How can we make love yet we haven't made peace?
How can I feel your heartbeat without leaning in for a kiss?
How will the bicycle of conversation be ridden
When you act like mere parting your lips is forbidden?
How will we profit from this affair when we cannot break-even
How can you ask me to get over faults without being forgiven?
Have you ever had a serene night since we last met
It hasn't been easy on me,could be a similar effect on you I bet
How can we stop the arguments and the fighting
When we still got lots of skeletons in our closets hiding?
How do you make it through the day
Knowing you're too busy to make out?
You force me out in the night and I obey
Claiming you don't want to get caught
At 21 when the Hell will you exude some pride
In having me as yours without having to hide?
You say you love me more than words can explain
Wondering why I don't believe you and sounding so plain
How dare you say we are tailor-made for each other
When all you do is expand the little rift twixt us further?
How do you feel while convincing me that you care
Well aware that you're always away and never there?
How do you do it? Lie and believe your lies are true?
Where do you get courage to smile midst all your putting me through?

How many ppl
My age would rather
Jump than swim
How many ppl
How many backdoor deals
Does it take
To rip apart the fabric
Of your society
How many ppl my age
Are fiscally waterboarded
Would rather be boarded up
Than on the outside
Watching everyone get bled dry

He met a girl down in a bar,
She had eyes like a hurricane.
Lost within the winds of her smile,
He was spinning like a weathervane.

He said,
"Girl there's guna be rain,
So we had better take cover."
She said,
"Now boy don't be insane,
I'm no sunshine lover."

Now they stand together
Drenched to the bone,
Her lips taste like summer,

An oasis alone in the cold.
