Irate Watcher
Somewhere between all,

and most.
Benji James Jul 2017
I used to think I had the power
Thought I could have been her man of the hour
And how can I keep holding my head in my hands
Thinking where did what we had end
All I say doesn't seem to make sense
Unless you're a person who has been where I am
I used to feel like a soldier
I used to be her shoulder
I could weigh all the hate in my hands
But lately, I don't feel like much of a man
When all these little things are ripping at me
All the smallest things won't give me a break
Maybe I just need to get away
Not sure if I have what it takes
To catch the glass before it breaks
But I can't surrender to the mess
Even though it has me caught in chains
Soon I'll prove I can stand before who I am
Even though I couldn't bare this reflection before
You gotta love and believe in yourself
Before you can truly love somebody else.

VERSE ONE
This conversation is getting harder to maintain
When you're finding every excuse to push me away
And you say that's what you do
Girl, I wanna be the one for you

I don't want to give up

Even though you say I should

I just couldn't live that down

If I just walked out

I know you're hurting 

From past memories

Let me help you heal

Let me help you recover

I want to be there for one another

You're shy and awkward
But you're so cute
And there is so much more to you
We have a lot in common
You're the perfect piece
That fits me
But something in you
Won't give a chance to me

You got your point across
You push away everyone
Everyone that cares
You didn't want me
But the weakness in me
Won't give you up
That's why I'm looking at pictures of you
Don't leave me
Dreaming what could have been
Dreaming what could have been

Baby have a little hope
Hold a little faith
I don't ever want to walk away
I wanna be the one
Who looks you in the eyes
When we wake up
The one who kisses you goodnight
The shoulder you lean on
When you need to cry
The photo memories when you smile
I wanna be that guy
The one that sees you
Without your make up
The one you feel comfortable with the most
I wanna be that guy

You're shy and awkward
But you're so cute
And there is so much more to you
We have a lot in common
You're the perfect piece
That fits me
But something in you
Won't give a chance to me

You got your point across
You push away everyone
Everyone that cares
You didn't want me
But the weakness in me
Won't give you up
That's why I'm looking at pictures of you
Don't leave me
Dreaming what could have been
Dreaming what could have been

Yeah girl let me serenade you
With these songs
Open up let me into your heart
Tell me all the troubles on your mind
Let me make them mine
Let our lives be intertwined
Let your heart guide you way
Into my arms where you can stay
Where you can feel completely safe
Let me take you around the world
With me girl from London to L.A.
So long as I'm with you
That's all I wanna do
Be the one who falls for you
Yeah I'm in love with you

You're shy and awkward
But you're so cute
And there is so much more to you
We have a lot in common
You're the perfect piece
That fits me
But something in you
Won't give a chance to me

You got your point across
You push away everyone
Everyone that cares
You didn't want me
But the weakness in me
Won't give you up
That's why I'm looking at pictures of you
Oh Ashley,
Don't leave me
Dreaming what could have been
Dreaming what could have been

Breeze-Mist
The moon's outline is always crisper
And the stars seem to multiply
When I'm away from the city air
Beneath a clearer sky
And sometimes I don't notice
(I'm more worried about the bears)
But when I can let my guard slip
I never really want to leave there

I'm online, baby
I've sig(h)ned in
I've waited, honey
Where you been?

I've a LED-screen body
Icon lips
Silicon *******
Computer (c)hips

I'm your WiFi girl
I'm here to play
I'm your WiFi girl
I'll make your day
I'm your WiFi girl
You'd better pray
I'm your WiFi girl
Lead you astray


Watch me, baby
I'm just your type
I am lush and
I am ripe
Forget all the media hype

I can really turn you on
I was assembled
In Hong Kong
I will play you
Like a gong
Just click on me!
Just play along...

[chorus]

I will love you
Make you groan
I will iradiate your bones
I'm not YOURS
I'm just on loan
I'm not THERE.

You're all alone...

[chorus]
