inside my chest is a coalmine. you have the raddest eyes I’ve ever seen & you hair smells like rain. I want to call you on the telephone & tell you a secret about your freckles. I wanna call you shakedown. I wanna call you shotgun. do you want to make a movie? I got this camera, see, & a backyard like forever, & when it snows it’s like the whole world is one giant pickup line. my body in a wooden box & you just like holes for breathing. if I’m lying my neck is a bird. free. the truth is skin & skin. your red and grey beanies. a stick of dynamite between my teeth.

You're okay now, I suppose
You're not pulled by the rope
I'm pulled by the pull on my throat
I'm pulled by the rope
I swing from the trees into the *****
Hold my head high, just by the tip of my toes
And he lies, he lies so sweet that I choke

Dancing slowly, I feel you there
Close to my heart, where you have always been
A thousand times your voice has spoken
Hidden dreams in the center of my soul

I have searched the faces of others with no hope
And now I can see it is you I have waited for
Wanting you here, touching my life
Safe in your arms, I am home at last.

I need you now, I surrender at last
Hold out your hands for my tormented past
You are the light that shines brightly for me
A beacon in the night, you have set me free.

I love new love when its new.

Its not that easy for me, why don't you tell me who you were expecting to come tonight.
And if I were not myself than I could be who you want me to be;
but first, you tell me who you were expecting tonight.

Do you still remember that day?

The day that we met, walking around sears, holding hands?

Do you still remember that night?

The cool air, how I kissed your cheek, after making love on your trampoline?

Do you still remember that kiss?

Our first?

Our last?
