Sunset on the water, the cold blows through my hair
I haven't moved in the hour since I thought I smelled her on the air
It's warm in my memories and I remember as everyday
Burns like embers on a pyre, she's always been my fire anyway
She says that she'll leave a light on, but she won't chase me around the country
I know this silly life is getting old
But every minute of every hour I dream and never feel I've wasted the day
She makes her points, I hope she's right - she's always been
Wiser than I
It seems I've always met the devil's queens who've told me, 'Only angels find an angel...
And an angel don't seek no fiend.' I just smile, can't blame the girl if she don't get me
Though I've finally spread my wings I still had horns when she met me
It's hard to kill the lights and put on my disguise
But we might just make it somewhere if she could learn to love without her eyes
I'm hard-pressed for the answers, that's why I put my utter faith in you
She makes her points, I hope she's right - she's always been
Wiser than I
She falls, I break - the irony is scaring me
Too much heartache
I bet a little more time might just be all we need to make it
But it's tearing me apart
'They say the nights get cold in Venice...', the travel agent tells me
And she's got a way about her smile that says it ain't the only lie she sells me
But I'm just glad to get away, if only for a while I bet a little latitude would do me fine
I stand here, head down, my eyes closed, hoping somewhere she's smiling
Anytime she wants to go around again she knows I'm down - she's always been wiser than I
you
I stepped outside, heard a voice asking me from the corner,
'Can you spare some change?
I could use some help, life just ain't so cheap.'
Then I told him, 'Your happiness can be free. You've already got it; you don't even know it. Wanting just for help-
Why'd you ever quit?
Ask me how and I'll just show you where.
Look inside yourself, I just found mine there.'
And as he walked away he whispered soft to me
Explaining everything that has any meaning
An antidote to the poison of my life - it's you
It's you who I need, it's all your small things you do without knowing how you make me smile
I can't explain it, it all became so clear - who I am, who I'll be, and why this man was here
He told his story, about a lonely man
How he packed up and left with empty hands
Now my eyes awoke and my blind heart does see
If I'm without you, that grey old man is me
maggie
Maggie don't get down just for no man
You really gotta hurt that girl to ever see her cry
If you ever saw her smile you'd never understand why
Anyone with half a heart would ever want to try
Maggie don't look down when she grieves
The only thing she understands is to keep her head up high
She don't need you to hold the back door open as she leaves
She came into this thing up front and that's just how she'll say goodbye
I could sing a song if it helps you to sleep
I wouldn't guarantee it would ever change what went wrong
All the promises I'll never get to keep...
Just hold on
Maggie left last Wednesday for Memphis
She's got a suitcase packed of all the things I gave her once
I know she's fine, I knew she'd find a way to end this
Cuz word around town is Maggie's been planning this move the past few months
if you were food
If you were food, I'd eat of you 'til my belly full
If you were drink, I'd drink of you 'til I fell off my stool
I'm sweating you - drench me down and towel me off you turn me on
This is love - sticks to my bones and feeds my soul when you're gone
If you feel like wasting time come waste some time with me
These hours are ours alone and I've got a few ideas if you'll stay here with me
If I was me on some other plane of life I'd love the alternate you
If I had six arms, ten eyes, and a tail I'd be a f*@!ing freak, but what can I do?
It's all so easy - loving you might be the best thing I've done so far
Don't be uneasy - ten more seconds of you dancing I'm about to put down this guitar...
But you know I'd take my time like there's no such thing as time at all
Carelessly we'd walk so we might slip on love and fall
Please stay with me
You hold on to all these things you'll never need
All I can do is just get down on my knees and pray there's some room left for me
virgo
She moves like rain, watches people scatter
I can't explain why I stay my course
Her thousand voices lie a million ways to me
Lost here, on her dark depths, no sail, no oars
Love like I am - I can't take my eyes off of you
Your voice in my head on this black and silent ocean
Oh, you lead me....
And I can be everything you think that I have in me
I know you're everything that's bad for me
Your love is like a hydra's head of ways to bring me down
I just can't wrap my mind around the way I let you trap me
Your love has got me pinned down underneath
I half-expected you'd enjoy yourself while feasting on me
But I never thought you'd use my bones to pick your teeth
Now my hand are tired and I can hold this wheel no longer
But it's too late to go back these seas I've crossed
So I guess I'll just plow right into your jagged shoreline
Oh, you leave me shipwrecked and lost
origami flowers
Remember all the things I've said to you and all the other thinly veilled attempts I've made to make you stay with me
All my thoughts poured out on paper, folded into origami flowers, for you and only you to see
I know you look above and underneath of things, but never see you only find another truth you can't unlearn
I wish that I could get my hands on what you're reading so I knew the books I had to find and subsequently burn
Are you thinking of me now
And how you treated me so carelessly?
At least you've got these origami flowers I took the time to fold
Every time we'd walk around it seems that you were always winding up a step or two ahead of me - and never once thought to turn around
Your body language is speaking volumes to me without you ever having need to make a sound
It seems ridiculous for me to think that I could ever one day figure out the inter-workings of that mess you call your mind
I always thought I'd get to meet the woman you became before the girl that I forgot you were up and left my ass behind
Now tell me that philosophy you've got that 'when you find yourself without the one you want try and love the one you're near'
Excuse me if that sounds a bit convenient, but since you brought it up how 'bout you tell me who's been loving you when I'm not here
mandown
Everybody 'round the way's been talking
Telling me I'm wasting time to think you even miss me at all
Because lately, there's been somebody else sitting in the spot where I belong
Oh, the price I'd pay if I could only be a fly on the wall I guess getting over me don't take too long
But why you wanna go cut my lifeline
Can't you let me hold on that ideal
Thinking you're at home with your head in your hands
Talking 'bout how you done me wrong I guess all I can do is just to let my poor heart heal
But I thought that I'd been healing for so long I quit, you win - I'm moving on
So maybe you should just enjoy your summer
See if you can let me try and do the same with mine
And not call me, or write me letters that I'm only gonna pack in a bong
And smoke myself to sleep before I get the chance to even get the thought in my mind
To put your name into one more stupid song
I quit, you win - I'm moving on
It seems to me that loving you is like chasing down the sun and getting burned
But you live, and you learn
Everybody says another love's gonna release me
And maybe I should dive right in a swim with someone else
But it's so hard to keep my head above water while you weigh me down all along
Like sinking me is somehow advantageous to your health
But you've hung around my neck for far too long
Man down
Baby girl, this ain't worth it if it only goes on and on
And maybe I'm just too damn ugly for a supermodel such as yourself
Yes, I said it - and you can sit there and argue, shut your mouth, or just go along
I quit, you win - I'm moving on
medusa
The rains all but washed out the daylight
The old bones in my closet still smile
Though I can't resurrect them, couldn't I vacation
In the past if for only a while?
But all I see is her tell me it's over
All I feel is that blade in my spine
This is just what she wanted and all that I'd feared since I first lay my heart on the line
She renders me helpless
She makes believe I can't think for myself
Though I'd die a thousand times over I love her....helplessly
So I drove to the churchyard after she left me
Things slowly began to seem real I cried out my heart and I pounded my hands
Til the keys fell out of the wheel
And Jesus looked down from his cross
More time had passed by than I knew
He said, 'Go on' and I said, 'How can I move? I feel like I'm up there with you.'
All her picture are dusty and faded
And obscured like her face in my head
I might clearly forget her if I tried but I choose
To vaguely remember instead I have never regretted my passion
Though it's cursed me to never move on And while I stand here alone, forever frozen in stone
My smile will never be gone
autumn rain
A scarlet horizon meets a tree-topped city line
And all of my green lights are changing colors tonight
I walk past a bonfire - it's an image of my pain
Then I step out the forest and dance in the autumn rain
There's rain on the rooftops, it's dancing with the stars
I'm hearing the music, but playing a brand new part
The wind through the doorway carries with it a chance to breathe
I've started this new life with every single falling leaf
A bright new morning has come now
The black and white has faded
An image of my rainbow's end
Now I know it - I'm turning my leaf over again
