If people were houses

She would be one bursting with sunlight
each of her windows, elegant
shutters with wooden, carved  roses
sweet chimneys of burgundy brick

If she was a house
she would surely be
that boy's home.

Tell me how to form a smile
my body's breaking down
Everything I have loved to love
is too far to reach my arms

everything I've known
everything I've  loved
goes right  back to you

Tell me how to keep on walking
even without bones
I never would have thought
an end could feel like this

Teach me how to enravel time
to bring it back to spring

Tell me how to loose feeling
before I burn my skin

Admitting that I've fallen for you.
I am a closed-off coward

At least you're here, for now
But once you have fled
like everyone else

The meteor scar in my heart
will be larger than my world

And will be nothing but a scab
to yours.

Numb tongues
Pouring hearts
I'd say I'm leaving but my feet can't start

Holy water
Drowning dry
I'd produce an ocean but I just can't cry

Lover, Lover
Leave me here
And if I'm sad enough I will disappear

Hidden ropes*
Now cut me free
I'm a trailing kite so  leave me be
