Crashing Down

I spent my time
Following lines
Of lies that'll never come true
I just wanted to be with you
I only wanted to be with you

When you walked away
There was so much left to say
Of dreams that'll never come true
I just wanted to be with you
I only wanted to be with you

But now, it's all, but broken
The wounds, yet remain, open
I hear you speak, read your words
And I come crashing down
It's not fair... it's not fair.

I just want more
I'm done with this past
These broken scenes
Will never mean
The same old things

You can call, you can write
You can spend all your time
On words that'll never come true
I just want to move on from you
I only want to move on from you

I'm chasing these words
It's not longer action--just verbs
On subjects that can't understand
I just want to move on from you
I only want to move on from you

But now, it's all, but broken
The wounds, yet remain, open
I hear you speak, read your words
And I come crashing down
It's not fair... it's not fair.

I just want more
I'm done with this past
These broken scenes
Will never mean
The same old things

Shower Scenes

This cold rain
It's breaking through my skin
It's tearing down the glass
That I am locked up in

This steam, this ring
This all seems to fall so fast
I'm paying dues
To a fogged up, clouded past

And it's not like anyone never felt this way before
But somehow I can't bring myself to open up this door

You're just cloaked in red paint
You're just stoned from all the times you've ran away
And I'm holding close a notebook filled with black ink
I can't think
You're running away again

These minutes have
All taken the slowest breaths
I'm clinging
To all that you have abandoned and left

These ripped notes
The last moments that were true
I'm ready, yes I am--
I always did believe you

And it's not like anyone never felt this way before
But somehow I can't bring myself to open up this door

You're just cloaked in red paint
You're just stoned from all the times you've ran away
And I'm holding close a notebook filled with black ink
I can't think
You're running away again

A Song I Can't Remember

You took my hand,
The light from under the door cast our shadows long,
The silence was all we needed,
My beating heart was louder than any song.

You just pull me close.
One hand by my side as we rock along.
Our fingers intertwine
My beating heart was louder than any song.

And there, in your eyes
I see more than just blue
You're smiling, and I'm falling
I can hardle stand by the thought of you

You took my hand,
I know now, this isn't my last chance--
I know I'm glowing, I can't help showing
This is more than just a dance.

I may have asked first.
But you didn't have to say yes.
You saw surprise, fill my eyes
When you pull me to your chest.

You're captivating.
The way you hold me, it's all class.
I'm Audrey, Grace Kelly
And this is more than just a dance.

1987

She's breaking down now, she's breaking down now.

She'll keep that smile on
In hopes that she'll believe it.
She's got her beer
And her faith that she'll believe it.
Don't sweep too fast;
Keep the dishes in the sink.
She'll break you down,
She'll break you down so slowly.

And everything isn't everything she wanted.
I'm watching them, wondering
When did money become so important?
My mac & cheese
Bring me back to those days
Bring me back again.

She has her smile on
She's got him to believe him
Annie's on
She'll sing until she believes it.
Don't run through the house,
And our meals are all that matter.
She used to break down,
It always went so slowly.

And everything isn't everything she wanted.
I'm watching them, wondering
When did money become so important?
I used to climb trees
Bring me back to those days
Bring me back again.
Bring me back again.

Airplanes

It seems that all these dreams
They never take me anywhere
But laying in your arms tonight
Is taking me everywhere

And this airport is like the ones you see in the movies
Where he's chasing his lover as she's leaving
And when you look at me that way
I know I'm going to spend everyday
Chasing you; I gotta keep you from leaving

And when you tell me, you wish I was there
"It would of brought us closer,"
Well, baby, now you're everywhere

And I don't know, how I spent these days
At this airport, just watching the planes
And now in the night, I swear that one's a star
But you're telling me, it's not that far, it's not that far

You think that maybe, well just maybe,
You could take me that far
Please, take me far
"Don't leave me..." And now I'm begging...
I wonder if you ever see the everything you are to me.

I've told everyone before that I can't write about love
Until it falls apart, which it always does.
It's always so cheesy, I swear I've hear that before.
But no words can explain what happens when I open my door.
I am breathless, and I can't speak.
I wonder if you know that you make me weak.

The last man I gave my everything
Well he just walked away.
But even if you turned around right now,
It'd never be okay.
You're my last plane,
My last flight home.
This is that night at Sons.
This is that message on the phone.
This is next to a pond.
This is waking up with you.
This is the sun at the pool,
And our first dance too.

Don't walk away.
I hope I never miss you.
I hope I never miss you.
And if you walk away,
I'll be right behind you.
I swear I'll chase your plane.

Empty

I spent last night with four different bottles
I begged them not to judge me,
Like a stripper to a model.

You spent the night in my sky
Like that Goddamn shooting star.
You were there a second, you didn't go far

I turned the light off, turned off the memories
I lit up that green
It was making love to me.

I wonder sometimes
Past the pouring guitar
The broken fiddle, the shooting star.

Guess it doesn't matter, the geniuses are always twisted
I had something there
But then again, you missed it.

Climbing up that tree like I was five
Past my carved name
It twisted past the fence, never tamed

Can you beg me once more?
You're banging down my door.
It never seems to end.
I put my foot down, this is the end.
This story's old, but
It goes on & on until we disappear.
It's fading fast.
Let the bottle wither it away.

Transit

I've got your heart
Hanging around by my throat
And mine
Is just dangling inside.
You broke my tears
No, they won't come anymore
I think they fell
Just too many times
And I sing Bruised
On the bus home at night
Those blue lights
They drown us all out
The passengers sway
When we make the turns
We're all emotionless
We've all been burned
I took my paycheck
Spent it on green and a bottle
Spent the night
On a cold bed
I took my letter
And sent it your way
I know you'll read it
And think this is the end
Well I sing Bruised
On the bus home at night
He's singing to traffic lights
And those big rimmed cars
The passengers watch
As I thank the driver and leave
What this all means
I'm not really sure
So I took a walk
And remembered how we met
And how we ended
The first go around
You spent your last night
In the passenger seat of my car
You laid it back
So I could get on you
Now we're both so far
Away from each other
We're breaking our hearts
With every lonely moon
So now I'm singing Cash
Feeling those prison blues
It's on the news
It's a Goddamn war.
It's the sun burning
My neck in January
It's much too warm here
Something's wrong.
So I sing Bruised
On the bus home at night
Those blue lights
They drown us all out
The passengers sway
When we make the turns
Driver, can you save me?
What's there to learn?

Guitar

it's something in the way you move
you just break me down so badly
you cloud your eyes, thinking i can't see
your making fun with the broken heart inside of me
it takes a man to do what's right
my father says that it's the hardest
decision, so just take your time
i already know you'll never be mine

so go and pull my strings, tweak my tune
make me beg for your attention
the chords all wrong, the timings off
i'm just begging for your attention

i wonder if it's something in my reflection
that makes you look so damn good
you read my eyes, you know it's true
i want so badly just to believe in you
there's letters hiding in the side drawer
and the music playing isn't what you wanted
you thought that i could be so blind and strong
well darlin', i can see you've got me all wrong

so go and pull my strings, tweak my tune
make me beg for your attention
the chords all wrong, the timings off
i'm just begging for your attention
so go and pull my strings, tweak my tune
make me beg for the goddamn truth
the chords all wrong, the timings off
i'm just begging for some truth

and i'm laying here in an empty bed
wondering about every word you said
do you plan your lines? practice your diction?
just to make me into a victim?
guess when i tell the truth
it's ammo for you
i guess i'm begging to be the victim

so go and pull my strings, tweak my tune
make me beg for your attention
the chords all wrong, the timings off
i'm just begging for your attention

Untitled

the smoke grazes on the other side of the glass like reflections of people walking by
the branches intertwine themselves like stained glass across an idle sky

and i lay there
still as can be
i feel the sands of time
fall from underneath me

the clouds exhale the wind evaporating the water off my thighs
i try so hard to make you move with a sober face, step across that line

and i lay there
still as can be
i fell the sands of time
fall from underneath me

and you smile with lips that say we're just friends
pinkies that promise it won't ever happen again
why does it only take a little beer to get you to let me in?

and i lay there
still as can be
and i lay there
you already promised me
and i lay there
still as can be
i feel the sands of time
fall from underneath me

there you go
falling underneath me

Away

I had to give you away.
I had to give you away.


She’s walking on that cross again
Balancing on that edge again
I watch her fragile smile break her face
She laughs right after the rain
Comes home with shoes soaking
She calls it home, but knows home’s not a place

And maybe if she eats up that guilt
She’ll smile back and maybe feel
And maybe if she drinks it away

Flush it down—if it burns it kills
She needs to feels as if she’s built
Some kind of wall, even one she could push

She’s stepping on my toes again
Challenging what she’s always believed in
I try to throw something her way—try and make her strong
She’s trying to drive herself home again
Out past where the HOV ends
And down to where it begins—she’s burning both ends

I had to give her away
I had to give you away

She’s like the fire, lets her burn away
Like the cigarette ends that blew her away
She holds it in; let it soak up the pain

Maybe if she exhales it out
The pain, it’ll blow out like the smoke
Blow it out—if it burns then it kills

She won’t come to me, she won’t ask for help
She won’t let it go, I won’t let it pass
You’ve got stand trial for your sins girl

She swears she’s better than she once was
Takes a drag and goes to walk on
The wind leaves her hair like a crown of thorns
He’s burned her away into a brand
She swears she’s become something she can’t stand
Her fragile smile breaks her face.

Arson

You’re setting fire to our bridge
I can sense the water below
You’re hiding in the darkness
As you let me go
I’m floating on
The last plank
As the rest burns away

The lines I saved them in my phone
But I suppose that can’t save me
The backseat of my car’s on fire
& I can’t breathe
I’m choking on
The smokes
We once shared

So won’t you toss the lighter this way?
I’ll end it for you now
You won’t even have to show your face
You won’t even tell me how
I lost you
So quickly
The words, they burn away

So let’s have us a light
That’s how this started anyways
Let’s burn the bridge I’m standing on
I’m alone anyways
I won’t even speak a word
About the arsons you commit

Crash

Standing up, letting it break
I’m done with all that I can take
Staring up, leaning against something I don’t love

The gray has all gone to black
And I the times I said I wouldn’t take back
Are sitting in the backseat with me now

And he deserves so much more
Than what you left broken, lying on the floor
So I try to give him all that I can feel

And staring up, I stutter and say
The night light has all broken away
I tell you how I love the stars

Can you see that one so bright?
But all he sees is the black night
And says the stars are coming crashing down

Well, let them crash
Let them fall and rain on you and me
Let them crash
We’ve done all that we were meant to be
Let them fall and weep and cry like tears
I’m done with all my fenced in fears
Let them crash
I’m ready to be broken

I can’t cry to him how it’s not about you
I can’t love to him like I used to do
And I wish I could feel that all he says is real

The smoke has soaked into our skin
But I still won’t let him in
I want to, let him in, let you go

The crying’s done, at least that’s true
The look in my eyes, about broken truths
Can I let go of the lies I try to hide?

And staring up, I stutter and say
The night light has all broken away
I tell you how I love the stars

Can you see that one so bright?
But all he sees is the black night
And says the stars are coming crashing down

Well, let them crash
Let them fall and rain on you and me
Let them crash
We’ve done all that we were meant to be
Let them fall and weep and cry like tears
I’m done with all my fenced in fears
Let them crash
I’m ready to be broken

Blind

I’m done with broken prayers
Bruised knees only washed with tears
I’m sick of broken smiles
You think this is all about you
You’re not the only one
I promise you, it’s all been done
I’m sick, I’m sick of waiting
On some lost fairytale
The prince he’s gone, he ran away
And the princess, well, she’s not really much of one
So let it go
I’m done with all the things I said

You know I’ll love you till the day I pass out bleeding
You know I’ll hate the way you lied, you’re so deceiving
You change your mind, time after time
Pick a way you want me to feel
I try and try, you’re all but mine
And I can’t believe what I’m seeing

There are two of you
And you take me different directions
This isn’t about you
It’s about him, and what I’m seeing
I know you’ll read this song, and hear it as a letter to your soul
I promise you, I’m done with it all, and this is about the one before you

You know I’ll love you till the day I pass out bleeding
You know I’ll hate the way you lied, you’re so deceiving
You change your mind, time after time
Pick a way you want me to feel
I try and try, you’re all but mine
And I can’t believe what I’m seeing

The letters you wrote, they’re the only ones I kept
The things you broke, well it’s still rotting in my chest
The messages on my phone, you still won’t leave me alone
And you know how much I hate the loneliness
You let me have the pieces, just to look at and just see
There’s no putting it together, broken down creatively

You know I’ll love you till the day I pass out bleeding
You know I’ll hate the way you lied, you’re so deceiving
You change your mind, time after time
Pick a way you want me to feel
I try and try, you’re all but mine
And I can’t believe what I’m seeing

A broken line
It means not much
Not much at all
You be the words
Poured out my mouth
With no sentence at all
The lips that kiss
They don’t mean this
And you don’t mean it all
So let it go
It’s falling out
I’m falling down now

You know I’ll love you till the day I pass out bleeding
You know I’ll hate the way you lied, you’re so deceiving
You change your mind, time after time
Pick a way you want me to feel
I try and try, you’re all but mine
And I can’t believe what I’m seeing

Materials

The velvet is crushed,
like the heart I have in store for you.
He painted pictures of bleeding lace,
and colored my eyes with paintings of you.

You once were some sort of idol
shaking upon your golden stand.
The winter wind left me grasping,
as only a broken doll can.

I smiled and cried with tears of gold
Reflecting in your misty light.
But then as I fell I hit the stand,
it chipped away--blinding black in my sight.

The gold you gave me, it was only plated.
The shaking soon became a quake,
and the chip spread and cracked into a web
of lies I made only for your sake.

The woven webs broke slowly down,
and you crashed upon your face.
The gold became a rusted shatter,
and the webs broke into a lace.

The bleeding lace wrapped itself
around and strangles my heart.
You crush the velvet with your forgetfulness,
and I've always let you tear me apart.

How dare you deceive me with your sins?
You forget and forget and create this play.
Do you not remember the pain,
as all your gold wore away?

And the shimmer inside me
was dimmed when your denying shine.
But you were only plated
and the words were all only lines.

And the velvet remains crushed.
Only the bleeding lace faded away.
But he painted pictures of our pain
that around my heart still remain.

How dare you deceive me with your sins?
You forget and forget and create this play.
Do you not remember the pain,
as all your gold wore away?

The Seafarer [Remix]

Sitting upon broken waves he feels
Torn upon the waves of society and his soul.
It calls to him.
It beckons him, towards the salty air, towards the feather chorus.
He feels nothing else.
"No passion for women, no worldly pleasures,
Nothing, only the ocean's heave;"
The wind cries with sorrowful needs
Echoing the pleas his soul mourns.
The land only wonders of this calling:
"Who could understand,
in ignorant ease, what we others suffer
as the paths of exile stretch endlessly on?"
And yet, he pulls towards the calling.
His wyrd is determined, only to be stretched or shortened by the three:
"...illness, or age, or an enemy's
Sword, snatching the life from his soul."
The calling comes with the loss of familiarity.
There are no kings, no kinsmen, no wonderful things--
"...those pleasures are dead."
The calling of nature dies, and the weak continue,
and the world spins on "Kept spinning by toil."
The gold tarnishes with the images of the men who molded it.
Their glory passes away, faded in the toil hurricane.
His soul feels no pain,
only the calling, of the Lord's wishes.
No worldly pleasures could shake His wrath
paining those who have sinned on earth.
"Death leaps at the fools who forget their God."
His humility of his waves keeps him with the angels.
Fate is the soul's hand
pushing it to the waves of the sea.
The waves of his wyrd,
the waves of his Lord:
"Praise the Holy Grace of Him who honored us, Eternal, unchanging creator of earth. Amen."

Roses

as footsteps fade on fallen steps
the petals fall
the petals fall
I watch the colors fade away from red
the petals fall
the petals fall
and you can paint me in red roses
and only you can paint me blue
but the petals fall from those red roses
as I fell out of love with you
something shook the sky today
the petals fell
the petals fell
red and blue streaks as you drove away
the petals fell
the petals fell
and you can paint me in red roses
and only you can paint me blue
but the petals fall from those red roses
as I fell out of love with you
and the ground began to weep
the petals lay
the petals lay
coldness slept upon my seat
the petals lay
the petals lay
and you can paint me in red roses
and only you can paint me blue
but the petals fall from those red roses
as I fell out of love with you
and I watch you walk away with fallen orange, blue, red
replay back the beats, the colors, the things you said
in the rain once more, the end is no longer near
a hopeful pain for better as I let you leave here
and you can paint me in red roses
and only you can paint me blue
but the petals fall from those red roses
as I fell out of love with you
and the petals rose above and away
and they rained from the sky
I thought that I would cry today
when you came to say goodbye
instead I smiled, choked, and lost myself
red roses dried up on my wall
and you'll grow on without my help
I’m over our blue fall
and you can paint me in red roses
and only you can paint me blue
but the petals fall from those red roses
as I fell out of love with you
and I paint you in the clouds now
and only I see you in the sky
but the rain drops fell from those clouds now
and I wish the best for you

Dead

Conscious crashing overload
At 2 a.m. with the darkness cold
Pressing upon my pulsing veins
Streaming into electronic strains
The Devil smiles, “I’m sorry, my dear,”
Attempts to sway my underlying fears
Broken once with the Devil’s bat
Like a bat out of hell with a winding smack
Three, six, and five all pass by
Back to early morning eyes
A loneliness I cannot fill
As eyes pace along a moonlit window sill
The Devil insists, “I’m sorry, my love,”
Leaves me feeling cut out from above
So with heavy eyes, a flowing sermon
Of stars and cracks and shiny burdens
Of knives and roses and a beast
And a tiny girl fit for a feast
The Devil grins, “I’m sorry, my hunger,”
Leaves me, a tiny girl, to wonder

Text

My pen is emptying itself upon your page
Thick and slick and blue
Once clear became cherry then fading into burgundy
Now sapphire on edges of you
I once could let my ink roam around your lines
Cross them and near the center
Now my words and stripes stay straight between
There’s no straying, I’m staying
On your sheet
Between your limits
Now I’m left just a corner
Now as you drift far away
I know my mark isn’t fading
My scratch outs, my x’s, my holes torn through
But my ink of pink overruns this azure
I’m writing alone without your side
It’s floating away upon a wind of past
You’re so gone, so gone, so blown away
And not with the smile like you used to give
Your page, your page, just turned away
Drifted away without me

Courting

Killer King crowned on me
Taking on upon your Queen
Smiling sun’s fire burn
A devilish grin with soulful yearn
A paper bag over my head
Cut out eyes, dark mouth said,
“You tell me it can’t be done”
Down deep upon all puns
Kissing sweeps overflowed
Don’t move too fast, red-green go
Torn up time and I can’t see
I’m spitting out my hypocrisy
Pain upon pills, release me now
I’m all done and I know more now
You’re so damn contagious
Falling down sparkles on your eyes
The way I feel so damn outrageous
I’m outraged, you made me feel
I’m counting down all my phases
Can’t you see I’m broken down?
Let you sit and count the pages
Turn them down, I’m here now
You’re taking me apart
Piece by piece and star by star
Falling down without the sun
My empty house and you are no one
So now I’ve won a bet on flesh
You’re a slave and I’m a catch
You’re sat two-feet away
You’re as close as winter may
I am hard ice melting down
Keep me warm, keep you around
Corners form as curved as me
Sharpened soft holds upon a baby-tee
You’re so damn contagious
Falling down sparkles on your eyes
The way I feel so damn outrageous
I’m outraged, you made me feel
I’m counting down all my phases
Can’t you see I’m broken down?
Let you sit and count the pages
Turn them down, I’m here now
I’m a fix upon your crack
I’m a turn upon your track
Pre-packaged perfect under wrap
Wrap me up and read my map
Stutter, stumble, as I crumble
I lost this game as you fumbled
Red and blue, bleeding into pink
I’m working hard and I can’t think
Pickled perfect in a jar
I’m sparkling and you’re so far
Questions in your head to my definition
Questions in my head, “what am I missing?”
You’re so damn contagious
Falling down sparkles on your eyes
The way I feel so damn outrageous
I’m outraged, you made me feel
I’m counting down all my phases
Can’t you see I’m broken down?
Let you sit and count the pages
Turn them down, I’m here now

Repeat

Hold on
I know you want to let go
Hold on
Don’t leave me alone
I can’t think
And thoughts scream into words
I can speak
Sounds of old proverbs
So hold on
Hold out
Hold in
Spit me out
Smooth me down
Let me in
A minute
Push in it
All its sins
So hold on
Don’t let this end
Quite yet
Echo in
To old prophecy’s verbs
Echo in
To my whirlwind world
Make me
Into anything please
Make me
Because I don’t want to leave
So hold on
Hold out
Hold in
Spit me out
Smooth me down
Let me in
A minute
Push in it
All its sins
So hold on
Don’t let this end
Quite yet
Give me
Just a little more time
Give me
The clock the Mister winds
For am I
Just an example to you?
For am I
Everything right a person can do?
So hold on
Hold out
Hold in
Spit me out
Smooth me down
Let me in
A minute
Push in it
All its sins
So hold on
Don’t let this end
Quite yet
Hating it
All the righteous ways
Hating it
I want sins to drop acid rain
Corrupting
The bright shining day
Corrupting
The liar’s spiraled ways
So hold on
Hold out
Hold in
Spit me out
Smooth me down
Let me in
A minute
Push in it
All its sins
So hold on
Don’t let this end
Quite yet

Stars

Nothings forever
That’s what they keep telling me
Every time I mention us
They deny our longevity
And honestly, I can’t disagree
Reality keeps grinding at
My optimism, fantasies, my glass
Half full, me smiling back
But I can’t lose hope
And I can’t lose faith
You could call it ignorance
But it’s humanity’s rape
Stars shouldn’t flicker
When I’m looking up high
You tell me I have no choice
Everything dies
But stars only fall
Gracefully share the skies
You tell me nothings forever
But love never dies
How could you deny me
Of my bliss?
I could never lose anticipation
I could never be a pessimist
And I’m not unaware
I know there He must be
He always taught me devotion
Well, I believe
But I can’t lose hope
And I can’t lose faith
You could call it ignorance
But it’s humanity’s rape
Stars shouldn’t flicker
When I’m looking up high
You tell me I have no choice
Everything dies
But stars only fall
Gracefully share the skies
You tell me nothings forever
But love never dies

Holes

I fell in love with a man full of holes
His tears reflect the pain caught in his soul
Each drop is concentrated, purely his pain
Swirling hurricane, his steaming downpour of rain
The currents keep circling, won’t let the pain go
Pretender, imagine that you’ve sealed all the holes
But I see his scars
And they’re burning
They’re busting
With every flow
Its turning
It’s rushing
And I’m trying to be the eye of the storm
Centering peace is hard all on my own
But he’s my man of holes
I fell in love with a man full of holes
His tears reflect the pain caught in his soul
Each drop is concentrated, purely his pain
Swirling hurricane, his steaming downpour of rain
The currents keep circling, won’t let the pain go
Pretender, imagine that you’ve sealed all the holes
I won’t let go
I won’t just leave you behind
My man of holes
Let me heal your soul
I won’t let go
I won’t let go
I love my man of holes
Leaking unsealed pain of his soul
Pushing, pulling, fogging rain
My own beautiful hurricane
My man of holes
man of holes

Waterslide

Tormenting tunnel
Curved and corners
Can’t see what’s ahead of me
Can’t remember what’s behind
Went by too quickly
Losing grip
Twisting, slip and falling, free-falling
No control
Blasted by waterfalls
Glimmering warm sunshine through seams
Rusted nails clipping on me
Still trying
With the tide high
Keeps pushing, slowly sinking
Gripping fingers
Strength, please don’t leave me
Hydroplaning, sliding, gliding
Slipping, sliding
I won’t let go
Give me something to believe in
See the sunshine far away
Glittering, glowing
I won’t sink.

Nothing

All lost and happy
Never knew what you’d mean to me
Used and scarred
But you healed me, you saved me
Underneath you are a million reflections
Scattered bits of glass

And I see you, maybe more that you need
Never did I let anyone see so much of me
Did you see I was afraid?

Never thought you’d save me
Even now, I’m amazed
For everything you’ve ever said
Endlessly meant a million things to me
Real, you feel every thought, vibe, of me
Tame, but wild, hell, I know you’ve got me
I know you can handle every crazy insane page of me
Thoughts of pages with edges dog-eared up
I love you more everyday, never it’s enough

Turning

Screaming at the top of my lungs
Lyrics to a song I love
Every word reminds me of you
And that 20 ticket ring faded blue
Bubblegum pink outlines
These words on this page
Every word keeps reminding me
Of black & white ink fading
And I joke
Say, “baby,”
“I love you more than Oreos.”
But you know how it goes
With every turn in every road
And I know
Think too much
And when the rain comes down cold
What’s up next? I don’t know
With every turn in every road
See the Knicks beanie
Laying on my hotel bed
Every thought brings me to you
With orange, black, & blues
See the bright red outside of me
And I go to turn to you
Every thought keeps bringing me
Back to dark memories
And I joke
Say, “baby,”
“I love you more than Oreos.”
But you know how it goes
With every turn in every road
And I know
Think too much
And when the rain comes down cold
What’s up next? I don’t know
With every turn in every road
And do you remember?
Or was it just me?
Will you always remember?
You say you’ll never leave.
And I know
Think too much
And when the rain comes down cold
I wonder if you know
With every turn in every road

Stuttering

You pour on me
Like a summer rain
It's the ride of my life
On your silver train
You're like the highest drop
On a mountain peak
It's like a drunken pill
Making me dizzy and weak
You crush my fears
Like a boxer’s blow
It's watching the sun
Come down to a glow
It's like the pounding
Of a child's heartbeat
It's like the coolness
Of waves at my feet
It's like a silent butterfly
Sweeping through air
Like the exploding fireworks
At the county fair
Like talking to the stars
Perfect and spanning above
It's the hungry wanting
Of your first love
As bright as the pictures
Showing in my brain
Vibrant scenes of myself
Crazy in love, insane
It's like these words
Being choked inside
How can I express
These thoughts in my mind?
How can I explain
What I feel about you?
I'm so afraid of this love
Like a wish come true
It's like that one dream
That I craved to be real
How could I put in plain words
How my love for you feels?
