I Hope She Gets You

I hope you're really doing fine the way you say you are
That you're chasing after happy in whatever form it comes
I hope there’s someone who loves you like you need her to
Who gives you more of her than crumbs

I hope she gets you, I hope she understands
The breathing room that makes you feel safe
I hope she gets to see your inner kiddo too
And knows just what to do when his heart starts to race

I hope she takes pride in your work 
And lifts up your projects to show her belief in you
I hope she scoots to the edge of her seat
When you’ve got a new one up a sleeve or two 

I hope she gets to know the way your breath feels on her neck 
When you wake her up in the middle of the night
I hope she likes the bruises and rugburns too
Yeah, I thought she might

I hope she pushes back when you don’t put up a fight
To be sure everything that happens to you is something that you want
I hope she befriends your darkest fears and never turns them against you
I hope can see the wisdom in your hidden hierophant

I hope she gets to see all the places we talked about
The sailboat off the coast of Mexico 
Then falling asleep in your arms on the salted sea 
I hope she gets to see everything I saw 
When you're who I knew you'd be

Because my happiness never came from having you in my hands
I never had a need to own you or control you
My joy was just in watching you be 
Even if it’s not with me
Despite what others may have told you

I hope you know I was never going to fight her for you
I told you when we met I would always let you choose
And I believe everyone deserves a fairy tale
So if you’re hers, then I hope she gets you
