My Muse

I can’t put my guitar down

It’s you reading my mind somehow

I can’t get out of bed at all

Safe in my room

I won’t run into you alone

‘Less you show up at my door

That I left open for you

And you climb my stairs

While my dreams come true

See me there

And I’m singing the blues

Tell me you can tell

I’m using you, using you

Using you as a muse

Stranger crossing like a star

In my bedroom from afar

My dreams hinge on never coming true

And that’s okay because that’s something

You would never do

And besides that would be just like

What I’ve already been through

Too much a risk for us to choose

So for now

I’m using you, using you as a muse

So for now, I’m using you, using you

As a muse

And you're this close to ruining all my songs

They can’t take much more

Cliche waxing sentimental

Gut wrenching elemental

Writing ‘bout wanting you at all

Give me something tangible

Show up at my door

Tell me you can tell

I’m using you, using you

Using you as a muse

I’m using you, using you

Using you as a muse

I'm alone most nights

Only three miles from you

Watch out for deer

If you come to me
