The Lake
.
Used to go in to nature
Trapping love in the summer breeze
living slowly Gripping the sun with a rake
Now the pool in my heart is frozen
And I never did learn how to skate
But it doesn't matter anyway
I'm on the wrong side of the lake
Oh wont you listen to a man who cant dance
drifted swiftly in traffic jams
I buried all my treasure
There was nothing to take
She's frozen love, as she left me
Out of whose womb came the ice
And the sudden frost of my peace
came down like melted snow
The waters hold all the truth
And the face of the deep is lost
No it doesn't matter now
I'm on the wrong side of faith
I’m frozen love as she left me
Fish out of water, fish out of lake.

I'm FALLING UP

At a stoplight in the middle of the night,
Stuck in traffic and I wonder if I should stay
The right is history and to my left the choice is right
But this seems a little bit too hard to figure out
And all the questions come running through my mind
will I see this another way?
The simple truth is i'm falling,
and I don't want to drag her through the way

Then she says, "Sit in front of me, turn around so you can see,
I'm all you'd ever want, all you'd ever need"
as i gentley rest my head on her shoulder
and I Come back into her world,
"you know I'm always yours she whispers"
as i hold her like a child
And she makes so much sense
when she says "don't throw this away"

Its hard to know whats real when it all seems wrong
But I promise you I'll find whats going on
I just need to follow the sun
before I'll know if I'll see this another way
The simple truth is I'm falling,
and I dont want it this way.

My love, she treads so lightly,
floating in her flower dress
Even though her words cut deep
I can't deny the truth in them
On the phone she talks a lot and me,
I listen hopelessly,
As i day dream what it could all be
And then I decide to give another random thought,
To remind her of the first time we sang out
Oh you always understood me,
and all the questions seem to go away in your arms
will I see this another way?
The simple truth is I'm falling up.

That's Not How It Is

I woke up in bed last night
when something came upon me
I was lying there alone
but I’ve never felt so full
Something’s changed inside of me
feels like im drowning
How can I know just how I feel
when I cant even trust me
This no love thing is quickly growing old
This isolation booth I’m in is dark and turning cold
I used to steal breaths away with just one little kiss
Me and the ladies, we were so in love back then
but that’s not how it is

But I’d catch moonlight in a bottle
if I could drink a toast to happiness
Fill my room with roses and toss you into the floor
I’d write your name in candy kisses
from here to new york
I have tossed and turned and rolled it in my world
Not knowing all the questions
make the answers hard to find
I think I’ve covered everything
but still there’s something wrong
I used to read love like a book
but that’s not how it is
this life changes the rules
without notices of change.

CAN’T GIVE UP

I don’t know how to sleep,
I forgot how to eat
But I hail to the command

and i dance to live again
I took my only chance

I ran away with pain
and all along i was wrong
All I ever wanted is just to know what’s up
But when I try to fake it, I always fuck it up

now i try to write words
that readers can relate
without the purfanity
you wont know my hate
The basement is haunted, my heart palpitates
I’m worried about something,
my karma of the day
It should be easy,
but it’s hard to give it up
The way it used to be
was just not happening enough
Crocodile tears, six-packs of beer

with the loonley room
your thoughts disapear
Denying, undenying
But no one knows I’m here

Forget Me Not

Another night you wait
You leave the light on at your door
You cross your heart across the bedroom floor
And through the window to your world
You can feel me holding you close on a chilly night
And you know I'm waiting
You taste the words of my soul

When our eyes connect, we both know what this is
I will be your keeper and You possess the key
Forget me not, Cause you belong to me
I will be your shadow When you walk away
I will be there when you cant find the way.

A thousand life times long ago
I need the promise she wont let go
And so I come for you tonight
And we live again
Before we lose each other words
I climb a stairway to the open sky
I will be a frozen dream When you walk away
I will follow you Until my dying day

When I touch you
You will be touched by love
I climb the stairway to your world
You can feel me there
And you know I'm waiting

Happy Days in LOVE

Happiness comes when most unexpected
When nothing and no one seems true
So many promises broken
But I feel certain of you
Certain as night and day
You keep my ambitions alive
Though you don't have to stay
If you go I can never survive

The perfect love
is in my mind
i thought it will probably never exist
But you are as close as it gets
and I won't resist
The perfect love
Has never proven to be
But you are as close as it gets
when you're close to me

Out on our own in a loonley world
We chase any dream, any star
Nothing can harm us, we are immortal together
Innocent fools cant take us apart
Sometimes our confidence dies
But I won't mind at all
I see my dreams coming true in your eyes .


whisper to me
.
Look at me twice with your devil eyes
Promise me everything except a blue night
Shudder like ice in cut crystal glass
Melt in snow with crazy past
And whisper, whisper death..

Mysterious to a lie with lingering breath
Walking fingers sleep while the hungry is left
Phone chimes ringing like an empty voice
A distant smile lost, her lips are soft and moist
With whispers, whispers love..

And whisper in a rhythm your lies
Keep making me fly
Hurt me with the promise
Whisper like cold winds in summer nights
Save heaven for lovers, leave me alone
With your whispers, whispers im gone.
