Newww Sonnnggsss (In Progress)

Well it's a good day
To tell me how you feel
I know that's something you've been trying to conceal
I see it in your eyes
There's no use in hiding

Yea it's a pretty good day
To take me for a walk
Take me for a drive
Be by my side
You gotta say something
Say something boy!

When the clock strikes twelve
I might disappear
Oh I can't count all the times you've left me here

You gotta move,
You gotta slide,
You gotta show that
I'm the girl you want to know

So give it a chance
Put on some pants
Give it a shot
Lets see what you've got
I already think you're a pretty cute guy
That's a point in your favor, don't let it slide

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

How did you make me smile
I have been missing all of my life
And there you are

I cannot change my mind
I have all but lost the fight
I'm fallin in

Well I've never been here
But I've lost any sense of my fear
When you touch me the floor falls away
And I'm left wondering what else I could say

When I try to turn away
It is your eyes that make me stay
I can't escape

So when I fall apart
I blame you for taking my heart
I'm helpless now

My mother always said
You gotta be crazy in your head
To keep holding on

Well I think I got it now
I'm all but sane when I see you
You've got it all

(OKAY this one is super cheesy but I like the melody!)

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

When I found you in the ocean
I didn't plan to stay
You were just a passing island
Lovely but castaway

I wish I could recount the distance
To draw myself a map
I don't think I could find the limits
I just want to get back

I'm broken, you said it
But I think we fixed it

Uhhhhmmm?

Fold yourself a few times to make things fit
Instead like sheets on the hanging line
Right out to dry
Picked up by the wind until the pins come out
Can't reach, hands tied

Dry grasses blow but it's the water underneath
Light in the day, cool in the night
It sits steady and low

I'm trying to explain without clearly explaining. I guess that's writing most of the time...

Lampy

Hearts are lovely lamps which cover their heads and scan the floor
Looking for creaks and cracks to seep their light through
Trying to catch a glimpse of something new
Something their cord and stand could never do

They're cold sheets which rap themselves around you
Curling to find a warm place away from air that breathes
They like to land themselves forever on smooth skin
As the bed holds them tightly from being able to begin

Mine is a quick draw
With the hand shaking in its pocket
Ready to fire at just about anything
Meeting death or imprisonment with first time loving

Alexandra Shoots For The Stars

I'm self-confident
Perhaps a little vain
With a little wander lust
And lack of passion
So I found the number one
And sat myself beside
Just because I can
Yep, just because I could.
But I think it's like a drug
Having trouble getting down

Bold

It's at this time I decided
We shouldn't be apart
I know it's kind of crazy, you don't have to believe me
I'm probably hallucinating
But I'm feeling bold enough to say it

That's all

Ground Rules

Can I tell you that I do not care
I've been in it for a while, now it's all out the window
I'll treat you how I want to
And you can fight it or love it
I recommend just letting me go
You'll feel a little special, and forget it all in the long run
Just remember that I certainly don't love you
Though you may want it here and there
And I wont even mind if you run away scared
I'm just making myself happy, you can join in if you'd like

Amiss?

I know you’re forgetful
But please answer my question
I’ve been waiting all my life
If I walk for miles and miles
Will I eventually run into the sky

Oh I know we’ve had a long standing agreement
To not talk about dimensions of space
But I can’t help thinking there’s something amiss here
Something amiss here

When we were children do you remember thinking
How are brains could get so big
And though I could wait for the rest of my life
I’ll never get to infinity

Oh sometimes I feel I’m just a baby in a womb
Watching yellow lights in this waiting room
But I can’t help thinking there’s something amiss here
Something amiss here

Maybe if you pass me that ladder
I can get up higher
To see what we’re supposed to be

And maybe if you stand beside me
We can make it stronger
like a rope on a bridge or the surge of the sea

Well moments have passed
Since I first started talking
Walking and dancing and growing my first teeth
And moments are coming when I lose all the people
People who meant anything, anything to me

So I end up crying for years of my life
Watching stars and shuttles pass from the sky
But I can’t help thinking there’s something amiss here
Something amiss here
