You came back to me
Rushed through my walls like a mind numbing sea
What defenses? Nothing’s delivered under false pretenses

Brown wind grazes a cheek
The summer heat is at its peak
Want rolls down my face
Need has put me in this place
The beautiful ferocity of Africa
Intoxicates me
But I wish with all my heart
That I was with you
in Boston on the sea


Go your own way
I’m falling in my love
It’s just another lonely day
But you’re better going your own way

You are always there for me
The moon waxes and wanes but I still hear your voice calling out to me
Washing over me like the smoothness on the rocks
Pulsating vibrating- I can feel your presence in the air
Because you fall I can live another day

I danced in the rain for you
I laughed until my angry, red heart turned blue
I burned my hand on your cold heart
Oh I know it’s cliché, but I loved you from the start
I hate myself for slipping into rime, but still
It’s you and only you I think about
Thoughts of reality drift by from time to time

See the mess I get into?
Just trying not to think of you

I breathed in the sharpest air and let out the softest cry
There’s nothing left to save
But there’s always something more to you and I
I always crave your bright eyes
They make the darkness dim
Even as I watch you stare at her
It’s me
I’m imagining touching your skin
Oh my- whatever happened to you?
What made you let go of you and I?

I tilted my head to the side
Tried not to realize
Forgetting you is the last thing I can bear to do
Pressing myself against him doesn’t compare to loving you

See the mess I get into?
Just trying not to think of you

I bit my lip and slipped into oblivion
The girl you loved could rise above it all
Now this boy that’s here gets to watch a stranger fall
Staring at a empty slate
Caucasian chalk circle’s drawing me out, sketching a piece of fate
This isn’t my life at all

I drowned in pain for you
I let myself go insane for you
Over a year I’ve wanted nothing, nothing, nothing else
Oh it’s cliché I know, but I loved you from the start
There’s something about the sound of a broken heart
Resounding even though we’re worlds apart
I always crave your bright eyes, and you hunger for my thirst
I’ve never dreamed a demise so dull

See the mess I get into?
Just trying not to think of you
And what the world has come to
