Terms of endearment. Seriously.
"Diane's sittin' on Jacky's lap, he's got his hands between her knees"
sarah smiles like sarah doesn't care. she lives in her world so unaware. does she know that my destiny lies with her? oh, sarah, are you saving me? waking up to a kiss, and you're on your way. i really hoped that you would stay, but you left and went your own way, babe. i don't mind, take your time, i've got things to do besides sit around and wait for you. and i hope you do too. it's killing me inside, consuming all my time. you've left me blind. and when i think i'm right, you strip away my pride. i'm a disappearing act done poorly. but if i ever get it right, you'll miss me sorely.
when your chips are down & your drinks are all gone, i'll still be here, wishing and waiting for you to come home. in the sickness of you, i'm just a white blood cell fighting like hell for you. i swear to God, i'd never heard a better sound coming out than when you're whimpering my name from your mouth.
i look like the cat that just ate the canary, coughing up feathers. there's a "get out of jail" card if i can think of something clever.
i'll plead the fifth on all of this.
kaleidoscope eyes, sparkle at the world. my emerald city, downtown girl.
i can only hope it's true enough that every little thing i do for love:
redeems me from the moments i deem worthy of the worst things that i've done...
and saves me from myself in times of envy when i'm missing everyone...
everything i promised, everyone I'd be...well i just ain't.
build myself a wall of unhappy hearts, and only my heart knows my head is lying.
i'll plead the fifth on all of this.
i'm so sick and tired of the liar that's in my life, of the fire that won't ignite. i'm sick of myself for letting you get to me, taking everything that i'm supposed to be. Hey! i didn't want to give this up. i didn't. i didn't want to throw it all away. i used to never stand up. now i won't back down, don't try to shut me up. they said i'd never go, but i didn't. take that.
i didn't know. somebody surprised me. i don't wanna let you go. you know it's so hard. somebody has waited too far. yes, i'm burning up, and i'm calling all the bluffs. i don't wanna let you go, but the weather changes like your mind. i don't wanna give you up, but i just might this time. hope the new grass you seek is greener than the greenest green. if it's not, or if it is, i just hope you'll be at peace, at least. so go ahead, compare the petty issues to all the awesome days. somebody is waiting too long to stay awake. there is a beautiful ending, but you're never gonna read the book. walk away, i know it hurts. don't be afraid, and know your worth.
Everyday I wake up late. Since I quit my day job, I have been sane. But responsibilities sure do remain, but I'll just let them wait. I'll admit that I don't know just where I'm going on this long and winding road that's taking me to what will be my home. So stare and see that this is me. &I will be just what I need to believe that something is what I'm gonna be. What you do is what you do. &what I do needs to be true. The things I do may need to be thought through, and of course I'll listen to you, but just remember: what's right for me, might be not right for you.
Staring at this mirror, and I'm wondering who you are. Right now is a time for searching, and now life's got so much more.
So follow me down, out of this town. Girl you're moving way too slow. I'll show you around. There's a place we gotta go...
I guess I'll speak up for the rest of us, seeing that no one else here is brave enough. 'Cause lately it's been a secret, and I have never been the finest at keeping quiet. It's like a game, and we're stuck at the start. What's the point in playing if it's all a house of cards? If this is as good as it gets, then I'm done with trying to fix it, I'm getting out of this city.
So now I'm trying to figure out and let it slide as much as I can allow. It seems the second I'm looking away, the focus and direction is draining down. I want to think it's just a phase, but the pace is really speeding up now. Well, I am done with ever doubting again. Learning by mistake isn't how it's gonna stay.
Take your time coming home.
