Heart in Hand
I held your hand underneath your coat
So no one else but you would ever know
That I fall apart when I'm not touching you-
My smile fades when you aren't in the room-
So if I held you one more time
And whispered, "Will you be mine?"
Could I change your mind?
If I held you one more time
and whispered, "Will you be mine?"
Could I change your mind?
Photographs could never really show
The space that slipped between us start to grow
With every kiss surrendered on my lips
And fights that swelled into awkward silences...
But if I held you one more time
And whispered, "Will you be mine?"
Could I change your mind?
If I held you one more time
and whispered, "Will you be mine?"
Would I change your mind?
Because I fell asleep with you,
and I woke up to a dream come true-
Don't you realize you saved my life
The night I called you mine?
I love you...
It's all that I can do-
I love you...
But it's all that I can do-
So if I held you one more time
And whispered, "Will you be mine?"
Could I change your mind?
If I held you one more time
and whispered, "Will you be mine?"
Could I change your mind?

Sex With Exes
Our past reads like a palindrome
In a dialect I speak, but can't recall
It's a scab I scratch with vitriol
A blow that begs to land so I can fall
But I'll try and rest my hot head
On your cold shoulder -
And I know you fell in love with him
The devil only swoons when angels sin
There's nothing that will ever come of it
When we break each puzzle piece to make it fit...
But I'll try and rest my hot head
On your cold shoulder -
But I'll try and rest my hot head
On your cold shoulder -
So blame me
Say I ruin everything
Blame me
Say I ruin everything
But when my name rolls off your tongue
Just savor it before it's gone-

Storms
I'm still entangled in your sad eyes-
They don't see much worth in all our lives
I've done the best that I could
To treat you how a man should
But you're not sleeping tonight
Until we finish up this fight
I used to hold on to you -
Now I hold my breath and wait
Until you get through
Raining indoors
I strolled in on your downpour
Baby, I can't talk to you -
I can't find you through the gloom
'cuz it's raining in our room...
I get so scared when you get quiet
I sense the swells in every silence
It's amazing what you can say
By simply turning away
You rile me into a riot
Because you never speak your mind
I used to confide in you
But now I swallow my own thoughts
To see me through
Raining indoors
I strolled in on your downpour
Baby, I can't talk to you -
I can't find you through the gloom
'cuz it's raining in our room...
We both lose in this fight
Trying to keep love alive
So let's just leave it behind
And keep the weather outside

Observations
She loves him like a cripple
Forced to lean against a crutch
With scant concealed resentment
While she tries in vein to walk without it
A brace against a broken heart
Never meant to mend
A salve she slathers on her skin to
Conceal a spreading infection
She waits until it all breaks down
and she leans until they reach the ground
Embraced the sound of his heart screaming out
She feels so cold -
She feels so cold-
He sacrificed their future
While he grieves over his past
He wastes their quiet moments
By lamenting they won't last
And now he picks apart their romance
Like a craven carrion
He plants his feet in concrete
Claiming he was born to run
He can't wait until it all breaks down
So he leans until they reach the ground
Embraced the sound of her heart screaming out
He feels so cold -
He feels so cold-

Veiled
Acid and butterflies
A head chalk full of lies
Staring at the sun
Fooling everyone...
Even if you call for me
Breaking like a tide for a wave
Even if you fall for me
I will be the one you leave
Holding the veil
Simple and saccharine
All good things must end
When the stirrings in your blood
Soon become a flood
Even if you call for me
Breaking like a tide for a wave
Even if you fall for me
I will be the one you leave
Holding the veil
Holding the veil all alone...
If what I'm saying makes much sense
Is all of little consequence
The stage will get the best of me
You just get the rest of me...
