The Classic Torment

I don't want to let you down
I don't want to walk away

But all of the love songs have been sung
And the stories have been told
I am stuck

I just want to hold your hand
I just want to get closer to you

But all the spots they have been filled
And the last dance is done
You are gone

So the secrets out, I don't have anything to say
So you've figured me out, I'm nothing special today

I just want to let you know
How wonderful I think you are

But all of the words have been used up
And I'm running out of breath
The moments done

I don't want to dream of you
I just want to leave you here

But it's not like I've done this before
So why should I start now
You're still the one

It's not like I'm laying it out, here's my heart for you
It's not like you'll ever know, how much I think of you

So the secrets out, I don't have anything to say
So you've figured me out, I'm nothing special today

Here Is My Slice of Cake, I'm Not Hungry

Suddenly I've realized that all those moments that were so wonderful
Might not have been so wonderful if you had been there
Even when this background image of you used to be so painful
It suddenly makes perfect sense
And suddenly I'm realizing how your perfect being is right in front of me
But I've always believed that it couldn't be real
So I'm staying here where I've always been
Watching in admiration of you
Suddenly I understood how I'm not the type to be ready for it all
And I don't think my type is going to change for quite some time
Because I want to love and touch and be close to you
But I'm the type who's ready to move on

Sweet Things

He stroked her hair
As they lay on the living room floor
She was so pretty
Even with tears in her eyes
She was staring into no where
And he was staring at her
He wished she knew
How wonderful she was
She carried herself so simply
With style and grace
And her heart was a beautiful thing
He would chase after her
Just to hear her sing

And I am lost in this moment
For you there is no compare
And you just keep on coming
Surprising me with everything you do

He made her laugh
At the little things he would do
He couldn't even plan it
When he did
She liked him best
When he wasn't perfect
Just plain old him
She held him closer
When he was sad or angry
So she could be his shield
He was so openly true
In his eyes she fell in love
And she could never let him go
Cause he was everything she dreamed of

Must Be Emo

Strangely enough I miss you
Maybe it's just this sweet guitar and cloudy day
Impartial as I am, I wont let you
Because I want you more when you're walking away
Maybe I have a problem with letting go
Or maybe I can't even grasp
I want to hold on to someone
But I'm scared of whatever lasts

Falling

I'm sorry that I havn't figured out yet
Why every morning I wake up feeling so low
So low I don't want to go through with anything
It's all just a bad idea
And when I can't seem to find something
To brighten up my day
I'm stuck in this rain for as long as it takes
Til I fall asleep and drift off again
To a muddy neverland
I'm sorry I can't explain this
Because I know you see it
But I can't even find it for myself

Hurts So Good

I'm cut down to my knees
Done with these messes I make
By merely trusting in you
Putting my hopes in you
When you don't even realize
How cut-throat you are
I'm down to the depths
Because I've been tearing myself apart
Can you see who I am yet
Thinking you can find the beauty
Is just another shift in the sands
After working so hard just to stand upright
I'm back on my face
And it hurts so bad

You're Someone I Can't Forget

Remember long ago
We had that moment in time
And now for these few seconds
You are again mine
I wont keep you for forever
I'll only hold you closer
Just for a bit I want you
All for myself
After this we'll be on our own
And go on our own sweet lives
Just try not to forget me
Maybe we'll meet like this again

Spanish and I Love Eachother

El Sombrero
Cuesta el dinero
No puedo comprar
Yo prefiero viajar
Extremo


--------------------------------

Pienso que usted es hermoso de muchas maneras.

Usted no puede saber, pero creo.
Estoy joven y asustado.
Usted debe estar asustado también.
Encontraremos fuerza.
Continuaremos.
La verdad será encontrada.

I Am In Ontario K?

There are songs that speak
Of how intruiging you are when you smile
I'd have to agree
And when you laugh
And when you are angry
There is always something else behind it all
I'd just like to sit here and learn
Talk at me for a while
Just be with me
I am so comfertable in that space
I feel strange getting this close
A little scared to tell you the truth
But without me realizing
You're breaking me in
Every time you're around
And I'm putting on the breaks
But leaving it up to you

Time Zones and Other Silly Things

She promises not to pepper him with misconceptions
But he hasn't even heard what she said
Because he's so lost in her eyes
Like a fast track video the world flies by
And here is the centre
A force of it's own
And here, constantly her
A world of their own

One Summer

Off the jagged cliff
To the crystal blue below
Sure it's cold
But the rights are now yours
An adventure to climb down
And a challenge to climb back up
The story unfolds in your mind
Who are we?
Treasure hunters
But we were left out for dead
It's good there are many of us
We can find our way home
Back at camp
It's the feeling of "please never end"
Of campfires and card tricks and we're all together
We're laughing at nothing
Having sand castle wars
Knowing you'd miss this again
Knowing these moments were built for something

Last Glances

There's nothing left to say
But a secretly sorrowfull goodbye
As I catch that last glance
And embolden it inside

How Strange and Compelling

There is something in you that I can simply trust
Your eyes are open to me and I can't look away
You're very faint but your impression so strong
I don't want to go anywhere but directly towards you
This is so strange yet I feel so compelled
I hope you will become clear

A Dreary Rural Love

Go up on your hill
Is it still what you dreamed of
Look at all you built
Do you still put it the centre

You hold me closer when your sad
And you're sad when it rains
I've learned to love a man
Who forgets his own child's name

If the valleys could talk
What would they say to mend our love?
If our bodies have fears
Will they still be here when we die

I'm getting tired of this sun
It's wearing me out
I think you know
I'd rather be in the house

You take a walk every night
There's no one for miles
But baby how could I know?

You like to know things that I don't
But I don't learn much anways
So we don't doubt

Whisper Whisper

don't walk away don't walk away
the songs are speaking something tonight
snap my fingers and you'll appear
to brighten up a little dark
i'm tired of watching the backs of their feet
i'm just tired of not being missed
and feeling like I need to act okay
to tell you the truth I'm not about to move
and I'll build another wall if neccessary
i'm not even going to ask you to stay
i'd just like it if you took that chance
because I think I might be worth it
you'd have to let me know
i'm just goint to whisper
don't walk away don't walk away

Oh How the Summer Creates

Would you like to hold my hand for this sunny season
In these honeysweet days, they will pass so quickly, even as the hours grow
I'm feeling kind of lonely for a happy day
Will you come closer and keep me company
I promise I'll treat you special until we have to part
You'll have someone to hold and I will have a reason to call
It's just too beautiful outside to spend it alone
I just want a little something before I go.
