This Song (It's for You)

You showed up in a dream last night  
and you were not ok  
You never said a word,  
but tears were rolling down your face  
I didn’t ask you questions,  
just held you while you cried  
And when I woke, the rain  
was pouring down outside  
 
I know that I can’t call you,  
How random that would seem  
We’re really not that kind of friends,  
We only talk in memes.  
I’m not the one you’d turn to  
if things were going wrong,  
But you’re the one who crashed my dream,  
so I’m writing you this song.  
 
You’re such a bright light in the world,  
I hope you know that’s true  
A steady rock, a wise soul,  
and I admire you.  
But life can blow a gale sometimes  
that takes your power out  
And even rocks get swept away  
within a flood of doubt  
 
I know it’s weird to call you,  
How awkward that would seem  
That’s not what people do now,  
We only talk in memes.  
I’m not the one you’d turn to  
if things were going wrong  
But friend, my heart has open arms,  
so I’ll hold you with this song.  
 
This song won’t spill your secrets, or bind you.  
I’m trusting that this song will find you.  
If you’re wearing a brave face,  
this song will see you.  
You can turn it off, if you need to.  
 
I’ll probably never call you,  
How random that would seem  
That isn’t how things work now,  
We only talk in memes.  
You have people to turn to  
when things are going wrong  
So reach out for those open arms,  
and they’ll hold you like this song.  
You’re not alone.  
Dear friend, my heart has open arms,  
so I’ll hold you with this song.
