Bandit of my Heart

Bandit of my Heart
-Josiah Vermont

You don’t wanna talk about it
I’m not gonna ask you ever again
I like how you stay on it
I love the way you take me by the hand
I think I love you most now
You’ve been the right fit from the start
You’ve stolen my affection
You’re the bandit of my heart

You’ve had a long day working
The things we do for three meals and a bed
It won’t buy a Birkin
but you proudly hold your head
The future might seem murky
Luck will change after awhile
You’re the bandit of my heart
with your Mona Lisa smile

I’m out here in the desert
On the news they say it’s just begun
We always stay ready
but still breathe hoping peace will come
I’ll come home to you safely
and then we’ll never have to part
Don’t need the medal of honour
Just want the bandit of my heart

The long distance has been killing us
Can’t drive separate with one car
We don’t know if tomorrow exists
Never knew it would be this hard
I think you love me most now
It’s a miracle we came this far
I’m your bass drum beating
You’re the bandit of my heart

    I love the narrative aspect to all your work. So many stories, so many scenes, so many emotions. Always a pleasure to read a page from your mind or heart.
