Better than watching Gellar bending silver spoons
Better than witnessing newborn nebulaes in bloom
She who sees from up high smiles and surely sings
Perspective pries your once weighty eyes and it gives you wings

I haven't felt the way I feel today in so long
It's hard for me to specify
I'm beginning to notice
How much this feels like a waking limb:
Pins and needles

Nice to know you, goodbye
Nice to know you, goodbye
Nice to know you

Deeper than the deepest Cousteau would ever go
And higher than the heights of what we often think we know
Blessed she who clearly sees the wood for the trees
To obtain a birds eye is to turn a blizzard to a breeze

II haven't felt the way I feel today in so long
It's hard for me to specify
I'm beginning to notice
How much this feels like a waking limb:
Pins and needles

Nice to know you, goodbye
Nice to know you, goodbye
Nice to know you

So could it be that it has been there all along?

. . .



You saw me lost and treading water
I looked pathetic
I looked as helpless as a stinger without a bee
But underneath my presentation
I knew the walls were coming down
And the stones that fell were aiming away from me

Hey, what would it mean to you?
To know that it'll come back around again
Hey, whatever it means to you
Know that everything moves in circles

I saw you standing in my headlights (blink, blink, blink)
I thought I'd run you down for the weight you left on me
Instead I pushed rewind, reversed and drove away
And seeing you disappear in my rearview
Brought to me the word reciprocity

Hey, what would it mean to you?
To know that it'll come back around again
Hey, whatever it means to you
Know that everything moves in circles

Round and round we go
Who would've known it'd end so well
We fall on and we fall off
Existential carousel

. . .



I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
Pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment I am happy...happy

I wish you were here

I lay my head into the sand
The sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it
I'm counting UFO's
I signal them with my lighter
And in this moment I am happy...happy

I wish you were here

The world's a roller coaster and I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care, but my hands are busy in the air

I wish you were here

. . .



I am bottled fizzy water, and you are shaking me up
You are a fingernail running down the chalkboard I thought I left in third grade
Now my only consolation is that this could not last forever
Even though you're singing and thinking how well you've got it made

Who are you?
When will you be through?
Yea it's just a phase
It will be over soon
Yeah, it's just a phase

Call it women's intuition, but I think I'm onto something here
Temporaryism has been the black plague and the Jesus of our age
I know I must sound opinionated, maybe biased and quite possibly jaded
But sooner than later they'll be throwing quarters at you on stage

Who are you?
When will you be through?
Yea it's just a phase
It will be over soon
Yeah, it's just a phase
And I'm waiting for it to be over too

. . .



Seven a.m.
The garbage truck beeps as it backs up
And I start my day thinking about what I've thrown away
Could I push rewind?
The credits traverse, signifying the end
But I missed the best part
Could we please go back to start?
Forgive my indecision

Then again, you're always first when no one's on your side
But then again, a day will come when I want off that ride

Eleven a.m.
By now you would think that I would be up
But my bedsheets shade the heat of choices I've made
And what did I find?
I never thought I could want someone so much
Cause now you're not here and I'm knee deep in that old fear
Forgive my indecision
I am only a man

Then again, you're always first when no one's on your side
But then again, a day will come when I want off that ride

Twelve p.m. and my dusty telephone rings
Heavy head up from my pillow, who could it be?
I hope it's you

Then again, you're always first when no one's on your side
But then again, a day will come when I want off that ride

. . .



I don't want to talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue everytime you come around
Cause blood in my mouth beats blood on the ground

Hand over my heart I swear I've tried everything I could
Within all my power two weeks and one hour
I slaved and now I've got nothing to show
Oh if only you'd grow taller than a brick wall

From now on I'm gonna start holding my breath
When you come around and you flex that fake grin
Cause something inside of me has said more than twice
That breathing less air beats breathing you at all

I don't want to talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue everytime you come around
Cause blood in my mouth beats blood on the ground

Hand over my mouth I'm earning the right to my silence
In quiet discerning between ego and timing
Good judgement is once again proving to me that it's
Still worth it's weight in gold

From now on I'm gonna be so much more wary
When you start to speak and my warm blood starts to boil
That seeing you is like pulling teeth
And hearing your voice is like chewing tin foil

I don't want to talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue everytime you come around
Cause blood in my mouth beats blood on the ground

High fives to a better judgement
By saying less today I will gain more
Low twos to you my fickle friend
Who brought the art of silent war

I don't want to talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue everytime you come around
Cause blood in my mouth beats blood on the ground

. . .



You could see me reaching
So why couldn't you have met me half way?
You could see me bleeding
And you could not put pressure on the wound

You only think about yourself
You better bend before I go
On the first train to Mexico

You could see me breathing
But you still kept your hand over my mouth
You could feel me seething
But you just turned your nose up in the air

You only think about yourself
You better bend before I go
On the first train to Mexico

. . .



Bat your eyes girl
Be otherworldly
Count your blessings
Seduce a stranger
What's so wrong with being happy
Kudos to those who see through sickness

When she woke in the morning
She knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning
Don't ever let life pass you by

I suggest we learn to love ourselves before it's made illegal
When will we learn?
When will we change?
Just in time to see it all fall down

Those left standing will make millions
Writing books on the way it should have been

When she woke in the morning
She knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning
Don't ever let life pass you by

Floating in this cosmic jacuzzi
We are like frogs oblivious
To the water
Starting to boil
No one flinches
We all float face down

When she woke in the morning
She knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning
Don't ever let life pass you by

. . .



There's something about the look in your eyes
Something I noticed when the light was just right
It reminded me twice that I was alive
And it reminded me that you're so worth the fight

My biggest fear will be the rescue of me
Strange how it turns out that way
Could you show me dear
Something I've not seen?
Something infinitely interesting

There's something about the way you move
I see your mouth in slow motion when you sing
More subtle than something, someone contrives
Your movements echo that I have seen the real thing

Your biggest fear will be the rescue of you
Strange how it turns out that way
Could you show me dear
Something I've not seen?
Something infinitely interesting

. . .



To get up and walk away would be too easy
So stay and stand your ground
Just watch your mouth with me
On the back of every right there's a wrong looming
So here you and I should tread as soft as these razor blades for boots will let
be

Have you ever tried to step in my shoes?
Have you ever tried to balance on that beam?
And if you ever tried to step in my shoes
They'll never be quite as soft as they seem

(Thought)
Unabashed honesty would be ideal
But a prophet did once say that honesty is a lonely word
So where do we go from here?
Abandon ship now?
My problem is you make me melt and I don't want to be frozen anymore

Have you ever tried to step in my shoes?
Have you ever tried to balance on that beam?
And if you ever tried to step in my shoes
They'll never be quite as soft as they seem

. . .



It's so much better when everyone is in
Are you in?
It's so much better when everyone is in
Are you in?

Are you in?

It's so much better when everyone is in
Are you in?
It's so much easier when seafoam green is in fashion

Are you in?

Are you, are you in?
(Everybody in)
Are you, are you in?
(Everybody in)

. . .



When I close my eyes
I can see for miles
There's comfort in my dark seat
And chaos in the aisles

These eyes are not your eyes
And these eyes are not the color that
Your arid eyes might be
No, I was not around
When those eyes of yours decided so
I refuse to kneel before the sights you choose to see

When I close my eyes
I remember how to smile
Under my umbrella
I'm an accomplished exile

These eyes are not your eyes
And these eyes are not the color that
Your arid eyes might be
No, I was not around
When those eyes of yours decided so
I refuse to kneel before the sights you choose to see

If this is right, I'd rather be wrong
If this is sight, I'd rather be blind

These eyes are not your eyes
And these eyes are not the color that
Your arid eyes might be
No, I was not around
When those eyes of yours decided so
I refuse to kneel before the sights you choose to see

. . .



I'm floating down a river
Oars freed from their holes long ago
Lying face up on the floor of my vessel
I marvel at the stars
And feel my heart overflow

Further down the river

Two weeks without my lover
I'm in this boat alone
Floating down a river named emotion
Will I make it back to shore
Or drift into the unknown

Further down the river

I'm building an antenna
Transmissions will be sent when I am through
Maybe we'll meet again further down the river
And share what we both discovered
Then revel in the view

Further down the river

. . .
