please forgive me.
in the middle of summer, we watch the birds dance in the light
she watches everything, and she knows when i'm shrinking.
somehow, tonight, i just can't get it right.
i walk outside to look at the garden, and realize i haven't weeded in weeks.
so i start weeding, with the feeling that it's neverending
cause all i can think about are the ones underneath.
how can anyone still love me with the things i have done?
the promises i've broken, and the complete disregard i have had for other people?
and then i feel bad for myself when things don't work out. it's JUST KARMIC.
and here i am, stupid, dumb, thinking be here now be here now and i don't deserve the comfort.
i have recreated my past through my own actions. i must continue to move forward, but i don't know how. i don't know how to pretend that i can walk around without emanating the sorrow that has enveloped me. i can't move without wanting to die.
i can't think and i can't ignore it. i can't do anything. i am completely frozen and useless.
i think i'll pack it in, buy a pickup, and drive it down to LA
the woman i'm thinking of, she loved me all up, but i'm so down today.
she's got pictures on the wall, they make me look up from her big brass bed.
all of this is true and all of it is pretend.
what have i done?
JUST BE.
you never understood that it ain't no good, you shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you.
all these songs make sense now. the woman i'm thinking of, she loved me all up. but i'm so down today.
you need to start communicating.
you were never very kind, and you let me WAY DOWN every time.
(you came crawling back to say that you wanna make good in the end.
but oh, let me count the ways that i abhor you.)
THINKING FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT, AT ALL COSTS. BUT INSTEAD I LET YOU IN, JUST LIKE I'VE ALWAYS DONE.
do you want to devote your life to this girl or not?
if you believe in something beautiful, then get up and be it.
if you've got something to shed some light, use it tonight.
if you think that i can be forgiven, i wish you would.
if you still want me, please forgive me. this crown of love has fallen from me.
I CARVED YOUR NAME ACROSS MY EYELIDS, AND PRAYED FOR RAIN.
YOU PRAYED FOR BLINDNESS.
the only thing that i keep saying is your name.
you've gotta be the one, you've gotta be the way.
your name is the only word that i can say.
