Our World (More Beautiful)

So, I decided to write a song because I had not done so in what felt like centuries to an aspiring songwriter. Or not a great songwriter.
It's kind of how I feel as of now. The tone has an emptiness to it when I read the words, almost like it needs someone else to fill in the gaps. I suppose that's the point.

Anyway, here it is.

Our World (More Beautiful)

Fields full of flowers,
Spring is in the air
New life blooms all around me
I just wish you could be there
I hear honeybees buzzing,
and still flinch like a child
Planting in the garden,
I think I'll lay there for awhile
and I can't help the feeling something is missing
I'd have so much to tell you, if only you were listening

I'm trying to see the beauty in everything around me
but all I see is you
and then those memories surround me
the world may look the same
but there is a hole in my heart
because when you were in my life
the world was much more beautiful

The days get even warmer
the perfect place to be
I can see the sun tan my skin
I can see it in your hair
as the waves crash around my feet,
and I walk down the shore,
I'm wishing your hand would take mine
like so many times before

I'm trying to see the beauty in everything around me
but all I see is you
and then those memories surround me
the world may look the same
but there is a hole in my heart
because when you were in my life
the world was much more beautiful

Summer comes to an end
and the leaves begin to fall
there is a certain magic that begins
makes you feel like you have it all
bring out the coats and the scarves
even though you're always warm
the birds all fly away
sometimes I wish I could too
maybe I'd be able to escape
all the memories of you

I'm trying to see the beauty in everything around me
but all I see is you
and then those memories surround me
the world may look the same
but there is a hole in my heart
because when you were in my life
the world was much more beautiful

A layer of ice covers everything
the entire world is glistening
the bright city looks the same
yet still something is missing
I still can seee that twinkle in your eye
always there during your favorite season
other people may come and go
but still none but you astound me
I feel the cold and then I remember
I want your arms around me

I'm trying to see the beauty in everything around me
but all I see is you
and then those memories surround me
the world may look the same
but there is a hole in my heart
because when you were in my life
the world was much more beautiful

And though it may never be the same, our world was much more beautiful.
