unless I am feeling
deep inside
really feeling, really 'living'
I don't feel alive
it's a drug, need that 'fix'
need ............. YOU

until you, until 'us' -
now my heartbeat is strong
you're my fuel,
you're my fire
how is this wrong?

you're so calm, so collected
your feelings don't show
here I am, such a mess
so **** emotional

we were young, and wild, and free
all the cliches of what we were supposed to be
laughing at the world, clutching our beer
standing too close to the train, screaming, nobody hears

I wonder where you are today
what part of you remembers
our times together, our youth, our lives
so vulnerable, so tender

you bring some comfort, you don't even know
singing on stage at some random show
hearing the crowds' adoration, applause
not knowing then there was never a cause

Never a reason to be so alone
singing into that microphone
lights shining bright, darkness beyond
now it's gone silent, infinity yawns

We fade into obscurity

into my life you boldly came - all full of confidence
full of swagger, full of life, full of all those things
with you, life's anew, with you I can dance - (and I do)
so my words bubble up from a hidden well-spring
not realizing
that all I needed was you

I know you
because
like you, I was taught how to hide
how to keep all my hurt inside
how not to show fear when anger is near
I know you
and you know me too

ohhh the things I want to do with you
the thoughts that cross my mind
perhaps it would shock, ideas so blue
temptations await for us to find
I flirt with ideas, weighed against
reality of my bodies desire
nerves all exposed, left in suspence
just waiting for you to take me higher

I find I need this place,
this in-between world of words
to leave of myself a trace
to feel that I've been heard
a safety net of whispers
of yearnings so dear to my soul
too fragile these delicate feelings
so in this world they fall
dancing on winds of heartbreak
imaginary and real
I find I need this place
A place where I can feel

eyes draw me in, green with grey
then to the mouth, lips where I stay
hungry, soft, then firm, then yield
safe inside those arms, a shield
for the heart, his heart, beats with mine
his soul, his passion, his strength does shine

so much more to this man, flesh and bone
within his embrace, truly I'm home
