The Two of Us

If it was just the two of us,
I'd whisper in your ear,
Ill take you by the hand and we'd fly, away from life, away from death
you'd hold me close and together we'd jump, fall into the sky, fall into the galaxy

But it's not the two of us,
theres that girl you're always talking with, the mother with disapproving eyes, the friends 
with frowns on their faces
So if it ever were just the two of us...
please don't let go.

Are You Listening?

theres a spot on the corner of my room that i find myself sitting on every night 
smiling to myself, murmuring nonsense to a certain picture, blurred with tears, scratches and 
lipstick kiss marks 
I could scream, i could laugh, but you won't turn around 
crying, calling, by your silence I am bound 
you love me, i love you, 
you hate me, I still love you 
I'd leave, but I can't, I'd push you out, but I can't. 
Not until it's really over.... 
Are you listening?

It Is Then

When the sky is dark and the moon bright, 
the moths heading for heavenly lights
it is then I call your name

When the children sleep, and the mothers wait
for cold and tired fathers late
it is then I hear you knock

When the laughters quiet and the silence loud,
and the stray cats sing, strong and proud
It is then I feel your voice

when bodies lie and thought wander
dreams slipping like hands cupping water
It is then you are alive

Come Back

talking out of lies,
walking into skies,
maybe you're right, i'm alone now

mountains to climb,
slides to slide,
no more time, forget the broken vows

and when you come, 
shadows of promised happiness follows.
still stings where it left me hollow
still numb,
leading you to the awaiting gallows

Maybe you were right, theres no more hope for me
maybe I was right, somewhere, theres the key
i dont know or care whether we'll ever agree
All i know is you failed to see
the truth, the signs, the obvious,
and it hurts, to know...
I still want you back
