nothing and everything

leaving like a saint - still, clouds follow you

I'm sorry I'm late
I was held up by my dreams again
Succumbed to this subconscious trend
Surrender and you'll comprend why I depend on
Memories for melodies
And sympathy for symphanies
The dramatist turned lyricist
Is it right that I should part with this when

Every dream I've seen and sung would come undone
And the light inside my eyes would die away
Are you so ashamed of everything that I've become
That you'd kill the thrill that fills me from day to day

I'm sorry I'm late
I was prisoner to my sheets again
I traded the ground for clouds again
Surrender and your wounds will mend when you transcend to
A better time, a better place
A better smile upon your face
To exit this is short of bliss
I know I shouldn't part with this because

Every dream I've seen and sung would come undone
And the light inside my eyes would die away
Are you so ashamed of everything that I've become
That you'd kill the thrill that fills me from day to day

Look inside my eyes and try to find the light, the life designed
Inside my dreams - you see it means the world to me and everything would
Fall apart and drain my heart if you don't take the time to start
Believe in me, let me be free, believe in me as I believe in you.

sun shines on my closed eyes-it all comes flooding back to me.
sometimes the simple things just seem to lose significance,
but rays from high remind my mind to find the beauty in
everything...everything that's ever come my way...

and i can't recall the last time that i cried...
sometimes i feel i'd give it all if just one single tear would fall
to cleanse myself of hopes that died
and disavow them all.

Take my hand...let's watch the sand as time slips away
Take my hand...let's run across the sand and make the most of today

You told me I could never be your closest friend...
That I could never be so bright as to take the place of the sun.
It's a task to which I'll tend...
When it comes to you, I'll be second to no one.

it can't touch you like this...
it can't tell you you're perfect..
i can dedicate my light to you, and you alone...
My everything.

Take my hand...let's watch the sand as time slips away
Take my hand...let's run across the sand and make the most of today

I'll be your sun...
I'll never set -
But if you ask me to,
Then I'll be the stars.
I'll tell the night
To cover us -
We'll never be alone again

Engage me
Make me feel alive
Don't fake this
I swear I'll leave...
I swear.

You forced the moment, and I smiled it away...
Fearful of potential loss, blind to the impending gain.
I forced the moment, and you smiled it away
Still, I can't leave...and I'm fully aware.


Wake me
End this sleepwalk from day to day
Apathy
One more iota between us, and I swear - I'll return to dream.

You forced the moment, and I smiled it away...
Fearful of potential loss while playing this pretentious game.
We forced the moment, and I smiled it away...
Still I can't leave, and I'm fully aware

That all we really had was a hope that something more was waiting (waiting)
Just beyond the reach of the hands we'd hold (the hand you held, the hand i held)
And all we really have is a hope that there's still something waiting (waiting)
But I've grown far too tired, and far too cold.

We forced the moment...
Now I'm throwing it away
With hopes that someone new will engage me...wake me (engage me, wake me)...
And all that was will fade.

Remember the first time I told you I love you -
It was raining hard, and you never heard.
You sneezed, and I had to say it over...
"I said I love you," I said...you didn't say a word -
Just held your hands to my shining eyes,
And I watched, as the rain ran through your fingers...
Held your hands to my shining eyes
And smiled, as you kissed me...

"If you die," you said, "so do I," you said...
And it starts the day you make the sign.
"Tell me I'm forever yours, and you're forever mine...
Forever mine."


"If you die," you said, "So do I," you said...
And it starts the day you cross that line.
"Swear I will always be yours, and you'll always be mine...
You will always be mine...
Always be mine."

Remember the last time I told you I love you -
It was warm and safe in our perfect world.
You yawned, and I had to say it over...
"I said I love you," I said...you didn't say a word
Just held your hands to your shining eyes,
And I watched, as the tears ran through your fingers...
Held your hands to your shining eyes,
And cried...

"If you die," you said, "so do I," you said...
But it ends the day you see how it is -
There is no always forever...just this...
Just this.

"If you die," you said, "so do I," you said,
But it ends the day you understand -
There is no if...just and.

There is no if...just and.

There is no if...

when you're silent
have you nothing to say, or too many thoughts to convey?
when you're quiet
know that i'm trying to find what's hiding in your mind.

when you're crying
do your tears meet a smile?

i miss you.

something new
