Through The Blue

Living through the ecstasy I'm falling slowly in a dream
Mirror images of you are calling softly through the blue
Waking the cathedral walls with telephones and siren calls
Simple towns and simple minds, heaven ain't that hard to find
And I'm not supposed to tell you this
So listen close to my punctured lips
I try so hard to stay away
But you just call me back (I shouldn't feel like that)
I know that I am all to blame
Misguided foolish love is all that I'm made of
Believe me when I say I'm trying to not feel anything for you
But we all know some things are easier said than done, and this is one
And I'm not supposed to tell you this
So listen close to my punctured lips
I try so hard to stay away
But you just call me back (I shouldn't feel like that)
I know that I am all to blame
Misguided foolish love is all that I'm made of
And if some day you feel the same
I'd take you as my own, you'd never be alone
But until then, this web I'll spin
And say I'm not in love - I swear I'm not in love.

The Idea Of 2

It seems I'm always waiting for something to appear
Turns out that my looking glass was just a mirror
And you always look like sunlight while I am just the moon
Dancing round your head like some forgotten tune
And bending over backwards to bring me to you
Oh no one ever tells you how your heart can be untrue, but
I guess this'll have to do
I'm always such a downer; I just can't get back up
Don't give a damn about the water in the cup, no
To tread upon this lightly is to fill with great morose
Always seems so far but really it's too close
With fists upon the posts insists I see the ghosts
And oxygen's the only thing I need the most, cause
Without it I'm bound to choke
I think I'm scared of death
But not itself - just how I'll go
Everything has an end
And this I know
If clocks would stop their ticking, you know I'd take my time
Breaking all the bridges on the county line
But it's linear in essence; there's no chance to redo
So pick your favorite poison and I'll choose mine too
We're drifting like two Indians in a canoe
I guess what I be saying is I'm not in love with you, but
Just the idea of 2
Just the idea of 2.

I see you walking down on the avenue
With your high top heels and your new updo
And the lights are shining bright on you
Yeah the lights are shining bright on you
But your just another girl with her daddy's dough
Another high class honey with the time to blow
And I don't care what you said to me
Cause it's all just a part of my history, and
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh like a memory fading my friend
A memory fading my friend
But oh girl
What do I care?
With all that you wear; with all that you wear
And oh girl
Why should I care?
It's an ugly affair; it's an ugly affair
Well you're scared of turning twenty so you pass the hat
And your nose is pointed up like an aristocrat
But I'm feeling not the least bit cute
Cause your lipstick's making you a mute
Betcha think you're pretty clever, betcha think you're sweet
You're filling in the book of love but it's incomplete
And you tear the pages you don't like
Yeah you salt the wound but I asked for ice
And baby oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh like a memory fading my friend
The memory fades in the end
But oh girl
What do I care?
With all that you wear; with all that you wear
And oh girl
Why should I care?
It's an ugly affair; it's an ugly affair.

Running Shoes

My oh my how time goes by
It seems like she's changed in the blink of an eye
Her laugh is warm and her smile is bright
But you're not going out tonight
Your palm's a sweaty mess
Your heart is in contest
Because you're losing it
She's never been so lovely
Losing it
You say "Is she thinking of me?"
Losing it
Cause all this time
I should have gone and made her mine
Captain Hook and Peter Pan
Will we ever find our Neverland?
Time is a race I'd rather lose
So darling trade your running shoes
For something more secure
A country western door
I think I'm losing it
You've looked more lovely
And losing it
Darling are you thinking of me?
And losing it
Cause all this time
I should have gone and made you mine
But time is just an alibi.

The Bird Path

Follow me down to the old dusty road
I don't quite know where it goes
We'll walk for hours amongst all the flowers
Magnolia, lily and rose
Some summer day when the sun's hanging low
When evening's air is so sweet
We'll go get lost at the acknowledged cost
Of the soles of the shoes on our feet
Oooooh
Nothing ever changes; nothing ever changes
Oooooh
Say you'll never change
Deep in the forest way down where the leaves
Grow big like in story books
We'll rediscover ourselves and each other
And curse about how long it took
Be careful when you go over the stream
If you don't want to get wet
Then walk real tight o'er the board on the right
And avoid the board on the left
Oooooh
Nothing ever changes; nothing ever changes
Oooooh
Say you'll never change
Do you think we could live forever underneath the willow tree?
It's been so long I can hardly remember that one look you gave to me
Take my hand and we'll walk on the waterfall like when we were
Kids enchanted by the summer, chasing down all the birds and after
All of this time I have found myself dreaming of
You in the soft summer glow
Beneath the wind chimes we'd laugh as the time flied
But that was so long ago
That was so long ago
But that was so long ago.

When I told you
My last love was through
I did not see this
Your eyes softly
Gazing at me
Waiting for a kiss
But even if you had my trust
I wouldn't let you in because
I don't want to fall in love
You're a sweet thing
You pull my heart strings
But I'm just not healed
All I need is
Time to sort out
Where to go from here
But even if you waited for
A thousand years or maybe more
I don't want to fall in love
I don't want to (how could I)
I don't want to (please don't make me)
I don't want to fall in love.

Hold On To Me

Summer days
I'm wondering if they'll stay
Considering going away to another house today
Winter nights
They're often filled with fright
The cold sure likes to bite, and it will hold on tight
So hold on tight to me
And when I was in a hole I fell down
Even farther than below the ground
I was missing all the warning signs
It all worked out and I see the sunshine now
Autumn breeze
You always escape me
Your heart is a fickle thing and I'd like to make it sing
Springtime blues
You almost made me lose
But I've got a hold of you and I'm settling in a mood
That won't change no time soon
And when I was in a hole I fell down
Even farther than below the ground
I was missing all the warning signs
It all worked out and I see the sunshine now
"Wasted days are coming"
You don't know what you're saying to me
I'm trying just to let it be, but it's clawing at me angrily
What good am I doing
Laying up here on my bed?
I'm going crazy in my head
And I'd rather get it over with and then be dead
Cause maybe then a little sleep will do me good instead
I'm just wasting all my time
I don't mind
And when I was in a hole I fell down
Even farther than below the ground
I was missing all the warning signs
It all worked out and I see the sunshine now.
