Something More

Last night with you
I remembered how it used to be
How good it felt to fall
How good it feels

I love the way we communicate
Best believe it's something else
On a whole other level
Never quite experienced before

You tend to understand me
And you'll listen even when you can't
Because you and I have the same goal
Resolution

You want solutions as much as I do
So we work as a team to find them
There is no tearing each other down
And that's really how we move up

Sometimes you don't realize how much you hurt me
Consequence of your ingrained actions
Unaware of outside detriment
Something you're not afraid to accept

You know how to take a good look at yourself
And stop to see how things look from the other side
Even when you know the results are unintentional
You don't feel threatened by negative emotion expressed

And you're brave enough to make changes where you feel you should
I share that same willingness to adapt where required
Consideration for the other person's feelings is a priority
Awareness of behaviour is the first step to rectification

This is why I love our discussions
They're constructive and productive
Not even close to destructive
It's what makes them easy to trust in

I've always known conflict is a test of endurance
But in this connection I tend not to fear it
Because I know that you'll work with me not against me
And you know that I will always do the same

Maybe this is another case of foolish emotion
Getting the best of me and clouding my judgment
But when it rains, I do believe we can make it through
All because of how I connect with you

Most people waste time fighting each other
And never spend time fighting for understanding
But what we do doesn't even feel like battles
It's just two people trying to figure things out

You'll never get anywhere with quick fixes
So we put in hours trying to build things that last
Ongoing construction it seems
But the rewards are worth it

Whatever the future holds I know I'm grateful for this
Learning how conflict can guide two people to strength
How good it feels to hold mutual effort as the key
It unlocks the door for growth that's needed to succeed

As long as we keep on this path of communication
I have hope we'll excel at overcoming obstacles in our way
Because you and I have something more than just heart melting moments
And I can't help but be in awe of the way that we progress
