there's no combination of words i could put on the back of a postcard
no song that i could ing but i can try for your heart
our dreams, and they are made out of real things
like a shoebox of photographs with sepia toned loving
love is the answer at least for most of the questions in my heart
why are we here? and where do we go? and how come it's so hard ( Read more... )

i wanted it so bad making all the props
sitting on my swing giving all i've got
but when they dim the lights
forgetting my stage fright
i find that little smile
cause i've got you and you've got me
i've got you and you've got me
i light this cigarette acting with regret
saying all my lines
pretending things are fine
but when the curtains close
everybody knows ( Read more... )

if you find yourself here on my side of town
i'd pray that you'd come to my door
talk to me like you don't know whatwe ever fought about
cause i don't remember anymore
i just know that he warms my heart
and knows where all my imperfections are
and he said that i was the brightest little firefly in his jar
and i just know that he warms my heart
and knows ( Read more... )

if i knew the way i'd go back home
the countryside has changed so much i'd surely end up lost
half remembered names and faces so far in the past
on the other side of the bridges that we burned once they were crossed
tell me where, where does a fool go when there's no one left to listen
to a story without meaning that nobody wants to hear
tell me ( Read more... )

memories light the corners of my mind
misty water colored memories
of the way we were
scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
smiles we gave to one another
for the way we were
can it be that it was all so simple then
or has time rewritten every line
if we had the chance to do it all again
tell me would we, could we
memories may be beautiful ( Read more... )

don't know why i'm still afraid
if you weren't real i would make you up
now i wish that i could follow through
i know that your love is true
and deep
as the sea
but right now
everything you want is wrong
and right now
all your dreams are waking up
and right now
i wish i could follow you
to the shores of freedom
where no one lives.
remember when we first met
and ( Read more... )

digging a hole
and the walls are caving in
behind me air's getting thin
but i'm trying
i'm breathing in
come find me...
it hasn't felt like this before
it hasn't felt like home before you
and i know its easy to say
but its harder to feel
this way...
and i miss you more than i should
than i thought i could
can't get my mind off of you
i know you're scared
that i' ( Read more... )

he took a step, but then felt tired.
he said, i'll rest a little while.
but when he tried to walk again,
he wasn't a child.
and all the people hurried fast,
real fast,
and no one ever smiled...

why do people fall in love?
don't we know love is full of dangers?
letting loose our foolish hearts
in this world full of perfect strangers
maybe this time you will find
the moon will treat you kinder
yes i'm sure that i recall
thats the reason people fall...
love is needing to belong
right our wrong, when you feel the fire
love is living in mid-air
young and ( Read more... )

fall back into the snow
sink deep
bury all the troubles that you keep
follow close to the places your heart needs
just for a little while just for a little while
you'll be free
you'll be free
child i can tell by the look on your face
you don't think you belong
you don't think you belong in this place
promise to come back
promise to come back where its safe ( Read more... )
