Today a girl told me
she had a dream about marrying me
I told her
there are two dreams there
not one

She said "I need a good man
but I can't find one anywhere"
I'd tell her where they hide
if I thought I'd see her there

Making a bed
of hopes and horizons
A place to lay down my head
when my sun stops arising

I wish there were something
won't be back past tonight
others don't smile like you
made me look twice
I'd give you the world
instead of a silent goodbye
but this won't last anyway
love is a lie

I don't go out of the house much anymore
If I do it's for work or food
or a walk with the dog
maybe through the woods
Just not for people
I've grown tired
of looking into their eyes
of seeing how they look at you
sizing you up
deciding what little box
to stuff you into
before moving on by
The eyes can tell you
in the space of a second or two
if a person's heart's in the right place
if they want something good for the world
or just for themselves
So I don't go out much anymore
I've learned that most others
just can't see past their own worlds

I look into your brown eyes
past your tight-lipped smile
and see a growing hardness
below the surface
You can't hide something
from someone who's already found it
You're just tired of being alone
and God knows I am too
but I'd rather sleep that way
than with you

If you're honest
you'll admit
you already have
everything you really need
and you've had it for a long while
Everything else
is just **** you desire
out of vanity
**** you've convinced yourself
to need
You know it
we all do
yet for some strange reason
we just can't get comfortable with the idea
that we can be happy
with so little
