Like birthdays and old friends, we forget
From my world in my bedroom
That love is found on the inside
Show me a smile and I'll promise not to leave you"
Holiday greeting cards
And how I swim across the sea
As well as you love me
As to last me a lifetime
Around the block I walked and walked
And slept in a small bed
Like two sides of a wall
"You're building a wall", she said, "Higher than the both of us
Banging on the piano
Unwilling to face
Without you
I told it all step by step
Not wanting to die out here
There is fresh blood and blood is human
I didn't know you then
Passing through the dark south
And like a medicine bottle
Pretending you were with me
In a girlfriend's self-help book
I put my letters in college
Blood dripping from the bed to a neatly written poem
To look out from my window
And swallow you slowly
We talked about side lines
Is it going to happen, my love?
How I landed on the island
Without you
"It's all in my head", she said, "Morning after nightmare"
To love you
There is no more mystery
It's all in his head, she read
Trading phone lines
I do not want to lose
I found you overseas souvenirs
And like a medicine bottle
It happened under a rainy cloud
Those long forgotten high school fears
Heartfelt last line reading
That I may [Incomprehensible] in me
The thrill that it gives me
So try living life instead of hiding in the bedroom
Not wanting to die out here
In the cabinet, I'll keep you
And sky without houses
There is no more mystery
Without holding too tight
I've not been so along
It's all, 'cause he's making
The hurting never ends
He shuts out the world he once knew
Is it going to happen, my love?
Trading lines
"It's all in my head", I said
Tossed up over the alarm clock
And we went on separate ways
We went into a big house
That separates two countries
A war with himself
I drank so much tea
Not the outside
The thoughts kicking in the womb
No more breath in my hair or ladies underwear
Letting someone into my misery
Not wanting to die out here
And we went on separately
In my hand I will hold you
And it crosses my mind
