| Nice To Know You Better than watching gellar bending silver spoons Better than witnessing newborn nebulas in bloom She who see's from up high smiles and surely sings Prospective pries her once weighty eyes and it gives you wings I haven? felt the way, I feel today In so long it? hard for me to specify I? beginning to notice How much this feels like a waking limb Pins and needles, nice to know you Good-bye, Nice to Know You Deeper than the deepest Coustou would ever go Higher than the heights of what we often think we know Impressed that she who clearly sees the wealth of the trees To obtain a birds eye is to turn a blizzard to a breeze I haven? felt the way, I feel today In so long it? hard for me to specify I? beginning to notice How much this feels like a waking limb Pins and needles, nice to know you Good-bye, Nice to Know You To know..You Could it be that it had been there all along I haven? felt the way, I feel today In so long it? hard for me to specify I? beginning to notice How much this feels like a waking limb Pins and needles, nice to know you Good-bye, Nice to Know You To know..You ==================================== Circles You saw me lost in treading water I looked pathetic and As helpless as a stinger Without a bee But underneath my presentation Yeah I knew the walls were coming down And the stones that fell were Aiming away from me Hey what would it mean to you? To know that it'll Come back around again Hey whatever it means to you Know that everything Moves in circles I saw you standing in My headlights Blink blink blink I thought I'd run you down For the weight you left on me But then I pressed rewind Reversed and drove away And see you Disappear in my rearview Brought to me the word Reciprocity Hey what would it mean to you? To know that it'll Come back around again Hey whatever it means to you Know that everything Moves in circles Round and round we go We could know It'd end so well We fall on and we fall off Existential carousel Spin Hey what would it mean to you? To know that it'll Come back around again Hey whatever it means to you Know that everything Moves in circles Everything moves in circles Round and round and Round and round and Round and round and Round and round ================================ Wish You Were Here (another version) I dig my toes into the sand The ocean looks like A thousand diamonds Strewn across a blue blanket I lean against the wind Pretend that I am weightless And in this moment I am happy, happy I, wish you were here I, wish you were here I, wish you were here I, wish you were Here I lay my head onto the sand The sky resembles A backlit canopy With holes punched in it I'm counting UFOs I signal them with My lighter And in this moment I am happy, happy I, wish you were here I, wish you were here I, wish you were Here Wish you were here I, oh The world's a rollercoaster And I am not strapped in Maybe I should hold with care While my hands are Busy in the air Saying I, wish you were here I, wish you were I, wish you were here I, wish you were here I, wish you were Here Wish you were here ================================ Just a Phase I am bottled fizzy water and you are shaking me up You are a fingernail running down the chalkboard I thought I left in third grade Now my only consolation is that this could not last forever Even though you're singing and thinking How well you've got it made Who are you? When will you be through? Yeah, it's just a phase... It will be over soon Yeah, it's just a phase Yeah, it's just a phase Call it 'women's intuition' but I think I'm on to something here Temporaryism has been the black plague And the Jesus of our age I know that I sound opinionated, maybe biased And quite possibly jaded But sooner than later They'll be throwing quarters to you on the stage Who are you? When will you be through? Yeah, it's just a phase... It will be over soon Yeah, it's just a phase Yeah, it's just a phase and I am waiting for It to be over too ================================= 11am Seven am The garbage truck beeps as it backs up And I start my day thinking about what I've thrown away Could I push rewind? All the credits traverse signifying the end But I missed the best part Could we please go back to start? Forgive my indecision Then again, then again Then again, you're always first when no one's on your side But then again, then again Then again the day will come when I want off that ride Eleven am By now you would think that I would be up But my bedsheets shade the heat of choices I've made And what did I find? I never thought I could want someone so much 'Cause now you're not here and I'm knee deep in that old fear Forgive my indecision I am only a man Then again, then again Then again, you're always first when no one's on your side But then again, then again Then again the day will come when I want off that ride Twelve pm and my dusty telephone rings Heavy head up from my pillow, who could it be? I hope it's you... Then again, then again Then again, you're always first when no one's on your side But then again, then again again again... Then again the day has come and I want off that ride =========================================== Blood on the Ground I don't wanna talk to you anymore I'm afraid of what I might say I bite my tongue every time you come around 'Cause blood in my mouth beats Blood on the ground Hand over my heart I swear I've tried everything I could within all my power Two weeks and one hour I slaved And now I've got nothing to show Oh if only you'd grow taller than a brick wall From now on, gonna start holding my breath When you come around And you flex that fake grin 'Cause something inside me has said more than twice That breathing this air beats breathing you in, oh I don't wanna talk to you anymore I'm afraid of what I might say I bite my tongue every time you come around 'Cause blood in my mouth beats Blood on the ground Hand over my mouth, I'm earning the right to my silence In quiet discerning between ego and timing Good judgment is once again proving to me That it's still worth it's weight in gold From now on I'm gonna be so much more weary When you start to speak and my warm blood starts to boil Seeing you is like pulling teeth And hearing your voice is like chewing tin foil I don't wanna talk to you anymore I'm afraid of what I might say I bite my tongue every time you come around 'Cause blood in my mouth beats Blood on the ground High fives to better judgment By saying less today, I will gain more, gain more Low twos to you my, my fickle friend You, you, you who brought the art of silent war I don't wanna talk to you anymore I'm afraid of what I might say I bite my tongue every time you come around 'Cause blood in my mouth beats Blood on the ground |

You ooh Ooh ======================= Under My Umbrella When I close my eyes I can see for miles There's comfort in my dark seat And chaos in the aisles These eyes are not your eyes And these eyes are not the colour that You arid eyes might be No, I was not around When those eyes of yours decided so I refuse to kneel before the sights you choose to see When I close my eyes I remember why I smile Under my umbrella I'm an accomplished exile These eyes are not your eyes And these eyes are not the colour that You arid eyes might be No, I was not around When those eyes of yours decided so I refuse to kneel before the sights you choose to see If this is right I'd rather be wrong If this is sight I'd rather be blind ================================= Aqueous Transmission I'm floating down a river Oars freed from their holes long ago Lying face up on the floor of my vessel I marvel at the stars and feel my heart overflow Further down the river... Two weeks without my lover I'm in this boat alone Floating down a river named emotion Will I make it back to shore? Or drift into the unknown? Further down the river... I'm building an antenna Transmissions will be sent when I'm through Maybe we can meet again further down the river And share what we both discovered Then revel in the view Further down the river... |
