where are you running to?
what are you running from?
why are you running?
are we yet to begin or are we all done?

i pretend that you're gone
just to get through my day

i pick the daisies from my lawn,
he forgets me, he forgets me not
just to get by, darling tell me this isn't the only way?

you don't really know me,
but i wish that you'd want to

you planted seeds,
but now it all just bleeds

no more daisies
no more poppies,
now all that’s left are weeds

one look from me, darling
and you signed the deed,
now I’m all that you need
and you’re all that I see

will you just let me know, love
when it's time to exceed? . . .

you don't really know me,
do you wish you never did?

one look from you,
now you wish that you hid

"no need to have it all worked out, love
you're just a kid!"
if my heart ever followed yours
would you want to get rid?

you don't really know me,
but i wish that you'd want to

you planted seeds,
but now it all just bleeds

no more daisies
no more poppies,
now all that’s left are weeds

one look from me, darling
and you signed the deed,
Now I’m all that you need
And you're all that i see

Will you just let me know, love
when it's time to exceed? . . .

"i'm writing a song!"
i wish i'd say to you,
and if i just said it
would you wish you never knew?

and ever since you touched me
my heart, it just grew

but now i really see you
and it's all so blue . . .

you don't really know me,
but i wish that you'd want to

you planted seeds,
but now it just bleeds

no more daisies
no more poppies,
now all that’s left are weeds

one look from me, darling
and you signed the deed,
now I’m all that you need
and you're all that I see

will you just let me know, love
when it's time to exceed? . . .

you used to call me
just to say sweet things.
my heart broke, but you made it feel free
I thought I opened yours, darling
but I see, one stroke & I made it flee

you helped me see
there’s more than just pain,
you made me believe
and now there’s just rain

I would take a bullet for you
Would you do the same?
I was just being myself
You made me feel insane . . .

you don't really know me,
but i wish that you'd want to

you planted seeds,
but now it just bleeds

no more daisies
no more poppies,
now all that’s left are weeds

one look from me, darling
and you signed the deed,
now I’m all that you need
and you're all that I see

will you just let me know, love
when it's time to exceed? . . .

you say i'm not the only one,
my eyebrows raise.
but you reassure me,
"we may happen we may not"
what am i to say?
sitting in my car with you here
on the tenth of may . . .

you say i will catch up soon,
love, you don't really know me
but you know i'm a sleuth.
i figure things out quick
and always on my own,
my heart may be sore
but let's save all the war . . .

you say i'm not the only one,
my eyebrows raise.
but you reassure me,
"we may happen we may not"
what am i to say?
sitting in my car with you here
on the tenth of may . . .

darling she looks like your next
heartache
but honey i can be your next
heart break

you say i'm not the only one,
my eyebrows raise.
but you reassure me,
"we may happen we may not"
what am i to say?
sitting in my car with you here
on the tenth of may . . .

"i don't want you getting jealous"
his green eyes say,
but now i find myself already
waiting in the lot
just to see who you're talking to, babe

[my heart may be grown
but it's also half-sewn . . .]

you say i'm not the only one,
my eyebrows raise.
but you reassure me,
"we may happen we may not"
what am i to say?
sitting in my car with you here
on the tenth of may . . .

it's probably nothing,
but you've poisoned the grass
now the wishes can't grow.
i don't mean to be crass
but i wish you wouldn't go.
I don’t want to be the shiny thing you just pass,
I want to be the one you make last . . .

you say i'm not the only one,
my eyebrows raise.
but you reassure me,
"we may happen we may not"
what am i to say?
sitting here in my car with you
on the tenth of may . . .

what am i to say?
sitting here in my car with you
on the tenth of may . . .

what am i to say?
sitting here in my car with you
on the tenth of may . . .

endless summer sky
full of color
full of clouds,
a sea of stars
while down below a stream of cars

streaks of lights, swirls of trees
and that warm summer breeze

i can still hear the music,
is it only me?
and i hope we'll never lose it.

days of sunshine
but nights of memories,
what if this? . . . what if that?
never really knowing,
if i could only go back . . .

i was always on the outside
of the jokes,
no matter what i said or how i said it
i'd never be one of your folks

your butterflies have left
me for her,
now i'm lonely, i'm lovesick
and they haven't found a cure

summer nights,
long drives
high tides and navy skies,
toes tangled in the tall grass
fireflies blinking and shimmering
like stained glass

days that would never end
and nights we could never forget,
texts i could never send
and words from my tongue i would never let . . .

i will always be on the outside
of the jokes,
no matter what i'll say or how i'll say it
i will never be one of your folks

i always have "too much" to say
yet never know what to say,
i always have it on my mind
yet never know how to say it

when will it be over . . .
my heart feels blue,
but no amount of dandelions
could make my wish come true . . .

always the alien
never the native,
when will i get to be the friend,
not the foe? . . .

love is not meant to be kept
but given without restraint,
i always give and give and give and give
but no one is willing to reciprocate.

the ones i pour my love out for
never really deserve it . . .
the pain adds up,
until i'm pouring from an empty cup.

i just want to love again
and to be loved once more . . .
once more and as the one again,
and nevermore the alien
