not so clever

so you've got yourself into a mess and you're too proud to get yourself out of it

can you really call it your best, you gave it 80%, any less and your worthless

where did you go? I stopped listening.

Don't hold my heart over my head only to let it fall

if time is meant to erase it all, it won't be enough

so give me your best shot - i'll be the first to shoot you down

give it your best shot - i'll be the last to hit the ground

hiding places, crooked faces 

if this is a game, you're running the wrong race

if you speak it, i won't believe it

i'm not another mouse in your silly maze

where did you go? i'm not listening.

don't hold my heart over my head only to let it fall

if time is meant to erase it all, it won't be enough

so give it your best shot i'll be the first to shoot you down

give it your best shot i'll be the last to hit the ground

expression like glass

baby you were standing right in front of me

and as easy as it is for me to step up and say hello,

i can't find my feet so i stay alone

there you were standing right in front of me

but you were looking the other way

and i guess you couldn't hear me calling out your name

finally you turn, your eyes meet mine

my heart paces one beat at a time

but you weren't pleased

so i hang my head and sit tight

so paint the grass blue and call it the sky

because i'll be staring at the ground until the butterflies subside

so catch the wind and whisper sweet

and maybe then it will guide my feet gently back to where you are

thats the only place you're ever gonna find me

patience wears and tears - my eyes are glued

is this what i've bargained for? now i'm stuck on you

i watch you dance around words

yeah they're dancing you right out of my view

well i hope you find something to live for 

even if its not me

so paint the grass blue and call it the sky 

because i'll be staring at the ground until the butterflies subside

so catch the wind and whisper sweet

and maybe then it will guide my feet gently back to where you are

thats the only place i want you to find me 

its not like we've done anything wrong

but the silence was wasted for oh too long

and i can't keep waiting for you to find me

an expression like glass makes me breakable

expression like glass means i'm breakable

slow down

living in this world can be so cruel
and those rainy days can get you so blue
you sit and wait for another tomorrow
well i've been there before - you're not the first to feel hollow

listen when i say slow down
go a little bit easier on you
the truth is no one's got it all figured out
and everybody falls, just like you do
so take a break from all the sadness
life's so willing to throw your way
sooner or later you'll laugh about it
leave your heartache with yesterday

waiting for your smile
how impatient can i be?
cause i could sit here all night
just to see you look at me
longing for the dawn
to kiss my face like you once did
and laughing under stars along
skies that don't get tired of hearing our song
i know when i'm with you i can't go wrong

my senses rush
i'm second to none when i'm with you
two hearts are one
my butterflies
are lost in your eyes
shed tears the perfect size
i am your sunset
and your my sunrise

waiting for our chance to come
as moments pass us by
all we've got to lose is time
but time's only leaving us behind
as the past is recreated in my mind

state of mind

caught up in repeated questions
asking how
deciphering whats outside in, and inside out
whats the point in waiting for a turn around
when in the mean time my world is spinning upside down

i guess you've gotta say i had it coming
you've gotta say i had it coming

so i'm through
trying to make excuses this time
but oh, it all feels the same
can you give it a name?
tell me this has a name
or is it all just a state of mind?
is this all just a state of mind?

sun

the water is rising
and we're critisizing
through eyes cold as stone
when everythings broken
we stay frozen
and stare at the snow
seemingly bold, blame takes its toll
words freeze as they're exhaled
lost track of time spent wondering why
acceptance has failed

have you seen the sun
these gray skies and long goodbyes
leave memories undone
can we leave our fears behind?
and walk into the light?

leaves are falling and winters calling
we'll soon return home
but these endless road signs
brought closer through phone line
break up all we know
i'm running farther than the eye can see
all my unfinished prayers are yet to be

here i am, ready to let go
here i stand, let the sun make me whole

save

if you'd listen just a second longer
you might hear me say
i owe it all to you
i've never been so inclusive
about whats going on in my head
but i owe it all to you

fate never answered when i asked him what would go on
on that day when we learned, if we'd ever learn to move on

i'm just scared that you're not scared to let me go
and if i told you the truth
i'm kinda thinking you'd already know

i've got a feeling
like we're just trying way too hard
i'm tracing it back
tracing it back to when the pieces of you started coming apart
so here's to you, the one who don't forget at all
well you spoke too soon to tell

i'm just scared that
your not scared to let me go
and if i told you the truth
i'm kinda thinking you'd already know
i'm so scared that
you're not scared to let me go
but if i told you the truth
would it save you now?

old song! second chances :)

theres always something in the way
theres always something left to say
if i had a chance you know i would stay
if i had a choice i wouldn't be walking away

it just breaks, takes, everything
the inside of me is falling apart
we can make, fake, all of these truths
but your thoughts are the veins, the veins to my heart
with you i'm alive
with you i survive

theres always something left to heal
but most things never felt so real
if i had a chance i'd feel what you feel
if i had a choice i'd be turning back times wheel

how many times will i have to say
i miss the old days
how many times will i
have to cry because of you
but there's nothing that i can do
