Baby Burn
my favorite record's on my favorite song is on repeat to remind me we came to raise the watermark light up the living dark all the honesty in me these promises I keep and the clout to shout it out when it's my turn you'll burn baby burn there's no excuse for you there's no excuse for a lack of ability for a job you do professionally you should be able to do it better than anyone else can with one hand all the honesty it takes to be these promises I've made I need to be sure my intentions are pure so when it's my turn you'll burn baby burn babe your making this too easy for me I'll take you with one hand tied behind me
Diamond
how hard I try for no matter what reasons why these songs I quote are alone in every note beneath my skin under my throat buried in my heart my whole life down to one point you've got your finger on you've got a touch of gold I'm the diamond in the time between now legends are made of this history fears to fade from this more from where I hurried into your arms and buried my heart in your magic of phone calls this tiny voice these lonely words are waiting to be heard
Evergreen
what now that you got what you wanted to somehow what's left for you what to do now that they want you now that they want you what's left for you babe it may be too late to change how you're seen someday when you wonder why you'll see maybe this wasn't the way to get what you wanted it hasn't been half what you though since you found it try to be a daisy pretty baby I strive to be an evergreen boo hoo what to do they don't respect what you do what's left of you what to do they don't respect you what did you expect when you tried to be a rocker well what a shocker
I Know Now
whatever all this distance was supposed to would it ever make sense of whatever all this time we've taken to find was supposed to prove babe what did it do to you what constant reminders of me could you see in anybody could you be a fool to think they know you by what you see like me if you don't know I need you now if you're not brave enough to save this somehow I guess I know now I guess I know now don't worry someday you'll find someone just like me and whatever all this space you needed away will prove just what I did to you everyone who knows your name now knows you for your fame and it's what I blame it's what took you away from me
In Your Hands
I wish that you did this a year ago when I didn't know when I couldn't decide where I wanted to live my life I wanted to live it with you and I asked you to in so many words that I don't know if you heard with hands over ears your hands filled with fear hold hold what you'll have tomorrow in your hands in your hands today you don't ever have to be lonely you'll hold me someday I found a city with nothing to lose and I have everything to prove why can't we just decide to find a way to put our lives side by side I've never held you over a moment or two did you have to break something apart to see it's heart make sure of what's inside if all the pieces fit right is it just that if we say it does it mean that's all that matters that's what love is and we have it I wish that we were older when we met we would know more about what the sight of life would project and every night I fight I bite my lip not to say it I want to wake up to your skin Tim when will we begin to have the love we know we're capable of
Love Is Perfect In Its Own Longing
I swear by this time next year we will be together somehow how because I can't imagine how much more I am going to need you here next year I know your touch enough from my dreams to love you but I wait with fear I don't need a reason to love you I just need you here I can bend but I won't break I sway back and forth on a tightrope we built together but I won't fall I will stand here for as long as you need me to hold on to the thought of you I won't fall it's overwhelming every morning sleep is the only place we're not afraid but I can hold you there and I tell you everything love is perfect in its own longing I will stand here as long as you need me to hold on to the though of you
Memory Won’t Erase
last winter was so warm with you and the cold winds are beginning to blow through me and I see the fall is leaving and the summer was so decieving make me search for your face in crowded rooms to prepare myself for how crazy it makes me to see you and the cold night only reminds me of how warm I was in your embrace and the tattoo of your face my memory won't erase do you wish we left love out of it started a fire and left when it lit you gave me the scent that remains only yours to haunt me at anytime anywhere of your allure make me search for your face in crowded rooms to prepare myself for how crazy it makes me to see you make me hunt for your scent in crowded rooms to prepare myself for how crazy it makes me to see you
Nothing To Me
when will my aching heart get the start it needs to breathe sex doesn't ever mean nothing to me if everything dies if love lies then I'll continue drinking down the parts of the day that I can't sleep away that I can't sleep away you're a centerfold brave to be so bold you've got to have rock and roll in your soul you let me behold a story foretold you've got to have rock and roll in your soul I didn't mean for this to happen I just wanted you to hear me sex doesn't ever mean nothing to me I wanted to touch you but doesn't everybody want to
Only This
just to wake with any real thing is enough for me hide my face so you only you only see me when I'm sleeping it means too much when I can't touch you with my heart only these hands only this body my skin won't ever tell him how I let you in but my heart would if it could I can't do it to you but I do through and through if you knew me well you could tell that it's best not to kiss a neck with an elephant on it's chest
Sonnets Unsung
the only love that I thought I'd ever have had given me the reason I needed to believe in him and I waited seven years for him but that's just when I got to know you aside from your eyes aside from your face your grace I knew I loved you then right then when I left him I knew I loved you then right then so take me when you're ready hide me in your arms sing me my love songs that I know you wrote for me and it kills me everytime I sleep you keep my sonnets unsung unheard sing me every word you're the only love in my heart now so give me the reason I need to believe in you I'll wait forever for you because it would ruin me to say goodbye to your eyes goodbye to your face your grace
Thin Stitches Pull To Fit
sight of the hotel card key gets the best of me but what doors could hold us but these could a fool like me be the one who gets to think they know you close enough for us to get to what's between us tend to it a bit mend a part that ripped thin stitches pull to fit the horror of the cry of calls made complimentary for the waking of the day or what you're supposed to make of it close enough for us to get to what's between us is never long enough for me to prove to you that it's not just luck making this up what's between us how hard I've tried to memorize how you feel inside thin stitches pull to fit or what you're supposed to make of it
The Subject Of This Song
you were the first to kiss me in the way that I deserve to the first to in longer than I'll admit to you Beatty don't take too long or you might not be the subject of this song this is the first time I have ever needed anybody's eyes to be seen by the first time anybody's eyes have ever held mine Beatty don't make me wait too long don't you want this song you had the nerve to take me in a way that I'm not used to the nerve to in longer than I'll admit to you Beatty don't stay away too long don't you want this song don't you want to be the subject of this song
To Stop
I only come when he tells me to and he's the only one who who has ever told me what to do and now I need him to I need him to I shot down every single other advance you never gave me a chance to stop don't stop until I tell you when will I tell you to he needs the things in me that I shake off when I shiver what is easiest for me is the one thing he doesn't understand is the one thing I can the one thing that I can
No Goodbye
I never let it get quiet enough to hear it but it's coming out of me wether or not I want to let it it sits in the back of my throat if I let it out I'll choke it's taken me all of three years to write this song to hear myself sing these words and know you are gone this has all happened before to find you at my door no goodbye has passed between our lips so how can I believe this how can I see you're alive without me when you never said goodbye to me so I hold belief in finding your eyes to see myself again
Pale Blue
pale eyes and skin all I remember are bluebirds on shoulders they never tell me where you are I could never find you but here I am your long lost one night stand how can I say no to you I've been looking for you pale blue since I met you a breath that has passed an opportunity there is still something left unbroken by me I never tell you where I am you could never find me well here you are a scratch that didn't scar
I do now
it's over I can't roll over in my sleep and see your face above me and know that you don't want to touch me so I burn on my own desire I'm sorry it meant too much to me but I can't wait for you to feel what I do now now it's done and I hate what we've become I promised myself that I would never be put on a shelf I deserve a lover who wants me only needs to hold me and you don't
Drink Deeply
I had a taste of what my life would be like if you were mine when you were mine I drank too deeply of your eyes every time too obvious was my lust and longing to be holding you inside of me but I drink too deeply
After That Second
if I knew it would make you leave your life I'd tell you If I knew I could walk away after the second I tell you everything I'll need to tell you forever with every aching inch of my body that longs to be near you I love you with the thought of lying in your embrace I know I couldn't need anything more after that second the second I tell you everything how hard forever is to hear in your voice when all that's left is choice how far away we are from time's ease of speed just keep my heart safe please anyone who knows me well would yell you what I need to
Billy
I could have ruined the good in you I risked it with every minute I let this continue you never knew just what I got you into just what I got you into my heart is too hard my blood is too thin and you don't know where my love has been you never let go when you're supposed to I was so ashamed of what my face gave away just to hear his name how I can't look at you the same i never knew how little it would take for me to break you how little it would take to break you my hands are too cold my arms are too stiff you don't know who you're in love with don't ever let go when you're supposed to
