Too Serious

this isn't a story about love
and life
it's about two people
that just happened to find each other
at the right time
or the wrong time
either way
it was supposed to be the time of their lives
and they were digging in the ground
for all they found just
to keep it safe and sound

but sometimes the spirit we have
when we're to smart to be stupid
but too ignorant to be politically correct
breathes in like a parasite
and goes down our necks
so the next thing we know
our youthful heart has a pulse that
isn't its own
but you get so high inside
who are you to deny it right?

and a life you had is no longer your own
when you share it with someone else
a me becomes a we and an i, an us
so when you say they take it so hard
that if it breaks it shatters
you mean that we were wrong to fall in the first place

two star crossed children much like you when
you were cross eyed with the dew of your first kiss
remember this
how could you
if you cant see it in her how the hell could you see it
in you
but of this she exists
and the cycle persists
and you say shes too young to hold on
and not too strong to give it up

this isn't about love
or life
or passion
it's about two people who gave each other a piece of them
a chance to live again
and be seventeen a little longer
than your aging body has planned
they have a faith that keeps this parasite feeding
one moments and seconds breeding
call it too serious they call it strong
it feels so right how is it wrong

because
you know what completion is
and if you say this isn't it
than you never knew all along
