Why do I always resort to
talking to people?
Maybe I just like company?
Who knows?
A newly-found friendship is just around the bend.

There is no ocean in this world that could contain all of my feelings. No even the sky above has the capacity to hold them. That's why it rains outside just like the salty drops that slide down my cheek.

I've tried burning the house down,
bringing the dogs in and
snatching up every piece of furniture you have.
Now tell me, sir, why do you refuse to leave?

What troubles you so?
I really should know.
Don't keep it in.
Give me a grin.
I'm here to hear.
There's nothing to fear.
All I want to do
is heal you.

My brow is hardened
from the evil in this world
but nothing can wipe
the smile off of my face
from the good.

Win me over with words.

I am trying to find myself
amongst the ashes and shattered pieces
of my soul.

Love can be spoken
in every diverse language.

One teary-eyed girl*
                             One concerned man
One fairytale
                            One lost cause
One true love
                          **One of those other girls

I despise
that look
in your eyes.

People are beautiful.

What if
the whole world
*died?

Chorus
You can't deny
the urge to want to fly
away from time and space
as though you won't feel out of place
and though there may be times you want
to hide away and cry
your feelings of me never seem to die
never seem to die.

Verse
Put me in a chokehold
or maybe in a trance
but I will always be able to see
your quick but subtle glance.
Shoot me with an arrow.
Pierce me with a *****
and even that won't keep
me from missing you.

2nd Verse**
Capture my attention
or on second thought maybe not
and if I try to get yours
I might as well get shot.
Curiosity killed the cat.
That's what they always say.
It sure does keep you and me
in deep dismay.

I try to keep my head on straight.
The topics run, but things just don't relate.
It's not just me, but you also hesitate.
Please, don't let our chances be too late.

Zone, zone, zone some more,
what do I have to prove?
I always used to love him so
now just let me move.

One alone cannot hold up the world
but if we all use our strength together,
we can hold it up for generations to come.

Chorus
Just shout your name out loud;
I'll be right there
and if you don't know where I am
I'll run to you, I swear.
I need you more than a life-preserver
drowning in the Arctic Sea,
but one question more,
Would you run to me?

Verse
In the life that I lead
all I want is to succeed.
A's and B's
for my parents to be pleased
but no!
I know that you like me.
That we were always meant to be.
I open up my mind
hoping to somehow find
you in the crowd.

2nd Verse**
I know we have doubts
and mistakes, many more
but pause and think a bit
about what we're fighting for.
I'm sorry about what I said,
the big and the small,
and if you'd jump off a cliff
I would surely break your fall.

And if I happen to land in your arms
after I fall for your quirks and charms
I thank you first for doing me no harms.

But if you drop me, I must confess
I will love you a tiny bit less.
And if you drop me on a bed,
I might be entirely and mildly mislead
to do things before I don't think with my head.

Leave your candle burning for me if I wander
for I would do the same for you if you ever decided to return.

I long to know
Your plans for me.
