I Need Someone To Tell Her

I just need someone to tell her that I love her.

I'm not sure if she wants to hear it from me now.

Michigan chills me to the core.

All these sunsets are cold copper ore.

Anymore I can't find my true north,

and I'd tell her if I knew how.

I'd search the world and never discover

a feeling that touches the essence of her.

I could fill this notebook cover to cover,

but I need someone to tell her that I love her.

I just need someone to tell her that I want her.
Every night I lay my head down on a stone.
Reach out and hold her once for me,
I guess my arms ain't what they used to be,
and I would be the one to tell her,
if she'd pick up the telephone.

Does the ghost of what might have been still taunt her?
Does the host standing in the way still daunt her?
Am I close to resembling the memories that still haunt her?
I just need someone to tell her that I want her.
