I am where I am meant to be, I know thats true because I am there. I know, too, that you are as well and thats why I’m so scared. How in the world could an angel lose her wings in the war? between chance and fate, are they one in the same? theres nothing past...

It's late and the lights are low so we can see the way each other looks naturally when there's no one to impress I'm kind of young and I'm smiling cause the CD skipped the patron stands comanding fix that quick or i'll slink away with no one to undress I kind...

you want the clouds, but you don’t want the rain. you want to be found, but you sure wanna play, hide and seek, and all those other games. you want the sun, but you don’t want the heat. you want those trees, but you don’t want no leaves, falling in your drink...

There is this dog, who lives up stairs. he drops his bone, he never cares. he keeps me up, he brings me down. he only makes his ruckus when he knows I am around. there is a ring, its falling now. and I am insane, from all its sounds. the splish, the splash,...

Don’t wanna rush it but I’m feeling a rush I wanna touch you and I wanna get touched Don’t wanna push you but I’m feeling a pull Don’t wanna crowd you, I just want you to be happy and full You should have seen me, so lost and so raw I had a free ticket but I w...

with tragedy avoided and everything in its proper place, I hope people are pointing, that sucker finally fell from grace. and when he did he stained his blue jeans, and burned his hand with a cigarette. but truth is, he felt nothing. except for the cold and re...

I'm too scared to close my eyes and fall asleep. cause my bed is haunted by a girl. she steals the covers and she holds on to me. I feel bad waking her up. even though she hates me like its not a strong word. and she makes me wish I’d never heard any song that...

I had a dream I was a great lover Tantalizing tantrically a high school crush The hour was late so we laid down together and when I woke I was alone and she had stolen my phone First time in weeks that you had not been there Dancing like the ashes in the wi...

It's only cause I care so much that I slammed the door in your face and it's just a kiss I'm dreaming of as I'm crying watching you drive away and I wouldn't fear if I didn't have such a history of bad luck and I wouldn't drop a single tear if I wasn't such a...

I cant remember the last time I got myself in this much trouble. its been, at the very least, a couple of years. I walk around with her name always on the tip of my tongue. and her laughter ringing loud in my ears. I dont know if I’ve ever been pointed this fa...

when you really go for it, you sure can go far. so far that Im not quite sure who you are anymore. I guess this means war. my ears are still ringing from your hand grenade. it didn't stop my heart, it wasn't even mamed. it just made a loud noise, when it was o...

I’m not proud, but I ‘aint ashamed. I am guilty as charged, but I cant be blamed. wouldn’t you be just like me if you’d seen the dark times I have seen? so much company. still so lonely. San Francisco nights are cold. we are all growing old, we are all growin...

waking up alone and then reaching for the phone. I’m tired of living in a city where the winters so cold. I wanna pack a bag, I wanna hop a train. I got to get down south cause I got a pain in the middle of my chest and it keeps me awake, and theres only one t...

I can't believe how right you are, next to right about how strong you are, but you said I was so strong. I can't spin you about your big bedroom. I can’t deal with not hearing from you, I sure hope it's soon. Oh, yes, I do. I can't believe how nervous I got....
