i was yours

"he holds me in his big arms"

you were mine

"it's you, it's you, it's all for you"

snow-flaked car windows

"everything i do"

two hearts blossoming like wildflowers

"heaven is a place on earth with you"

growing growing growing

"tell me all the things you want to do"

fear interrupted by love

"your lips, my lips, apocalypse"

two hearts accelerate as one

"drunk and i am seeing stars"

sundays were made for you and i

"they say that world was built for two"

vigilant firsts

"if only i could"

sunsets and wordless conversations

"i'd make a deal with god"

we threw ourselves into each others arms

"i'd get him to swap our places"

fearlessly . . . unconditionally . . . blindly . . .

"i'd be running up that road"

you fell

"i'd be running up that hill"

down . . .down . . .down . . .

"with no problems"

i came tumbling after you

"it's you and me . . ."

not knowing where we were heading

"you don't want to hurt me"

you descended into the dark leaving me without a light to find you

"let's see how deep the bullet lies"

i reach and reach and reach out into the oblivion

"unaware, i'm tearing you asunder"

is it me, is it you?

"it's you and me . . ."

it's you you tell me

"tell me we both matter . . ."

if only i could redo everything

"if only i could"

october

"i'd make a deal with god"

"could you come see me? . . .please . . ."

"i'd get him to swap our places"

"i'll think about it"

"tell me we both matter, don't we? . . ."

i hope, i wait, i wish, i long

"come out and haunt me"

walk past the rain-pricked window

"i know you want me"

the brown brick corner turned red

"come out and haunt me"

i face the lot

"sharing all your secrets with each other"

the white car, lonesome again

"since you were kids"

i shut my eyes . . .blink . . .hope i'm just not seeing things . . .that deep-ocean blue van.

"tell me why"

is it me? is it you?

"you've been locked in here forever"

is it me?

"and you just can't say goodbye"

"no . . ."

"oh meet me in the woods tonight"

you bend

"you . . . it's you and me . . ."

i bend

"i surrender you got my love serious"

you break

"it's you and me . . ."

i break

"you won't be unhappy"

down down down we go . . .

"unaware, i'm tearing you asunder"

31st rain washing red rubies down the storm drain

"do you want to feel how it feels?"

crimson paint bleeding onto the floormat

"let's exchange the experience"

you fall until you find yourself

"come on darling . . ."

darling, you used to call me

"let me steal this moment from you now"

what have we done?

"when you're all alone"

to us?

"i'll reach for you"

what have we done?

"when you're feelin' low"

to us?

"i'll be there too"
