# hope you think about me

_When I think about you_ \
_When I think about me_ \
_I think about every little problem that I wish I couldn't see_ \
_When I'm lying awake_ \
_When I'm trying to sleep_ \
_I wanna just make the most of all my little dreams and memories_ \
_Hope you think about me_

_Yeah, I'm kind of a freak_ \
_A mess of scales and sharp teeth_ \
_But I make myself out to be the softest of the dragons on your screen_ \
_I'm a little bit hurt_ \
_Just a little obscene_ \
_Tie myself a new tourniquet to heal the places that I still might bleed_

_Yeah, I'm not perfect_ \
_Yeah, I'm still not "me"_ \
_But it's still worth it_ \
_To walk down this street_ \
_Hope you think about me_ \
_Hope you think about me_ 

_She's a little uncouth_ \
_She's a bit of a geek_ \
_Don't you think it's just terribly attractive how she mumbles in her sleep_ \
_Stumbling over her words_ \
_Still, she's smiling at me_ \
_Can't she just take the words out of your mouth and write them down effortlessly_ 

_I'm still improving_ \
_I'm still not done_ \
_Glad that I'm not_ \
_The only one_ \
_Hope you think about me_ \
_Hope you think about me_

_I'm marching toward this new horizon_ \
_With my hopes and dreams intact_ \
_There's still so much I've yet to live for_ \
_The past is left behind my back_ \
_I'm still figuring this out, one step, one breath, one at a time_ \
_I wanna learn how I can fly to let my wings lift me up high_ \
_I'm so scared to take my jump now, this is it, no turning back_ \
_I feel the tailwind brush against me, but I'm still not ready yet_ 

_Hope you think about me_ \
_Hope you think about me_ **(Another night goes by, one breath at a time)** \
_Hope you think about me_ **(I'm still not ready, but at least you know I'm trying)** \
_Hope you think about me_ **(I do my best, and all the rest that I can say is...)** \
_Hope you think about me_
