Just for tonight, lie here with me,
I know I've been reckless, 
Dancing on tables and crying on bathroom floors,
Please forgive me, I've been looking so hard for you,
So long I've been waiting for you,
So wait for me, won't you please?

Hit the floor one more time, 
Harder this time than the next,
The ceilings are spinning again,
Nothing is what it seems, 
I'm grasping onto you like running water,
You're slipping.

I remember yesterday, 
As vividly as the window looking out over the rainy streets,
Disappearing memories fade rapidly,
Into a window sill kiss on the forehead,
Drowsy eyes, I'm content in your hold,
But please, just for tonight, please don't leave me.

Only under the stars, with only the moon to listen,
So far from everything we know,
Yellow memories lie beneath green eyes,
Three words rest upon my tongue,
Bubbling up before my lips,
They pour over the edge, as you lie with me here tonight.

And even if it's only for a night,
Love me back, hold me here,
Please don't leave me tonight,
I  need you here by my side,
And if forever's too much to ask,
Well, please just stay with me tonight.

come home.

it's sad when someone you know,
becomes someone you knew.

let me go home

im losing the feeling of feeling unique
did you forget I was even alive?

I walked barefoot where the water drowns the sand,
with you no longer here to hold my hand,
I let go.


I let go.
I let go.
I let go.
I let go.

Flightless

simplicities


I like you better through a telescope,
far enough away.

"you do not see yourself clearly,
you are far from ordinary."
-edward cullen
there is no greater feeling than to love and be loved

rEVOLution

when you look into those eyes,
you'll see they're full of lullabies and good-byes

i'm not broke,
i'm just a broken-hearted man

if you're not living on the edge,
then you're taking up too much room

Small Town

I don't have any fight left in me,
Not enough oxygen to breathe,
I look straight through everyone around,
Thinking "How could it get so bad in one small town?"

I've lost the ability to see through these tired eyes of mine,
I trace the broken promises out line by line,
Confused and in a daze,
How things could get this way?

I search until I find the escape route, 
The shallow little hole beneath this town, that holds the only way out
The easiest thing is to leave without feeling in your heart,
The numbness wears off quite quietly, and I find it more difficult to part,

"To part from what?" I ask myself for years,
Quite harsh words ring in my ears,
"From pain, from sorrow, from change, from tomorrow,"
I escape quickly over the hill on the far side of town,
Before I second-think and turn around.




Never Think



You'll learn to hate me 
But still call me baby 
Oh, love 
So call me by my name 

And save your soul 
Save your soul 
Before you're too far gone 
Before nothing can be done

Wishing Waiting




Missing someone gets easier every day 
because even though it's one day further from the last time you saw each other, 
it's one day closer to the next time you will. 

For everything you have missed, 
you have gained something else, 
and for everything you gain, 
you lose something else.


'Cause if one day you wake up and find you're missing me
and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be,
Thinking 
maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And 
you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street
So 
I'm not moving, I'm not moving.

It's Alright




Fall, 
go on and fall apart, 
Fall into these arms,
And I'll catch you, 
Every time.


You have to take the good with the bad,
Smile when you're sad,
Love what you've got and always remember what you had,
Always forgive, but never forget,
Learn from your mistakes, but never regret,
People change. 
And things go wrong.
But always remember:Life goes on




You will always be my favorite shade of blue.

Lessons Learned


Be loved, but never love.
Attatch, but never combine. 
Trip but never fall. 
To be broken is better than shattered. 
Tell him of your strength, but never of your past. 
Be trustworthy, but never trust. 
Be cracked but never open.
