Nice To Know You
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
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 So could it be that it has been there all along
STRONG>Circles
You saw me lost and treading
water I looked pathetic I looked as helpless as a stinger without a
bee but underneath my presentation, yea 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
Wish You Were Here
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 ,br>
STRONG>Just A Phase
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 Yea it's just a phase...yea 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 Yea it's just a phase...yea it's just a....phase and I'm waiting
for it to be over too
11 AM
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
bed sheets 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 >
Blood on the Ground
I don't want to talk to you
anymore I'm afraid of what I might say I bite my tongue every time
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 every time 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 judgment 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 every time
you come around Cause blood in my mouth beats blood on the
ground High fives to a better judgment by saying less today I will
gain more Low twos to you my fickle friend who brought the art of
silent war
Mexico You could see me reaching So
why couldn't you have met me half way? You could see me bleeding And
you would not put pressure on the wound you only think about
yourself...you only think about yourself you better bend before I
go On the next train to Mexico You could see my 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 only think about yourself you better bend before I
go on the next train to Mexico
Warning Bat your eyes girl Be otherworldly Count your
blessings Seduce a stranger What's so wrong with Being
happy 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
flow 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
Echo
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
Have You Ever
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 seemed (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
seemed Have you ever...have you ever tried to I have never...I have
never tried to 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 seemed
Are You In?
It's so much better When everyone is in are you
in It's so much better When everyone is in are
you in Ooooh..............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 Ooooh..............Are you in? Are
you...are you........... Everybody in
Under My Umbrella
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 and 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
Aqueous Transmission 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 Further down the river Further down the river 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 Further
down the river Further down the river 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 Further down the river Further down the river Further down
the river
