have i told u how much i love u still?

the skies are darkening
rain is coming
sitting by an open window
my heart is drumming
wanting to burst forth
with something

i guess i want to have a dream
just don't know what it is
and i am not who i want to be
just a child whose mother says
things will be better at eighteen

there you were
looking out the car window
i could tell you were bored
or maybe it was just scared
and i knew i had to love you
more than i ever had

skies full of kites with streamers
hold on tight dreamers
to all that your heart desires
it's the glitter in the dark
the sliver of moon we can see
through very thick branches

i guess i want to have a dream
just don't know what it is
and i am not who i want to be
just a child whose mother says
things will be better at eighteen
