You Look Nothing Like My Dreams - Front Porch Step

Dripping sweat

Short of breath

Hold your hand as I confess

That you’re not the one that I was hoping for

You’re far too kind

Way too sweet

And too considerate of me

And when I thought that I knew love

You taught me more…

But how could imagine something I could never fathom?

But I knew the life I wanted

So much faith in plans I’ve made

But since you’ve come to interrupt them

I’ve forgotten everything

And I am far too uncreative

That my mind could not conceive

The kind of beauty that’s before me

You look nothing like my dreams

Now that you’re here

What’s left to do?

Except to fall in love with you…

How can someone I never wanted

Be someone I’m so scared to lose?

But how could I imagine something I could never fathom?

But I knew the life I wanted

So much faith in plans I’ve made

But since you’ve come to interrupt them

I’ve forgotten everything

And I am far too uncreative

That my mind could not conceive

The kind of beauty that’s before me

You look nothing like my dreams

Nothing like my dreams…

Nothing like my dreams…

And I have always been a man of many words

But I cannot seem to string together thoughts to sing of what your worth

It’d take a million brilliant minds to write one line that you deserve

I thought I knew the life I wanted

So much faith in plans I’ve made

But since you’ve come to interrupt them

I’ve forgotten everything

And I am far too uncreative

That my mind could not conceive

The kind of beauty that’s before me

You look nothing like my dreams

Nothing like my dreams…

Nothing like my dreams…

The kind of beauty that’s before me

You look nothing like my dreams
