Poetry In Motion

JJ Appleton

It used to be hard for me to feel at ease

I need my freedom

To come and go as I please

With you I opened up quicker than a shopping mall

Now I'm in your hands, and that is all



All these memories I hold onto

Fall away when you're around



[Chorus]

You're poetry in motion

Your words are like an ocean

Washing over me when you call my name

When I'm lost, you find me

I feel you right behind me

You whisper in my ear

And I hear you say:

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Everything's gonna be okay

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"



I've been known to drink a few too many beers

And lately, all these days apart

Are starting to feel like years

Sometimes I look at you and say, "Who's this?"

You're the million dollar question, baby

I can't afford to miss



All those answers that I search for

Were sleeping right inside me all along



[Chorus]



Right away

I knew you were the one

Who'd keep me in line

Who'd keep me alive

In the face of my own faults



[Chorus]
