(no subject)
let me have the keys and you can take a rest
from one lifeless main street until the next
who knows what there was to see before the light turned green
there's so much here to learn.
the static or the silence don't know which is worse
the dial isn't broken that's the way it works.
to the new professionals,
irregular is normal.
it'll all in how you pray
not what needs to change.
don't get comfortable
don't be sensible
swing with all you have
stop me if you can.
imagine we had canvas with our midnight cold
we'd dig our fingers in and then we'd watch the snow.
maybe i need stronger meds,
don't let those feelings in
i can't get closer now.
matter's straight across and just for me to use.
but theres always another choice, another way through
the notes of progress float along,
over your candle song.
the game is how you play,
not who wears a ring.
don't get comfortable
don't be sensible
swing with all you have
stop me if you can.
i'm on the losing side
not everytime
i'm gonna lose this love of mine.
here are the words to find
not one is mine
why are we still so afraid?
the things we do deserve their rightful names.
you close your eyes and kiss your hand
and you blow it.
but it isn't meant for me,
and i know this.
if the choice was ours alone,
then why'd we both choose letting go?
does it end like this?
time never had a chance to heal your heart.
just a number always counting down to a new start.
if you always knew the truth
then the world would spin around you
are you dizzy yet?
respectfully, so honestly i'm asking of
do you hear the conversation we talk around?
i'll back away to the safety of a quiet house
if there's half a chance in this moment,
when your eyes meet mine we'll show it.
i'll talk i'm not allowed to think
we were living dreams
and shame never crept close to our naked feet
if there's something left to lose,
don't let me wear our my shoes.
i'm still all here.
i tried,
but it rang and rang
i called all night
on a pay phone, remember those from another life?
if everything i meant to you,
you can lick and seal then fold in two
then i've been so blind.
take it all back
take the first, the last.
take it all back everything you've shown me
this must be how it feels when you're feeling..
i told you as i hear her i never felt this way
you said "i have this shot that stops my heart, baby it's okay'
you said you'd never have regrets
jesus is there someone yet that got that list?
respectfully, so honestly i'm asking of
do you hear the conversation we talk around?
i'll back away to the safety of a quiet house
if there's half a chance in this moment,
when your eyes meet mine we'll show it.
i felt for sure last night
at once we said goodbye.
no one else will know
these lonely dreams
no one else will know
that part of me.
i'm still driving away
and i'm sorry every day
i won't always love these selfish things
i won't always live...
no. stop it.
it was my time to decide.
i knew this was our time.
no one else will have me like you do,
no one else will have me, only you.
you'll sit alone forever
if you wait for the right time
but what are you hoping for
i'm here and now i'm ready
holding on tight.
don't give away the end.
the one thing that stays mine.
amazing still it seems
i'll be twenty-three.
i won't always love what i'll never have.
i won't always live in my regrets.
you'll sit alone forever
if you wait for the right time
but what are you hoping for
i'm here and now i'm ready
holding on tight
don't give away the end
the one thing that stays mine.
