Balcony from WHY? by Will Larsen

I can’t explain why, but I’m singing to you
I’m climbing your balcony, poised in the ivy outside of your room
I am young, I am strong, I can write you a poem, I can carry a tune
do you love me too?
do you love me too?

hey, look my way, I’m telling you true
I’m done sailing the sea, don’t care to be free to find other fish
shall I count the ways, number the stars that have crossed the sky as I’ve wished
you would love me too –
do you love me too?

if love gave me wings I would rush to your side and not stumble
if love gave me reason I’d walk far away from your high garden walls
if love is a vine I’m the brick that it climbs, that it crumbles
if love is a river I’m drifting so close to the falls

please, don’t you see, I’m worthy of you
I’m climbing your balcony, shaming the starlight, I’ll give you the moon
I am here, I am bright, I can stay through the years, I can lie in your arms or your tomb
do you love me too?
do you love me too?
the way I love you?
