shaky perception 

and the wood rots under the tree house 

we fell in love in 

and I can't make our roots one

cuz you need room to grow up in 

and I don't wanna say you're funny if you think you're clever 

I don't wanna say you grew your hair out to free yourself 

I don't wanna say you're introspective cuz your taste in weather 

and I don't wanna tell you anything about your health 

I don't wanna tell you what you are or ask you to do what you don't 

I want you 

I want you 

I want you 

to be what you are 

let's orbit around something bigger than us

let's orbit around something greater than us 

let's orbit around something greater than us 

greater than us 

and if we never touch

so be it 

cuz I want you 

to be what you are
