Again I Go Unnoticed

So quiet.
Another wasted night
The television steals the conversation.
Exhale.
Another wasted breath
again it goes unnoticed.

Please tell me you're just feeling tired,
cause if it's more than that I feel that I might break.
Out of touch. Out of time.
Please send me anything but signals that are mixed,
cause I can't read your rolling eyes.
Out of touch. Are we out of time?

Closed lipped.
Another goodnight kiss
is robbed of all it's passion.
Your grip.
Another time is slack
it leaves me feeling empty.

Please tell me you're just feeling tired,
cause if it's more than that I feel that I might break.
Out of touch. Out of time
Please send me anything but signals that are mixed,
cause I can't stand your rolling eyes.
Out of touch. Are we out of time?

I'll wait until tomorrow.
Maybe you'll feel better then,
maybe we'll be better then.
So what's another day
when I can't bear these nights of thoughts of going on withoutyou?
This mood of yours is temporary.
It seems worth the wait to see you smile again.
Out of the corner of your eye
won't be the only way you're looking at me then.

So quiet.
Another wasted night
the television steals the conversation.
Exhale.
Another wasted breath
again it goes unnoticed.

       Dusk and Summer

      She smiled in a big way, the way a girl like that smiles
      When the world is hers and she held your eyes
      Out in the breezeway down by the shore in the lazy summer
      And she pulled you in, and she bit your lip, and she made you hers
      She looked deep into you as you lay together quiet in the grasp of dusk
      and summer

      But you've already lost
      When you only had barely enough to hang on

      And she combed your hair, and she kissed your teeth
      And she made you better than you'd been before
      She told you bad things you wished you could change in the lazy summer
      And she told you, laughing down to her core, so she would not cry as she
      lay in your lap
      She said "nobody here can live forever, quiet in the grasp of dusk and
      summer"

      But you've already lost
      When you only had barely enough to hang on

      She said, "no one is alone the way you are alone"
      And you held her looser than you would have if you ever could have known
      Some things tie your life together, slender threads and things to treasure
      Days like that should last and last and last

      But you've already lost
      When you only had barely enough of her to hang on

        Rooftops and Invitations


   The first time you looked at her curves you were hooked
      And the glances you took, took hold of you and demanded that you stay
      And sunk in their teeth, bit your heart and released
      Such a charge that you need another touch, another taste, another fix

      She just might get you lost
      And she just might leave you torn
      But she just might save your soul
      If she gets you when she gets you any closer

      She leads you up, points out skylines and stars, steeple chases in bars
      And took your keys and demanded that you stay
      The city longs well for rooftops and invitations
      All lace in secret places, she moves you to touch with her hands

      And she just might get you lost
      And she just might leave you torn
      But she just might save your soul
      If she gets you when she gets you any closer

      Under the cold sheet, where the welcomed touch of skin and skin will meet
      Out on the inside where a girls prize is at the tip of your tongue
      Where every move and each impulse brings clarity
      To stay like this is everything you'll ever need

      She just might get you lost
      And she just might leave you torn
      But she just might save your soul
      But she gets you any closer

      Can you believe your eyes

      Stolen

  You watch the season pull up its own stakes
      And catch the last weekend of the last week
      Before the gold and the glamour have been replaced,
      Another sun soaked season fades away

      You have stolen my heart

      Invitation only grant farewells
      Crush the best one, of the best ones
      Clear liquor and cloudy eyed, too early to say goodnight

      You have stolen my heart

      And from the bar room floor we are a celebration
      One good stretch before our hibernation
      Our dreams assured and we are, we'll sleep well

      You have stolen
      You have stolen my heart

      I watch you spin around in the highest heels
      You are the best one, of the best ones
      We all look like we feel

      You have stolen my
      You have stolen my heart






Screaming Infidelities

I'm missing your bed
I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak,
And this bottle of beast
Is taking me home

(1.) I'm cuddling close
To blankets and sheets
But you're not alone, and you're not discreet
Make sure I know who's taking you home.

I'm reading your note over again
There's not a word that I comprehend,
Except when you signed it
"I will love you always and forever."

(2.) Well As for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs
And sit alone and wonder
How you're making out
But as for me, I wish that I was anywhere with anyone
Making out.

I'm missing your laugh
How did it break?
And when did your eyes begin to look fake?
I hope you're as happy as you 're pretending.

(1.) I'm cuddling close
To blankets and sheets
I am alone
In my defeat I wish I knew you were safely at home

I'm missing your bed
I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak, and
This bottle of beast is taking me home.

(2.)

Your hair, it's everywhere.
Screaming infidelities
And taking its wear.
(Repeat Four times)

Vindicated

Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye

And roped me in
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing
I am captivated

{Chorus}
I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along

And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye

And rendered me
So isolated, so motivated
I am certain now that

{Chorus}

So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away (3x)
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away (4x)

{Chorus}

Slight hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption...
