Tried to think of things to say
Tried to get her on her own
Tried to think of ways to say
She'd be better off alone
It's not your place, it's not your party
Some things are better left unsaid
If she left him you'd be sorry
if it wasn't you instead
You've been watching, you've been waiting
been consoling on the phone
you were there when he left her
you would hold her like your own
think about how it would happen
what the circumstance would be
You can picture you both laughing
about how she didn't see this
Tried to think of things to say
Tried to get her on her own
Tried to think of ways to say
She'd be better off alone

Couldn’t think of what to say
Couldn’t say what he might think
so I did it anyway
I guess I could’ve walked away
It’s how he looked at me
so I could plainly see
so long and pleasurely
I could almost feel his hands on me
I’m so close now
so close now
I’m so close now
so close now
So close
So close now
Wanna go out on the town
pretty people all around
swallowed all up in the sound
I’m on the floor to get down
Cause tonight I couldn’t sleep
gotta find some of them good beats
I’m a little honey bee
I can feel him watchin’ me
Wanna take this night to play
wanna dance the night away
not a word I’ll have to say
I’ll just let my hips sway
I’m so close now
So close now
I’m so close now
So close now
So close
So close

What's going to get in the way
The only question that matters to me is
When it comes to the end of the day
Where is this all going to be
Will the structure just buckle under
The weight of it's own intentions
And in the end when it's all remembered
What are they all going to mention?
Will it be worth the wait
When the days go strange
Will we adapt to the change
Or will the gamble all just turn sour
And will the progress all just seem useless
When compared to the bare essentials
Will we wonder why we acted this way
Will it be worth all the change
These wild fires burn too bright
For me to stare into for too long
And these wild fires burn too late
For me to stay awake
For too long

Imagine a circle a million years ago
Protected and precious
Unguarded and safe you know
Filling up space and filling in holes
Finding your place with commanding egos
Preparing for battle
It’s consuming your days
If battered and beaten you’re getting off lucky
The ghost in the room it’s bigger than you
It’s bigger than patience and trumps what you do
Time and space and heart and pace are all you will need to plead your case
Time and space and heart and pace are all you will need to save your face
You’re gonna want to hope that your back it is strong
That your fists they forgot to feel
That your face is erasing the target and that your heart is remembering just how to heal
And your words are memories now, of screaming…

Why would you say if I called you up on the telephone?
Why would you say if I called you up on the telephone?
Why would you say if I called you up on the telephone?
Would I hear your voice, or would I hear a dial tone?
What would you do running into me on the street?
What would you do running into me on the street?
What would you do running into me on the street?
Would you walk on by, or would our eyes meet?
What would you say if I told you that I was not the same?
What would you say if I told you that I was not the same?
What would you say if I told you that I was not the same?
I wonder these things every single day.

I can't tell if I'm in shock or not
I don't know if I'll come out on top
I can see just how this will turn out
I won't float and I will try to shout
Footprints lead you to the riverbed
But you won't find me there

I know, I know
We’ve never seen eye to eye or screen to screen
It’s only mind to mind.
So when I saw you,
I couldn’t help but smile, I saw your eyes
I saw your eyes
I couldn’t hardly breathe
I’m pulling at your sleeve
I thought I knew you
I thought you might know me
Your name rolls off my teeth
and makes my tongue taste sweet my ears are ringing
my eyes are stinging and you
you knock me off my toes
those stones up in your nose
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
I know you don’t know me but I know you
I know you don’t see me but I see you
I know you don’t know
me but I know you, I know you I know you don’t see
me but I see you
Clearly
IseeyouIseeyouIseeyou
I see you in your pictures
It’s all in how you look away
I read aloud your scriptures
I love the way you say the things you say
It’s over now, it’s over
I feel the change that’s in the wind
September skies
so clear and wide
so open, so open
A time to begin
A space to fill in
the colden days will melt away
the sun will shine again
I hear you now
so clear and loud
I lay back on the ground
You pull me down
I know you don’t know
me but I know you
IknowyouIknowyouIknowyou

On the day I was born / I gave myself a face / and given a name / on the day I was born
Gave myself a face / and given a name / and taken away / on the day I was born.
I remember the noise / when I entered the room / the people, the faces, the places / and everything new to a boy / their new favourite toy / a bundle of joy.
A memory will last / but a moment too soon / I left without words / it burns, yes, but I still will carry on through / a part of what's you / one step behind two.
Temporary madness, temporary pain, temporary silence, all will remain. Temporary heartache, temporary shame, temporary measures, no ones to blame
