One Thing Leads To Another

i fell on my knees into the sun
sheer love, still soldier on
oh i don't need to be saved
watch me ride the waves as
one thing leads to another
the time flies by
day comes through, through the door
leaves me wanting more
fills the room till i'm satisfied
i feel so cold as the winter sets in
as the winter sets in
and as one thing leads to another
the time flies by
swim me in, head and heart
all desires oceans apart
when i fall from your skies
watch me learn to fly as
one thing leads to another
the time flies by
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh ooh

Sure Thing

how are you feeling
i'm reeling in your trust
for sure
well, hold on to this
you're beautiful to me
that i need
and give you
you mistreat me and you're kind
and if that's
not something unique
shake the hurt and the lying out (of the whole world)
and shoot 'em in back (whole world)
you've fallen, sure thing
take a shot at nothing
this could be easier
but one thing's true for sure
i know
belong to me
throw back your covered wings
and i know
like i've always known
you're dying for some time
to kill
just anything
shake the hurt and the lying out (of the whole world)
and shoot 'em in back (whole world)
you've fallen, sure thing
have you given in

Off My Mind

i feel too much
and see too much
i fall too much
and when i'm down
it's too much
why do you have to be so cruel
you know what i'm going through
can't think straight these days
and everything is very strange
well i saw you in town today
but you looked through me and then you turned away
all my friends are being kind
but i just can't get you off my mind
time is not enough
and words are not enough
one day is not enough
i can't explain
it's not enough
but i just want to talk to you
tell you what i'm going through
there's things i need to know
but everytime i see you i choke
when i said i hated you
i never ever meant to
be so unkind
but i just can't get you off my mind
i feel too much
and see too much
i'll run, will you come
i'll run, will you come
i can't explain
it's too much

Gently Fall

sometimes from this perspective
cannot think for yourself
i know you're scared but you feel insecure
happens to us all sometime
close your eyes
i see you down and last
you cannot disguise your own wish
hold on, time to lose control
pour all your feelings out
oh, feel it flow
oh, feel it, let you go
oh you're frightened animal
you've got nowhere else to run
face the challenge of your life
or it will never be undone
so come, and release
all the juice and rust inside
spit it out
here's your apology
it is time we lost control
oh, feel it flow
oh, feel it, let you go
oh oh oh, feel it flow
oh, feel it, let you go
time to lose control
and tell the poem
and then go

Please Yourself

remember me
glow inside
covered in the snow
head to toe
once i wished for this, and more
we're moving in a classic way
dusting off the perfect day
we've been polishing the sun
i don't mind i don't mind i don't mind
oh please yourself
well i don't mind
face the day on empty dreams
things are never what they seem
one a month, these pains of joy
and once i wished i was a boy
very soon i changed my mind
face the day on empty dreams
things are never what they seem
remember me
glow inside
covered in the snow
head to toe
once i wished for this, and more

Angels Fallen

show me your religion and i'll give you mine
just couldn't face this morning now really i'm fine
and tell me again how lucky we are
must've had a ball with no comebacks
the kitchen and the coffee and a map of the world
a little something grows where they fall down
and tell me again you've got a nice face
i get the idea and always
love like tiny mountains roll over me
just the kind of pressure i don't need
and twenty of seeing with nothing to see
to get an idea you might believe
well what makes all the difference
what really makes it flow
a little direction a little i know
and angels on the rooftop staring out on the sky
another time maybe i could want you but
i approach you in a hotel that doesn't have windows
hold hands and then he falls to seek she
the kitchen and the coffee and the plan in my room
crosses and ice where angels fallen
and tell me again how lucky i am
well i guess i had it coming
then what makes all the difference
what really makes it flow
a little direction, a little i know
and angels on the rooftop staring at the sky
i get the idea and picture of home
i'm home
and hearth
i sat home
and i'd just like
some breaks
some sights
won't talk
can't sleep at night
with faith
and autumn
half saved
half tastes
of sugar
of sugar

Isolation

surrep, surreptitiously
steal a kiss or two or maybe three
suck me in through your skin
through every pore
out to make me
out to make me
precious mind
silence
does it ever get that good
does it ever get that good
i don't know why you ask me
i don't know why you came
some things never change
out to make me
out to make me
out to make me i'm in every vein
once i'm in i'm there to stay
i'm strong, cool, infectious me and you
'cause see, see you gather
one as one
free as becoming isolation
isolation
surrep, surreptitiously
steal a kiss or two or maybe three
guilty
or innocent
in your own words
out to make me
out to make me
out to make me i'm inside your brain
silver running through your veins
hot and cool
creeping over you
breathe me in and out
taste me in your mouth
i won't leave your bed
i won't leave you dead
i won't...
i'm in your head

Long Day In The Universe

long day in the universe
i'm talking to you
oh made it worse
a big sun in a small sky
facing the sand
losing everything
i've never had a culture
i've never had a reason to
and if i had a reason
then i'd kill for love
the day and the sun's not out
the day and sun won't stop
a feeling like safety lasts
oh do you know what i'm saying
don't say it again
don't say it again
don't say it again
oh oh oh
don't say it again
don't say it again
don't say it again
some rain in the afternoon
clear then cold
are you coming home soon
long day in the universe
and i miss you
and i miss you

Wave

i'm on fire, the light glows
i'm on fire, everything shows
forget the time, reflect your mind
if this is an ocean we can make a wave
we can make a wave
we can make a wave
we can make a wave
take my bones, take my blood
all the flesh and all the love
yesterday was so good
yesterday, we could burn our home
we could burn our home
we could burn our home
we could burn our home
home
home
home
home
home
we gotta try and make sense of how we're feeling
we're never gonna try and make sense of it all
by this fire the light glows
my desire, everything flows
brace yourself, i'll swallow you whole
skin and bones, we could make a wave
we could make a wave
we could make a wave
we could make a wave
we could burn our home we could burn our home
we could burn our home we could burn our home

If

you're so perfect in every way
from within
you wake me up from this dream
pinch my skin
and if i needed to fly
would you show me the sky
if i, if i needed to
and if i wanted to run
would you fire the gun
if i, if i wanted to
you're too dangerous for me, like energy
you give the seed and you feed
love into me
and if i stumble and fall
would you catch me at all
if i, if i ever do
and if i fell out of place
would you lift me the grace
if i, if i ever do
you're so beautiful to see
blinding me
the life from you will always shine
oh i can see
