LOVE and TIMING
1
Do you remember how fascinating the concept of words was...
Don't you remember how beautiful everything was?
Cuz I can't recall the day that I last felt this way
like a child born into the world at eighteen
I miss the days I spent confusing my life with real dreams
let me reminisce about things I've yet to witness
cuz I saw them in my head, oh yeah, when I wasn't yet alive
I was the world and the world was me but now there's just time
time to waste with the ones you love or wishing you had someone
And as the world spins on an invisible string that holds up everything
I just wanna watch
I just wanna see the world as it is true
I just wanna sit right here and observe the beauty that is existin'
and I'd be honored if I could do it with you

Let's get back to the very start
there isn't anything more entertaining than the volatile state of the heart
The first thing worth remembering is a crazy word called love
I used to see it as more than a chemical reaction
I thought it was imparted to us from above
but little kids' prayers don't get them anywhere
and day-dreams don't get that far
and I've learned too much 'bout this world
and I've learned everyone doesn't get what they deserve
the darkest nights and the heaviest tears
gave me insight as to why real love is so rare
but if I had to have it anyway
I'd rather know of heartbreak
than to never have felt that feeling all through my body
People are always tyin' emotions to the heart
but that's just an organ that keeps us alive
so stop wasting time analyzing things apart
cuz baby, emotions are just chemicals goin' wild

Barely conscious and beautiful
did you choose to be this way?
If you would only answer yes...mmm but you'll just flip your hair
Can I tell you how important you are?
you'd cut me off and give shallow reasons
but I can see through your body
and I can see you change with the seasons
you're not evolving anymore baby it's time you let go
why don't you look in the fucking mirror baby and let yourself know
just know
You're worth every minute of lies that you clutter up in your mind
and I'd stand with you forever even though we wouldn't talk at all
if you're gonna fake it just tell me
I don't wanna waste my time
If you're gonna just play me out
I don't wanna stand in line
if you're gonna fake it just tell me
I don't wanna waste our time
but oh I love you
and I hate you that much worse
but it hurts when I need you
and when I don't, there's just more hurt
And oh I love you even when you're eyes are blank
and when I can hear the lies formin' behind that smile
even though I know they're forged I love every word you grace upon my mind
so just drop the acts
you don't need all their attention
when you realize what you really need I'll be here waiting with my head in my hands
hoping to one day look up
and see you there as you stand
and welcome you in embrace to a time and a place that I've been waiting for forever
a paradise right here in hell's center
baby we'll live in a paradise here in hell's center
