hard
it's gonna be hard
it's gonna be harder than rock
it's gonna be hard
to wait and see
it's gonna be more
it's gonna be more than enough
it's gonna be more
than just the wait for me
but, i wanna wait
i wanna wait here with you
cuz it's gonna be long
it's gonna be long as a tail
it's gonna be long
and i don't wanna fail you
cuz it's gonna be yours
it's gonna be yours to tell
it's gonna be yours and mine to share
and i wanna share
i wanna share this with you
cuz it's gonna be hard
it's gonna be hard

high tide
no smoke
no hands wrapped around my neck
there's no high tide
no water above my head
she predicted
yeah, she told me i'd lose my breath
and i listened
i said i won't build castles in the sand
but, if you fall you'll find me
you'll find me me right behind
i'm right behind
it's been easy
it comes in for her every day
and like a big, white satellite
she controls the wave
and if you fall you'll find me
you'll find me me right behind
cuz she shine |
proof
what do i have to do
call you crying from the moon
find myself forsaking food
just to tell you i'm starving
what do i have do
why do you protect yourself from me
you put me on the shelf you made for me
when you know you'd fall so easily
this is all because of you
you need evidence, you need proof
safe in numbers and in rules that say i'm not the real thing
this is all because of you
so, what do i have to do
call you crying from the moon
find myself forsaking food
just to tell you...
i'm starving

halloween
it's halloween
and one of gilligan's crew is crying
her eyes out
a surprise ending
to an otherwise lovely evening
leaves me reeling in doubt
face betwen my knees
costumed in quandary
cuz now a tear-stained street
leads to where you'll sleep
without me
you're without me
so, tell me
how did you wake up
to see me walking across
the vacant bank parking lot
with an excuse to come find you
before he'd put all his mind to
keeping you away
do you remember november
and how it weighed on you?
cuz i remember september
all the way through june
so tell me...
did you get it all

firefly
every couple seconds there you are
a chemical reaction then you're gone
you flicker faint and out of sight
and hesitate to turn and show the light
all your light
all your light
all your light
i sit and wait for flashes in the dark
for signs there might be more
than just a spark
and hope to close my eyes to light
and feel you moving
slowly through the night
wouldn't it be nice
if you were just a firefly for me
and all you showed me
no one else would see
and from beneath the flame were free
and told me this was how you came to be
well, i would believe
i would believe you
i would believe
i'd keep you warm
i'd keep you how you like
i'd keep you like you'd never left the night
and from behind the glass you'd see
all that we could be
we could be wonderful
all your light
i felt all your light

i just can't share
she fogs up windows
she draws hearts wherever she goes
sideways, always, for someone
a someone i can see i will never be
cuz she comes from love
she can't get enough
sideways, always, above
above all this i see i can never be
cuz i don't think i'm selfish
i can play fair
but when it come to you
i just can't share
equal parts... they never are
and you'll spread too thin
to become one again
the focus is gone
from the picture i saw
of how it could be to let you see me
cuz you've got months to go
and you have someone who knows you
sideways, always, she's number one
and when it comes to you
i just can't share |
letters
i looked at your letters today
they're printed on paper you never gave
now i see words you never could say
i looked at your letters today
i still remember the sound that it makes
down by the james river escape
where romances start
and water does break
where he lost his life by no mistake
and i want you to know
there is a garden where we were both seen
and just like my hopes it sunk in beneath
all of the air that we both did breathe
when i had no way of knowing he'd leave
me, so soon
yeah, i'd hurt...
so much more than you could hurt me
but i still want you to know
there's still a part that hasn't changed
i still find it hard to throw these away
you know, i don't think about you
most of the time*
but i looked at your letters today
i looked at your letters today
*bob dylan, most of the time, oh mercy, 1989

birthday tune
from the first i saw
all your hair in knots
hanging on to you
tangled up i knew
i would follow suit
i've waited for late night calls
i've based it on principal
and on this day in june
sang a birthday tune
gave it all more
gave it all more truth
cuz like a rain from blue
sky with rainbows, too
i would fall for
i would fall for you
like a rain from blue
sky with rainbows, too
i did fall for
i did fall for you

permanent
one sweeping stroke
when i was sleeping leaves me stained
it's on my clothes
everyone knows what i've been through
and the more i rub, it rubs in
the more i run, it runs deeper
in of what i'm made
this fabric where forever you'll stay
with unmistakable scent
so, that's what it meant
i guess i'm not used to seeing it come true
but, the more i rub, it rubs in
the more i run, it runs deeper
to fix and fade upon me
this will follow me
this will always be
on my clothes
everyone will know
cuz this will follow me
to fix and fade upon me
this will always be

hurricane
hurricane, did you just come for me
by way of the chesapeake
i'm in a state, a state of emergency
hurricane, give me a sight to see
right on time to take the path i've seen
come on make me a maple leaf
come on take me to grass that's green
on top, you're the strongest one
but i know this will end in depression
i'm overcome... you come from oversea
but, hurricane, you're just as bad as me
hurricane, did you just come for me
by way of the chesapeake
the dark has come
so come on and shake my trees
come and be alone with me

a matter of time
it's a matter of time
it's just a matter of time
til i hold you all alone
it's just a matter of time, you know
it doesn't matter what time
if you want me all alone
cuz if you want me all alone
it doesn't matter what time, you know
i've been waiting on time
i've been waiting all my life
it's a feeling inside
it's just a feeling inside
that i want you all alone
and it just won't leave me alone
but, it's just a feeling inside, you know
and, if i follow through will i still be holding you
cuz, it's just a matter of time, you know
it's a matter of time
it's just a matter of time
til i get you all alone
you know, i want you all alone
and, it's just a matter of time, you know
cuz, it's just a feeling inside, you know
and it doesn't matter what time, you know
cuz, i've been waiting all my life
