Tried to paint you a picture
The colors were all wrong
Black and white didn't fit you
And all along

You were shaded with patience
Your strokes of everything
That I need just to make it,
But I can see

Lord knows I failed you time and again,
But you and me are alright

We won't say our goodbyes
You know its better that way
We wont break, we wont die
Its just a moment of change

All we are, all we are
Is everything that's right
All we need, all we need
A lover's alibi, Yeah.

I walked a minute in your shoes
They never would have fit
I figured there's nothing to lose
I need to get

Some perspective on these words
Before I write them down
You're an island and my ship
Has run aground

Lord knows I failed you time and again,
But you and me are alright, Yeah

We won't say our goodbyes
You know its better that way
We wont break, we wont die
Its just a moment of change

All we are, all we are
Is everything that's right
All we need, all we need
A lover's alibi

Every single day that I can breathe
You changed my philosophy
I'm never gonna let you pass me by

So don't say your goodbyes
You know it's better that way
We wont break, we wont die
Its just a moment of change
Yeah, ooh, ooh.

So don't say your goodbyes
You know it's better that way
We wont break, we wont die
Its just a moment of change

All we are, all we are
Is everything that's right
All we need, all we need
A lover's alibi, yeah, ooh, ooh.

So dont say your goodbyes
You know it's better...
We wont break, we wont die

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-whoa, ahh, ahh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Won't die, wont die this time
Won't die, won't die, oh....)

I wish that I could write you something that would say
I've never felt this way about anyone else

That I could see you and me clasping each others hands
and making plans for the long run

Oh dear boy
wont you be my man
wont you be my man
wont you be?

And so when I ask you to be mine
I mean for all time, I do, do you?

That I want to wake every morning entwined
with your legs and arms and lips, I wouldn't mind

Oh dear boy
wont you be my man
wont you be my man
wont you be?

Can we pretend we're in ireland
on the 29th of february

So that I could go down on one knee
and ask you my sweet boy to marry me

Please dear boy
wont you be my man
wont you be my man
wont you be?

Wont you please
marry me...

I toss and turn and inside i burn
sleep wont come
i keep waiting so frustrating
sleep wont come
still i lay in the darkened grey
sleep wont come

come to me
sweet serenity
take these thoughts away from me

i flip and flop my mind wont stop
sleep wont come
i close my eyes but its no surprise
sleep wont come
i lay so still against my will
sleep wont come

come to me
sweet serenity
take my consciousness away from me

You asked me why we couldnt have met ten years sooner,
and asking if maybe you should go,
but I say no matter what I know,
I'll love someone I cant possibly be with,
you virtually hold me tight and tell me,
"it's alright"
I wont let go and I want you to know,
even if I am naive,
I dont want you to leave,
I want another text saying, "Its ok"
it will be ok even if we dont want it to be,
I danced with fire and I kissed the ice,
I'll say it thrice,
I love you,
I love you,
I love you,
but it wont change the miles,
and it wont change the mean whiles,
just dont let go and everything will be ok I swear,
because as a sweater I'll wear,
your messages and your love,
and be comfortable as the sunrise begins to show its face,
on doomsday

You dont understand Chris
You are the best thing for me
You are a collection of dusty white illusions, desires, love on window panes
the color and tinge of which I am so excitable about
putting up in our new home
your face inspires me to write
like the angels
your face inspires me to be free
the compassion,
if only you knew less,
and more of how much it makes me
sad
because you relinquish the love in my heart
by
folding it half in half, half in half
till there is nothing for the world to be seen
reverted back to where I've been
touched by an untouch
closed
because all of the love that I've known
is not tangible
never tangible enough

I've waited months
I've waited near a year

because how can someone own up to all my dreams
materialize them as all I see
need me
but not enough to enter into security
the commitment of short chance
the security of knowing nothing will always last
and that doesnt make me seem bitter
feel bitter
in the upturned corners of my heart
its that something
something keeps you from rolling into me
something to conceal yourself from me
its not what you want
its not what you feel

if that's the case then why cant I leave?
why cant I walk my spirit out of your life
without you noticing every detail
without some sadness in my wake?
because you want to brush your angelic knuckles across my streaming skin
because you need my mind to guide you, to get inside you
because you dont know
but you like it when you touch me
you talk to me like a concerned parent in your sleep
when I'm fine
quiet, assuming of the worst
because this would, and was the very first
that he's all that he projected himself to be
he loves, and so tenderly, so carefully, so fully
so it makes sense
that he wont give of himself to an item that includes me
and its not me,
you say honestly
but you cant say it isnt you
your perceptions
of what are boundaries
and zipties
isnt true
I'm not like your women
I know what it means to love

I give you air, I give you breath
I give you laughter, and the wind
I give you earth, I give you security
I give you pools to soothe your ridgid mind, to let the heaviness sink and be left behind
a place to allways land, to always fall
EVen when you loose your precious mind
Always know I'd be there to closely follow behind
I give you understanding
I give you your genious
because I have enough of it to not take yours for mine
I know what it means to love
I know what it takes to love you
even if you dont know, its true

mixed up beautiful man
just silence yourself and lets walk away
hand in hand
because I wont take up half your bed
I wont make you build a second-life
from the lies you have to tell your parents on behalf of me
and I wont kick and scream when time comes for life to carry you away from me
and I wont put taxes on my body, because if its my land
you can have it freely
and I wont tell you one thing, then judge you based on another
I wont follow you around the house
I wont take your money
or make you pay my way
because you are darling to me, because both you and I are different from they
