6 am alarm sounds i'm roused from bed
throw cold water in my face to clear my head
put on a tee and jeans in the dark
and step downstairs and drive to a place that only you'd know where
i think for a while
i pick up the phone dial your area code and some more tones
and i

it's like i'm walkin on gravel
learn to deal with the rocks in my shoes
and i'm swimmin in an ocean
learn to handle the sand in my swimsuit
you're walkin on gravel
learn to deal with the rocks in your shoes
and you're swimmin in an ocean
you learn to handle the sand i

wanna know what's on your... wanna know what you mind...
wonder what you look for... wonder what you haven't seen before.
wanna know you're on my... wanna know what you hide inside...
wonder what you rock to... wonder what you haven't heard before.
and on the outside, it's all ab

You're so sly - your tongue a glock, it's full of rockets & those murderous eyes, deep inside their sockets.
the moments when I love you most, you use me as your scratching post
I am stupid.

You're a troublemaker, bubble breaker.

I'll keep blowing bubbles & you'll kee

I feel
someone following me
getting closer
close enough

I recognize the delicate whisper as the breath escapes your lips

Why
Are you still
Chasing me?

I can almost taste the sweetness of your candy-coated mouth

Close enough

Come closer, innocent<

wading through puddles of ex-lovers tears & mine
thumbing through letters penned by writers i never fully understood
waiting for opportunity's knock, or a doorbell at the very least
for lack of a better line, i'll let her tell me her sign

you're just a hop, skip, a jump &am

four years later i still
watch you sleeping
dreaming of a place faraway that you could call home
not all that you'd hoped for
such disappointment
but i hope you plan to stick with me no matter what

i forgot to leave a breadcrumb trail
to show the way to the beginnin

take a drive with me
to my place, your place
anyplace is fine for you and me
to share what's in my head, what's in my bed
my everything

take a bite of me
and tell me, do you like the taste?
chew it at a slow pace
so you don't waste it

or we could always ju

never in my life have i been so afraid
afraid i might lose you to another man
like as if your no. 1 fan were to ditch you for another band
like as if mr. miagi gave up on daniel-san

why can't we just talk about this
i'm sure we can figure it out

like calcium, vitamin

Face down in my pillow - oh what does it know?
I can't see past the stars around my ceiling fan
I lie in bed & dream of the days we go puddle jumping

Esteemed & important, I've become to you
You bring me good reason to leave my waterbed
I'm crazy fine, & these a

Close your eyes & see.
Let go - you'll be free.
Lose yourself in me.
Trust & you'll believe.

Trip with me, sleep with me, ride with me.
Trip with me, fly with me
Trust me.

Lost

Straighten my arms to feel it,
straighten my back to feel it,

I've been looking for a lover
She's not like you; she's not my mother
Day & night I'm thinking of her
I keep it on the downlow so you won't discover

I'm not happy
I've been lying to you
All these things I've
Been meaning to tell you

but I'm scared - afraid

we're inside the cab parking
within sight of nothing
hopefully not scaring you

we're on side A playing
with insight on nothing
probably not fazing you

circumspect, you don't know what to expect out here
you don't know how long your stash will last
on your guar

i know i told you
if you'd go and leave me alone
i would die
but now you're gone and i'm standing
strumming and singing
i'm still alive
i know i've sung this same sad song before
a million times
can't decide if things took a turn
for the worse or the better

I left it open - my heart, on the floor.
I kept its chambers free for you - all four.
I synchronized my pulse so that every beat follows yours.
You disregarded my stares while I wished for more.

You never looked my way.

I left it open - my heart, on the floor.
I kept

in the back of the dairy queen
by the ice machine
is where i dream of seeing you again
and when i step outside
and look up at the night sky
i think about the last time i saw the stars in your eyes
in the back of the dairy queen
by the ice machine
is where i dream.

give me an honest answer, please
how much longer will you wait
for me to make up my mind
when a simple choice is all it'd take?
i could tell you why i hesitate
it's all because way too many things could change

today's too late
in two days tomorrow will be yesterday<

what were you wondering?
something that i said last night, starting to sound right
until you see some hands available to lend
don't count your friends
and if you haven't noticed lately
you've been the only one to hear yourself complain
when was the last time
that you
