When the power grid crashes,
let's dance under the streetlights--
lit up only by the moon
and the tree sprites

When you kissed me, I lied.

I let you kiss me because I wanted someone to love me.  
I was selfish, I wanted to soothe my craving for attention, soft and kind love.

It’s because you’re warm and safe, I still do get the urge to trust you with love.
In fact you’re handsome while so insecure.

But I shouldn’t have kissed you, because I knew I didn’t want you but your aroma.
I chewed it and played with it to spare your feelings and to ebb my shame

but believe me, I’m happy to have made your acquaintance on that awful day that appeared on paper as perfect.
On the day when the last one I loved, introduced me to you

When you learn
how my life ends,

How can you look me--
in my eyes,
and say you'll still love me?

Curse or cure?

Call me what you will,
I'll always assume it's a typo.

When I swore
I'd never find another like you,

you proudly announced
that's it was a good thing...

so I tried my best to respond
like my world wasn't falling apart.

A thousand feet
All below mine
Nothing to lose

Use my mind
Before I start to.
Before I go to waste

My love and your peace all drowned
Out by the sounds of the ocean and I know
I won’t climb your hill alone
