It'd Be a Lie
A musician falls in love with a girl, and his dream is to travel around and play his music. The girl in this story needs to stay put for her life. Her wants her to go, she wants him to stay. So they end up parting ways. It ends up being something the guy just can't get over in the end. A more poetic take I tried on a classic love song, instead of the same cookie-cutter words and themes.

Wunschliste
Wild and clear, her love fell on me
Slow and steady, with my hands out
Caught her water dripping silent
Soaked it up to soothe my drought
Eyes like rainbows ran through colors
That my heart had never seen
Turnin' circles like changing seasons
Floating in her like a dream
(Chorus)
And when I went away she was broken
She begged for me to stay but I declined
Devotion to her list of issues
Sailing away was never one
Her roots planted, trees don't travel
While birds fly closer to the sun
The east beckoned like the daybreak
And her orbit's like the moon
My tide was pulled in toward her
Familiar patterns play a full tune
(Chorus)
I saw her tears and I was just as broken
I prayed for her to come but was denied
The sky's still blue but slightly dimmer
Winds swirl but don't whistle right
One still blows 'round like a feather
And one stays and still shines bright
Memories and scars, you always keep them
Though both are wont to fade away
Clocks turn and your hands won't stop it
It'd be the same if I had stayed
(Chorus)
I think about her now and still get choked up
She's moved on from me and no longer cries
I can't say the same at all... or else it'd be a lie
