staring at an unmoving object, my head makes it leap and bounces around
to lay on the ground I'd listen to you
don't speak with your mouth but I hear it from you
dishonest and brilliant
breaking rules all for fun and I'm scorched in the sun with a man on the run
letting your guard down
staring at a wall, unsure of it's position
perception and depth fly past my eyes and I'm waiting for you to be the one in disguise
don't tease, you won't get what you want
a juvenile, a standardized woman
with her arm 'round your neck
stopping the moment I hear the early bird call
calling for me, oh please, set me free

leaving on a sunny morning
as the people arrive
I'm out of the drive

overwhelmed and under pressure
heels overlooking a fence on the border
behind an alibi

starting fresh for the thousandth time
how could this be life-changing?
continuing the search
mastering the art of restart
no one can hold you down
or let you fly,
better than I can, my lovely

just one! I promise I'll stop!
ruining lives one voice at a time
starving for a fun night
where did my mind go?
where did the sense go?
why did my love leave,
and now how can I show?

tip toes outside my door
sensing movement
a single breath, at best

I'll meet you on the other side
where the sun never rises
and the boys never cry
I'll be there at dusk to say
things you'll forget the next day

to a place where blue is the only color
and you're always ready for another
where drinks are spilled
and love is pills

missed and dismissed
they're getting too close
digging for kicks
and staring at an empty horizon
but I'm here and I'm calmed
by the snicker of your words
pull back on the blade
scare them away
and laugh at their trade
salty and sinister
another, I need ya
you remind me of something I've had
creating a better first meet
stand up with my hands on the ground

tightened with a bent car key
around the town where love don't grow
send me away with a shirt on my back
no bills left to pay cause I paid them away
start fresh, start over
beginning again with you seems new
and, my dear, we're growing older
the sounds emerge like a cricket at night
don't stumble, compose
don't stutter, don't fumble
away from the gray that is everyday
far from the drugs that cast me this way
left this town for another so sweet
I barely fit in these shoes on my feet
eager, not hungry
all that is good is plenty.

a one week wonder
                                    no glass left to break
                                    no storm left to pass
                                    no baggage to pack
to leave all the rest
and coming to rest
your head on my chest
          a day spend in doubt
          but a night full of drinks
          I'm better than you think
          and stronger than you thought
I'll see you around
when the next week comes
and we're alone again
we'll seal our confusion
with this lousy connection
