Confusion

A whisper of the heart
Reveals secrets new and past
The water reflects what little is left
Of the hope that we shared from the start

A moment passes by
A moment to accept and deny
She opens her mouth but no sound does come out
And all we can do is cry
Tell me why

This interest sparks confusion
But it's really an illusion

The sun starts to descend
As the silence plays host to an uncertain end
It's as if the trees bow their leaves in some kind of respect
To the deep sense of defeat they both feel

And the memories roll back
But they've eliminated all the cracks
So it seems they were perfect together all the time
And now their afraid they wont find another love like this one provided

This interest sparks confusion
But it's really an illusion

A little bit for me, a little bit for you

Let's start it slow
Let's start it so slow
Don't want to rush it
Cos we know how fast it goes

If you want to grow this love back
A little bit for me
A little bit for you

Darling there are signs when I look straight into your eyes
Of missing me, yeah it intensifies
Everytime I risk that firing line

And if you want to grow this love back
A little bit for me
A little bit for you

I just can't believe it when you say that you don't need it
I know deep down you feel it
But you bottle it up so scared that I'll see it.
So you're up? So you're down? Afraid of messing me around?
Myself, I'm a merry-go-round
I'll keep us spinning
I'll keep us sound.

If you want to grow this love back
A little bit for me
A little bit for you

If you wan't to grow it back

Time is inspired

My ego already knows what it's supposed to know.
The truth's been told,
It's time for me to go.
Walking by myself conclusions conclude themselves.
The truth's been told,
It's time for me to go.

These early spring deliberations,
The air is cold and my hands are shaking.
Waiting for summer change is wearing me thin.
But we won't, we won't let you in.

Isn't time inspired? It slows down when you're feeling so tired.
And I know it's going to last for a while.
Because my ego already knows what it's supposed to know
The truth's been told it's time for me to go.

These early spring deliberations,
The air is cold and my hands are shaking.
Waiting for summer change is wearing me thin.
But we won't, we won't let you in.

Can't you just take feelings and make them break?

Stuck in reverse

There's things that I've been meaning to say
A flicker of doubt, that keeps screaming out.
So I push and I shove, but my courage backs up,
And I'm left here again, stuck in reverse.

Got close one day in trying to explain
All my fears to you.
But you flashed me that smile to throw me of the trail.
And I'm left here again, stuck in reverse.

I swear I keep seeing glimpses of you
Between cracks in the blinds and at unearthly times.
You're going somewhere else when you used to want to see me.
Leaving me stuck in reverse.

It's true, I won't deny
The interest between us has faded away
Conversations, more like interviews and interrogations
Hollow throughout, riddled with doubt
A feeble excuse for two lovers to use

It's sad you can't admit the truth
Come clean with me and yourself
So back to your friend who be both know you pretend you don't see
Leave me stuck in reverse.

Soft and Needy

Time can change, it's time to move on.
Is this the way that you feel?
So I bit my tongue, tried to hold on.
That's not the way that I felt.

So break me, break me,
Soft and needy.
Watch me bleeding,
So discreetly.
Save me, save me
Come back and haunt me.

Didn't know that you were the fool.
Always blamed myself as the rule.
Didn't know that you were the fool.

Struggling to find a mind to satisfy my appetite.
Is there a problem with me?
Oh you're pushing forward, pushing past.
Taking off and landing fast.
Leave me behind on the runway.

So break me, break me,
Soft and needy.
Watch me bleeding,
So discreetly.
Save me, save me.
Come back and haunt me.

Watch me, watch me,
Pave my only path to glory
Through this story.
Watch me, watch me,
As I fall
I guess it all kind of got me going home.

King and Queen

Please get your chair away from the window,
I know that you're no Rapunzel.
But I bet if you let your hair down
I would try to jump out, climb up and rescue you.

Can't you see? It's not you,
It's you and me.
Can't you see? We're not free,
We're King and Queen.
We're stuck together like branches stuck to a tree

Don't run, don't run
This rope's not very long.
You pull, I'll fall
Then my darling we are done.

Now I see it's not you
It's me entirely.
Now I see we're not free,
We're King and Queen.
We were forced together like actors into a scene.

Don't run, don't run
This rope's not very long.
You pull, I'll fall
Then my darling we are done.

Hark! Can you hear the angels cry?
They've seen the damage
They saw the sparks fly
They pulled their King out from gutter
After you churned his brain like milk into butter
Oh cry for me now, cry for me
Don't you know you've got to cry for me now
Cry for me
