You ask me to dance and I accept but as we move across the floor I see the ghosts of who we once were dancing just above us ghosts of us circling the who we once were when we used to dance boldly carelessly effortlessly when we glided and glided heads held back laughing out loud for all the world to see without ghosts gliding reminding of who we used to be
I’m stuck in a corner in Paris Desperately dialling home to someone who might answer at this late hour, caller unknown I’m desperately dialling I’m desperately dying I’m stuck in a corner in Paris totally alone desperately clinging to life on my own
Here’s what I will do I’ll pretend I didn’t hear you I’ll raise the the stakes by two stack the odds in favour of you and still pretend I didn’t hear you Tell me who the **** else would do that for you?
Do you remember when we didn’t care when we said we would face life head on when we laughed at pain when we didn’t explain when we picked up the pieces without complain when we liked our life without looking for fame
Sometimes I do wonder Who you are Where You are Imagine if we could just meet for a beat I think our flesh would refresh Our minds And leave our many doubts Behind
I will lay myself down now Although I am scared I will lay myself down now So you can be heard I will lay myself down now Our souls jointly bared I will lay myself down now Today we are paired
The day fell away from us glistened slightly before decent Into a murky blue night Lit by the not too distant lights of a city that tempted strange delights We held firm In our murky blue light Far away From the city that tempted us each and every night
the dark skies and gloom you say are in front of you look like fairy tales and sunny skies to me so put your happy hat on jump outside capture a cloud and if you can’t just put your happy hat on anyway in case I am right and you are wrong
This is probably The best that I can be yes, this is probably it for me I would like to offer more and more and more even up the score but in all honestly this is probably The best that that I can be
This my little one is just life showing its teeth I can’t help you that would be defeat this my little one you must face all alone at least until the next time you get home
and then out of nowhere he said I like the thought of loving you forever and I liked the thought of that too maybe someday I might like that thought enough to make it just a little bit true.
it was late it was a good time just as I was leaving guess what I found someone who looked just like you staring out from the bottom of my bottle well …. that ain’t right.
I miss you god, here it is. now, at last it’s been said out loud no words no rhymes can describe how much I miss you or who I am without you or the fact that I miss you here it is out loud at last I miss you now it’s said.
There is nothing bad between us now all the bad has been spilled from us upon this floor gathered up and flown away by birds of prey leaving us lightheaded and wanting neigh
Where do you go when you leave me? to a land of clear and clarity is that honestly so much better that sitting here totally confused and cluttered with me?
I want to say you got the best of me but I think we both know there wasn’t much best left so instead you got what was left of me and somehow that was enough.
I remember that deep New Jersey December snow my burden was too heavy to carry I tried to lay it down as we trudged thru the snow pick up your feet you said we have a long way to go .
Somewhere way above who I set out to be unintentionally I became me No one I set out to be or honestly am proud to be genuinely stuck with me wake up everyday with me tried more than once to lose me annoyingly still wake up with me constantly critical of me randomly amused by me desperately abused by me always trying unsuccessfully to eventually get the point of me.
there is nowhere you will ever go no depth no height no valley no peak no desert no sea no joy no sorrow there is nowhere you will ever go no abyss deep enough for me not to find you and carry you home again .
