It is too late to feel like a numb skin
Say that you've harpooned me, am I a prize then
I am lost as the sea, you tell me what I see
Love was supposed to save me
Love was supposed to save me
It is too dim to read, and there's no moon
Our love always rhymes like a poem
This mirror seems wrong you decide what I am
Love was supposed to save me
Love was supposed to save me
You chose the rose with the thorn
You chose the sky with the storm
I'll take the lover that lies
My piece of divine til everything dies
Love was supposed to save me
Oh i know how it's been
You have curtains when the day ends
And i feel you like a thorn
But it feels right our loose entwined
And i wonder how it'd be
If you'd not go
If you'd ask to stay
Stay for all the days you can count
Pretend that there's nowhere else
Feel and speak and cry and hold
Pretend that you're someone else
Will you be sorry will i
Will you be sorry will i
Sour as the oranges
See i can't bite 'cause i'm too tired
And i say that's what happens
When you run hard to get nowhere
Still i wonder how it'd be
If you'd not go
If you'd ask to stay
Stay for all the days you can count
Pretend that there's nowhere else
Feel and speak and cry and hold
Pretend that you're someone else
Will you be sorry will i
Will you be sorry and...
I almost stop feeling the freezing
Whenever it's cold
And i almost can see in the dark now
Oh, do you love me?
Does it fade like a drying waterstain
Or if I beckon, will you stay?
Let me finish watching you change like a sunset
Just because I love doesn't mean
There's innately something inbetween
Turns out my eyes were closed
And so I didn't know
Turns out my eyes were closed
I'd thought that I was more
I've played the weakling
Not afraid to ride your sympathy like a train
But I never caught you completely
Just a wing that I couldn't keep
So intent feeling loving you
Thought that was all I knew how to do
Turns out my eyes were closed
And so I didn't know
Turns out my eyes were closed
Thought like ink
Love runs out
So I kept it up on a shelf
And I will polish it, finger it
But never let it breathe by itself
Whatever happens next
When nothing's left
I'd just rather not see
You've been slicing like a knife
Like Eve with her bite
But I don't think you've wounded me
We don't fall into love
It slips from the cabinets and falls into us
I stand apart from your body in the dark
But our gazes link like a bridge
And I don' t think that I'm weak
Though my lips open to speak
That I'd trade my soul for a kiss
I turn away to cry but even when I lie
There's some things words cannot hide
And my aim's never been good
But my arrow to the moon
Is so close it scrapes the sides
We don't fall into love
It slips from the cabinets and falls into us
Now love's tangled up
Like a sitting duck
I don't have to search
You're all my answers
We don't fall into love
Oh love, you're driving me crazy
And i don't know what to do
Will i throw this all away
For you
3:30 in the morning
Here in front of you
Oh love, what are we to do
Love, do you need me now
'Cause i've let you down
'Cause i've already let you go
And you don't even know
Oh love, you've come from nowhere
And brought me to my knees
And in this place is it hello or good-bye
And i'd kiss your honey lips
Oh i'd touch your sunlit hair
But these are the weapons that'd destroy me
Love, do you need me now
'Cause i've let you down
'Cause i've already let you go
And you don't even know
Love, how i need it now
Love it won't let go
I guess you never know we never know
Love, do you need me now
'Cause i've let you down
'Cause i've already let you go
And you don't even know.
Love, do you need me now
'Cause i've let you down
'Cause i've already let you go
And you don't even love me anymore
I don't love anymore.
I don't love anymore.
Just like that
The straw ignites and nothing is left
Still through smoke
I will know that you're my angel
Just like this
With a firefly net you take back your kiss
It's all yours
From the eskimo cold to the bolts on the door
You were my angel
And I feel that it's not worth it anymore
You make me feel that I'm not worth it anymore
Love is small
It is two-dimensional as a wall
And nothing's either
Under the right or the left hand
You've a face
That I've loved like a doll whose features have rubbed off
Don't we try
Kneeling down and making ourselves cry
You were my angel
And I feel that it's not worth it anymore
You make me feel that I'm not worth it anymore
Shut me eyes and feel
Your breath as you dance with me
Forever's just a word
Over in a moment
You've the only lifeboat
Say you can soothe
But you know that you don't
Bitterer because
You said it was perfect
And I thought it was
And just like everyone does
And it's all on my shoulders
You're the one who got to say
"This has all been a waste
And I'm the one who had to stay"
Bitterer because
You said it was perfect
And I thought it was
And just like every fool does
And it's all on my shoulders
You're the one who got to say
"This has all been a shame
And I'm the one who had to stay
Trying to find it a reason not to ache
Like when you say that you don't care to stay
You're still not on your way
Anything, I'm still aching, aching
And it's all on my shoulders
You're the one who got to say
"This has all been a shame
If I lean, if I lean in
So close to you
Can I breathe? Can I breathe?
I don't know so far from home
I'm tired of, I'm tired of being
Cautious oh, it aches and
The only thing cautious now's
My hand not to break you
I cannot promise
Any of the things I want to
But I could not want this
Any fragment more than I do
I don't know, I don't know how
To read what you give me
Say, "I'm tired, I'm tired of being lonely"
Spell it for me
If I lean, if I lean in
So close to you now
I want to know there's no space
Between me and you
I cannot promise
Any of the things I want to
But I could not want this
Any fragment more than I do
Oh, what to call this
Tell me how I'm supposed to touch you
I could not want this
Any fragment more than I do
And you could not want this
What if all I want is not so hard after all
I've spent too many days wanting
If it's just wildflowers that we could pick
And set on the table and look at in the morning
I see it when you do just what I said
And I don't feel then that my heart knows the difference
"Let me sleep" is all that you ask of me
But I can't remember a dream that didn't scare me
So what if it's just one sentence
That you must not have heard in a song
'Cause it's too honest and flawed
I see it when you do just what I said
And I don't feel then that my heart knows the difference
Next time will I not imagine I know
How you could save me and love me enough
Next time will I not imagine you have
I'm broken and you didn't notice
How is that I'm all pieces
Can you sum up in one sentence
All that you feel for me?
Juggle my tears with my sharp pieces
I'm broken, can you fix this broke?
I'm broken
I'm worn out, given what I had
You just sip from your own glass
I can't be without you a moment
Without fearing you won't come back
Juggle my tears with my sharp pieces
I'm broken, can you fix this broke?
I'm broken
Is your girl of glass
Something that never mends?
Or is she a puzzle that fell
That we could mend again?
I'm broken, can you fix this broke?
I've been scared, not like this
You lose things, I lost it
Just please reach from somewhere
My heart's done, it's too scared
I've never wished this before now
If I said I did I'd take it all back
You have to go all the way
To know where it is, all the way down
You know what you'd stop for
When you're running from your worst fear
But you need it, now I'm fading
This is what I'd like to lay in
I've never wished this before now
Now I know all the long steps down
This time my eyes close like this
I know my last thoughts
I know my last wish
To not be wishing
To not have broke this
To feel what I'm missing
Somehow I broke it
I only know breaking
And what I want to lie in now
I've never wished
What would you say if I said this year has been
Only a dream that only we have been in?
No one else can sense all the harm I've done
And it has always been our hands in a melded one
If there's a difference then I don't know
Between miles and a stone's throw
All that matters is what can mend us
You can be silent as you want to
No one can punish me like I do
What would you say if I said I found the truth?
We'll turn it around I'll stay here and wait for you
If there's a difference then I don't know
Turning into something I can't cope
with not having
stop, stop it
could I put my hands up
and ask that you stop
do I need to be in love
Im lost when it's just me
with only a hope to make
you happy enough to stay
return the words, the looks
I give you like they're falling out of me
seconds change
and at the end
your face is inerasable
true, I need to be in love
Im lost when it's just me
with only a hope to make
you happy enough
do I need to be in love
what is there otherwise from loving
just takes a face
to make everything else erase
stop, stop it
could I put my hands up
All of my songs for you
All of my songs are sad
Whenever you wake at night you say
That all of your dreams were bad
Give me your tightest arm
Give me an I love you
I'll stay awake all night
And blow your darker thoughts far from you
Don't say that I don't love you more
I can't understand what you'd doubt for
Just like how if I would dream your dreams
I'd know why you say, "Just hold me"
All of our kisses must come to an end some time
But it is always your lips pulling away from mine
Don't say that I don't love you more
Can't understand what you fear for
Just like how if I would dream your dreams
It's strange that it's you
That's doing this
Love's a window ledge
You're talking me down from it
Like you can, like you can
Talk it away
If I say this once
Don't talk me out of this
This one thing I have
You talk me out of everything
You're gently wearing me
Wearing me down
For you I'll play along
It's common as waking up
We'll blow it away
I'll give it up quietly
It's nothing, it's nothing
It's nothing, it's nothing
What if the sound of my voice is the sound of your lover's voice?
What if the back of my hand feels so familiar?
We don't stop, don't stop, don't
And we lean in, how'd you do that?
It's strange how light catches on things like there is nothing else
Or say it's my eyes or it's my heart, well, I can close them all
Won't look, I won't look for the signs of, I won't look
When you know it's the last dance
When you'd catch up but you can't
In this circle where I stay
You at just a reach away and
When it tries to flicker back
Try to break it, try to laugh
Oh and I'll never be sure
You say, there's nothing we could've done
Oh and this is mine, my way
The one waving at the train
Even long after I know
That it's moved too far away
And when you walk, you walk so fast
Couldn't you have just held back
Your eyes don't grab the way mine do
A last time to look at you
Oh and this is mine, my piece
So sad for clinging to
What if I forget your face
I couldn't even dream of you
Oh and this is mine, my way
The one waving at the train
Even long after I know
( Unreleased )
Love don't leave a single piece of you
When you go
Far too far and far too cold of you
If you know that i will sit here
I will finger your coat
And so if you don't know
If you can't see anything
You're only wounding me more
Maybe if it showed you'd pity me
Not your fault but it's not mine either - what is that
I haven't even tried to fight it off
It's just there
And so if you don't know
If you can't see anything
You're only wounding me more
Maybe if it showed you'd pity me
And if i know love
The first sting is soft
Compared to the end
You have me inside
The trap you don't know you set
And until you see this
I can't move
Must i hold my breath
Love's a thousand faces
But for me yours is it
So love, if you won't come over
To where i wait for you
I'm too weak
To take what i need
And if you don't feel
You cannot soothe
And if i know love the
So you'd sing a lullaby to get me to sleep
So it's no surprise my eyes are never heavy
For I've not seen you in the flesh for so long
But I'm not sure we would know each other at all, all, all
Oh the weight it must be light wherever you are
And I know you don't think twice wherever you are
Oh the weight it must be light wherever you are
And I know you don't think twice wherever you are
So I will hum alone, too far from you
All that I say now is nothing to you
We will lie under different stars
I am where I am and you're where you are
You're where you are
Oh the weight it must be light wherever you are
And I know you don' t think twice wherever you are
And I'd ask if you're all right wherever you are
I love you more than I should
So much more than is good for me
More than is good
Oh, the timing is cruel
Oh, I need and don't want to need
More than I should
I am falling, say my name
And I'll lie in the sound
What is love but whatever
My heart needs a round
Oh, my sheet is so thin
So I say I can't sleep because
It's so very cold
But I know what I need
And if you were just near to me
Would you go?
I am falling, say my name
And I'll lie in the sound
What is love but whatever
My heart needs a round
I am falling, say my name
And I'll lie in the sound
What is love but whatever
My heart needs a round

Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Oh my heart
Love is blindness
In a parked car
In a crowded street
You see your love
Made complete
Thread is ripping
The knot is slipping
Love is blindness
Love is clockworks
And cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel
Squeeze the handle
Blow out the candle
Love is blindness
Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Oh my love
Blindness
A little death
Without mourning
No call
And no warning
Baby...a dangerous idea
That almost makes sense
Love is drowning
In a deep well
All the secrets
And no one to tell
Take the money
Honey
Blindness
Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Oh my love
It's a place that's not so far
I dream there and sometimes I wake there
Do you want me caring less?
Sometimes we don't ask for what we need
And I can guess how I want to be loved
And I've guessed what of me you need
It doesn't matter if we lie
Your sentences never defined you
Do you think that I can't feel?
When I touch you, there's words on your body
Should you be scared
When I say sometimes I'd want you dead?
So no one else can have you when it ends
How'd I reach this point on my own?
This is not the first time
I've watched the end of the thing that had no end
Do you want me caring less?
Sometimes we let go of what we need
Why can't you guess how I want to be loved?
What could I say
To touch beneath your clothes
When I say, "I need you here"
You'd say, "How could I not know?"
Why am I so tired
Exhausted in my love
Water in my eyes
Why am I not enough?
I told you everything I knew
I tore my pockets out and gave them all to you
You hold my throat like a violin
I never want to kiss again
'Cause there's nobody like you
'Cause there's nobody like you
Now I'm so afraid
To push you from my mind
Like the fear of forgetting what
What light is like when you close your eyes
How can you stare?
How can you sit?
While I'm trying to tear you up
And I'm almost good at it
I told you everything I knew
I tore my pockets out and gave them all to you
You hold my throat like a violin
Never want to be held again
Because there's nobody like you
Time isn't short anymore
Moments that turn into worlds in your hands
How do you feel when you wake
Spells that are weaker the longer they take
But i wait
Waiting for you is nice
Like there is no doubt in my mind
Waiting for you is nice
Like there is no doubt in my mind
It doesn't hurt anymore
Love that is stubborn and becomes a part
Of who you are
You know i look for the wear
Signs of it fading, expecting it there
Tell me where
Waiting for you is nice
Like there is no doubt in my mind
Imagining you is nice
I can laugh at this dream
And if I drown I'll wake in the morning
This is liquid love in a plastic cup
And if it leaks we can plug it right back up
Pain is a rain that washes away
I'm a fabric you can't stain
To make light of you is all that I have
So understand me if I laugh
You were sleeping and your eyes
They were gone for a while
You were screaming
And I searched for the lines of your smile
This is peace and I know
'Cause I'm too tired to cry
I'll never get close to you
And I'm just too distracted to try
Pain is a rain that washes away
I'm a fabric you can't stain
To fall into this is not what I want
So understand me if I don't
Love is a glove that just doesn't fit
No matter how you pull at it
To make light of you is all that I have
So understand me if I laugh
It is late I won't ask you to stay or to stroke
I have never gotten warm from you huddling close
If you danced I might take you right up in my arms
But you don't so I whisper this is all
This is all
You've waited to say
There's no way that our bodies are one
Until today
With the rain under umbrellas
The cover was warm but there's a hole
And the rain comes in
Stand as far as you want
Right now I don't think
The rain will cry with us
Love let down the umbrella
Afraid, I'll see you as you are
Had I see your eyes falter
I won't say, "Stay"
I'll play the marble heart
You're beautiful
Maybe so but it's gotten dark
So it's just you walking through
The pain you made
Love, tell me more let it pour
I don't feel the rain
The rain will cry with us
Love let down the umbrella
Afraid, I'll see you as you are
Had I see your eyes falter
My silence
An ornament that you'll keep
It would've been easy if I'd break and weep
Taste your own tears when you go to sleep
Love under your umbrella
Still beautiful maybe so
Love let down the umbrella
The rain will cry with us
I know i'll never see you
I know i'll never run into your body walking through the crooked streets
I know i'll never hear you
I know i'll never hear you like a sound that wafts inside from outside there
I know that if i waited i know that if i wait a thousand days will lie wasted with thoughts of you
My love i've pictured this:
Your violet eyelids opened to say "here's where you've been"
Your lips open to say "my darling it's been so very long and i'm in pain"
I know i'll never feel you
I know i'll never get so close to you that i can't smell anything else
I know i'll never see you
I know that where you go i'll still be far from where you are
My love i've pictured this:
Your violet eyelids opened to say "here's where you've been"
Your lips open to say "my darling it's been so very long and i'm in pain" sometimes i picture all your fingers
Sometimes they're crawling down my spine
Sometimes they're buttoning your jacket
Sometimes you're far but you're still mine
I know that it is raining
And i know that the rain will soak you through
And leave you like the tattered sky
I know i go in circles
I know that window panes bring only rain and not your face
Sometimes i picture all your fingers
Sometimes they're crawling down my spine
Sometimes they're buttoning your jacket
Sometimes you're far but you're still mine
I know that it is raining and
I know that the rain will soak you through and leave you like the tattered sky
I know i go in circles
( Unreleased )
I stopped listening to fortunes
When i realized they never come true
Stopped believing what i do
Ever will unlock what i want to
Some things never happen
Haven't seen water burn
My angel won't settle for me
That is all i learned
Can i reach out for what i want
Without the burn and sting of candles
Can i empty out your heart
And fill it up with something different
Some things never happen
Haven't seen water burn
My angel won't settle for me
My feet are trembling alone
With the serpentine skins on the floor
And while I sleep, will you send me a thought?
While I lean, could you build me a rock?
Will you pretend you're my home?
Touch my lips, are they too blue?
Thirsty from never tasting you
And with the wind and the dark and the sand, these evenings are cold
And are you sleeping or can you give me a shawl?
Or pretend you're my home
Finally you tuck me in
Don't feel warm, don't know where I am
And you lean into my mouth and say, "I'm alone"
And I know your heart is a hole but your body's so close
I can pretend that I'm home
Empty as a hole but it feels so warm
This isn't home but somehow it's gold
Empty as a hole but it feels so warm
This isn't home but somehow it is gold
Oh, our dance was slow
And you fumbled with my hands
Whispered, "Time to sleep"
You have dreams awaiting your quiet mind
Does your heart get weaker
When you see how far we've to go?
Forget all the promises
You're tired and you're drifting and you're low
And if you can't steer
Then it would be safer to drop the anchor
And if you can't feel
It's selfish to use up all of the bandages
I can read your eyes
If this is real then it'll end
I shouldn't look so surprised
This happens over and over again
Does your heart get fiercer
When you think someday I might go?
Forget all the promises
You're tired and you're drifting and you're low
And if you can't steer
Then it would be safer to drop the anchor
And if you can't feel
It's selfish to use up all of the bandages
When you're alone, when you're hollow
Then you'll ask me to come and feel you
Come and feel you, don't think I will do
When you're alone, when you're hollow
Then you'll ask me to come and feel you
You gave me
Cold glass love
You've got teeth for biting
And you've bore a hole in me
You and me
Hot and cold
You have crossed all safely
While I teeter on my rope
Better than me
And I know
You are calm and symmetry
And I'm an empty hole
My envy
Of all you own
I want to be a possession
You dust and won't let go
Gentlest touch
And sweetest sound
Something you'll run back in
For when the house burns down
Alone, alone
Doesn't feel so cold
Alone, alone
Doesn't feel so cold
'Cause your arms
Your arms they don't feel so warm
So come, come love
And take me home
What I am
And what you are
Some things just don't hold the way
The night has trapped a star
Alone, alone
Doesn't feel so cold
Alone, alone
Doesn't feel so cold
'Cause your arms
Your arms they don't feel so warm
So come, come love
I love you more than I should
So much more than is good for me
More than is good
Oh the timing is cruel
Oh I need and don't want to need
More than I should
I am falling, say my name
And I'll lie in the sound
What is love, but whatever
My heart needs around
Oh my sheet is so thin
So I say I can't sleep because
It's so very cold
Oh but I know what I need
And if you were just near to me
Would you go...
I am falling, say my name
And I'll lie in the sound
What is love, but whatever
My heart needs around
I am falling, say my name
And I'll lie in the sound
What is love, but whatever
My heart needs around
You should drain of color like an insect on a leaf
You should taste of nothing
How much water would you be
Shows how right you are when I'm crying and you're not
I'm not one of those to say that hurting is better than not knowing
Fill the nights with water or something promising to fill
Never mind the waiting
Beautiful something
Bewitch will
Shows how strong you are when I'm trying and you're not
On you doesn't show
I would fall for that face again after all
Stop telling my heart
I forget, tell me again
what do you want
you'll be close, not close enough
not close enough for my kind of heart
you say words you can't take back
used to be love
now it's words hard to look at
hard to look at with the lights on
in your head it must not sound so bad
or why would you say it
when you know I feel it
whistles through my bones
alone in a love
the one that we started
the one that you ended with some words
why'd i start before you said
"I checked it out, it's safe and sound"
like i showed you right away
all the things that eyes can say
where you are it must not look so bad
or why would you do it
when you know i feel it
and my eyes are not afraid to cry their way
through all you say
i know that what we started
Alive when are you truly there
Do you think about the world
How far this time to be yourself must you go down the stream
Floating on the top is better and you'll know just what you are
What you are talking about is pure
What you're talking about is pure
What you're talking about is pure
And what you're talking about must be the dream beyond the words
It gives way and steers itself
How far this time to be the one
That you knew was always here
Won't you take the time to get it so you'll know just what you are
What you're talking about is pure
What you're talking about is pure
What you're talking about is pure
What you're talking about will hang the sun every day to melt you down
After you go
After you go I won't expect to hear your voice again
Do not leave footprints to carve out your weight in the snow
More and more past
Nothing will last
If you forget watch the sun set so far
You held my hand but I don't think you will remember that
With all your veils raised up
Who's to expect the same love
With all your veils raised up
It's strange that it's you
That's doing this
Love's a window ledge
You're talking me down from it
Like you can, like you can
Talk it away
If I say this once
Don't talk me out of this
This one thing I have
You talk me out of everything
You're gently wearing me
Wearing me down
For you I'll play along
It's common as waking up
We'll blow it away
I'll give it up quietly
It's nothing, it's nothing
It's nothing, it's nothing
Take me out tonight Where there's music and there's people Who are young and alive Driving in your car I never never want to go home Because I haven't got one anymore
Take me out tonight Because I want to see people And I want to see life Driving in your car Oh please don't drop me home Because it's not my home, it's their home And I'm welcome no more
And if a double-decker bus Crashes into us To die by your side Is such a heavenly way to die And if a ten ton truck Kills the both of us To die by your side Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine
Take me out tonight Take me anywhere, I don't care I don't care, I don't care And in the darkened underpass I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last But then a strange fear gripped me And I just couldn't ask
Take me out tonight Oh take me anywhere, I don't care I don't care, I don't care Driving in your car I never never want to go home Because I haven't got one No, I haven't got one
And if a double-decker bus Crashes in to us To die by your side Is such a heavenly way to die And if a ten ton truck Kills the both of us To die by your side Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine
Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what's on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide. So we've been told and some choose to believe it. I know they're wrong wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection. The lovers, the dreamers and me. Who said that wishes would be heard and answered when wished on the morningstar?
Someone thought of that and someone believed it. Look what it's done so far. What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing and what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection. The lovers, the dreamers and me. All of us under its spell. We know that it's probably magic. Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices? I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors. The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it. It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Would you think the night is locked?
And if we re all blind
Wooden arms and sleep, I ve tried
But they ve killed me and the morning name
Breathe
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh,
Whoa, oh, oh
Without you, nothing stands on air
And I swear I won t lie
I ll try, to hold this so tight
And all of this come and get it
To end
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh,
Just like that
The straw ignites and nothing is left
Still through smoke
I will know that you're my angel
Just like this
With a firefly net you take back your kiss
It's all yours
From the eskimo cold to the bolts on the door
You were my angel
And I feel that it's not worth it anymore
You make me feel that I'm not worth it anymore
Love is small
It is two-dimensional as a wall
And nothing's either
Under the right or the left hand
You've a face
That I've loved like a doll whose features have rubbed off
Don't we try
Kneeling down and making ourselves cry
You were my angel
And I feel that it's not worth it anymore
You make me feel that I'm not worth it anymore
Shut me eyes and feel
Your breath as you dance with me
Forever's just a word
My feet are trembling alone
With the serpentine skins on the floor
And while i sleep will you send me a thought
While i lean could you build me a rock
Or pretend you're my home
Touch my lips or are they too blue
Thirsty from never tasting you
And with the wind and the dark and the sand these evenings are cold
And are you sleeping or can you give me a shawl
Or pretend you're my home
Finally you tuck me in
Don't feel warm don't know where i am
And you lean into my mouth and say "i'm alone"
And i know your heart is a hole but your body's so close
I can pretend that i'm home
Empty as a hole but it feels so warm
This isn't home but somehow it's gold
Empty as a hole but it feels so warm
did i just think it, no
did i just write it down
when did i lean in close enough
i'd be invisible
it'd be comfortable
if i'd still see and hear you.
i could go back to my old way
i could go back to the doorway
i see when the lights
and the air would touch
what for me
i think
would be too much.
did i just think it or
did i try saying more
did i put messages in my eyes
like bottles.
crawling back to my old way
i could go back to the doorway
the light hurts my eyes
and i get spent so
one day you'll say
if you want me you can find me
left of center
off of the strip in the outskirts
and in the fringes
left of center out of the grip
( repeat verse)
and when they ask me
what are you looking at
i just answer nothing much
i think they know that i'm looking at them
i think they think i must be out of touch
but i'm only in the outskirts
and in the fringes
left of center
off of the avenue
and if you want me
you can find me
left of center
wondering about you
and when they ask me..
i think that somewhere deep inside of us
we must be similar if not the same
so i'll continue to be wanting you
left of center amid the gray
and if you want me you can find me left of center
You're like a lover
In that when you look you make lists
I could do with more of that
More of that
Less of this
Shine your light
I don't mind
Shine your light
I don't mind
You know what words of love
Get squeezed out
By a hand tightening 'round your neck
Tell me love
Tell me it
Hold me tight
I don't mind
Hold me tight
First you look so strong
Then you fade away
The sun will blind my eyes
I love you anyway
First you fight your smile
I loved you for a while
You are a vapour trail
In a deep blue sky
Tremble with a sigh
Glitter in your eye
You seem to come and go
I never seem to know
And all my time
Is yours as much as mine
We never have enough
It's not supposed to feel right and broken at the same time
A thousand lights that dance out of my heart to you each time
What do you have to ask me
Maybe then you don't feel the thousand pins and needles
That I feel near you each time
It's just my mouth
It's just a word and what is that
How does it hurt
How does it hurt
I'm not supposed to need what I've never had to know it
A thousand thoughts that crawl out of the dark to lie with me
I'm not supposed to say it the way my head replays it
A thousand words and none of them that I can say out loud
But out loud is how it feels
Is what you hide
Just as real
either way
you'll have to say "i'm sorry"
by the end
if the you i have is different
and bare is the state you bring.
bare is the slate you bring
spare you new love nothing.
love is the knife
we pulled out of our backs
i know the sound that it makes.
only now that i'm alone
i see the night as what it is. wasted.
i can only close my eyes
with one thing behind the lids
so it is.
maybe you'll wake me
waking to ringing
maybe i'll wake to you.
confessing that this isn't
quite what i had in mind
but i lied. i'll wait.
feel my love is all too much
real as things you touch
and know in all the ways.
maybe you'll wake me
waking to ringing
maybe i'll wake to you.
mmaaybe you'll wake me
waking to your warm
Tonight
We don't have a lot to go on
But that's not how it lives in my head
No, not at all
Blind times
Thought we were matching weight
We pulled
Sometimes it was you and sometimes it was me
But where are we
You say "don't take it all so hard for now
There's so much space
Once in a while I'd like to catch
Not break what I hold
And once when you're close I'd like to speak my beautiful thoughts
And then I can know that I will
Once in a while I'd like to catch
Not break what I hold
And once when you're close I'd like to speak my beautiful thoughts
And then I can know I can know
When I took my kiss somewhere else
I broke it
Now the natural order of things
Old days don t come to find me
This sun is just about to climb
Up over there
While my heart is sinking
I do not want my voice to go out
Into the air
Did you leave the darkness without me?
You re always miles ahead
And we re standing in tomorrow
On the runway
All be the music in my head
The air around my bed
All be my rest
Retrace the smile disgraces
Of the time embraces
That I never really loved
Did you leave the darkness without me?
You re always miles ahead
On the runway
Oh I want to fly, fly far around the blue light
To be alive, come alive
Don t need right, find in try... red light
Turn around, seem always to go my way
Old days don t come to find me
This sun is just about to climb
Up over there
While my heart is sinking
I do not want my voice to go out
Into the air
Did you leave the darkness without me?
You re always miles ahead
And we re standing in tomorrow
On the runway
