the ineffable twilight of the night skys
leave me unable to utter the words
to instill a tangible loving tie

let's not sever these ties of friendship
one time friends, our hearts now begin to stir

it's not goodbye, it's i'll see you later
when the stars ignite to reveal a happy ending
where we'll be content with the positions we're left in

amorous high school infatuations
develop into "yes" or "no" answers
reflecting your wayward disposition

let's not sever these ties of friendship
the detriments of regret now leave her

it's not goodbye, it's i'll see you later
when the stars ignite to reveal a happy ending
where we'll be content with the positions we're left in

the gentle disposition of the summer wind turns deadly
as it passes through the hole where my heart used to be

no more will i wallow in my own defeat
no more will i let this bring me down
no more will i let this red pen bleed
these words of sorrow that i abhor

...hearts grace the stars...

football games are full of false hugs and "hellos"
from girls who only now seem to notice me
where were they when i stood beside the guys
that their affections were clearly aimed towards

where do i fit in?
my friends have their fingers intertwined
with gentle and loving care from another
i reach for a hand that i know is not there
all i happen to grasp is the empty unloving air

it's friday night and i'm longing for your sincere embrace

you may say you're over someone
but you don't realize that
you never truly forget the way
she made you feel inside

where do i fit in?
my friends have someone to share their root beers and their mountain dews
my doctor pepper is getting flat
wishing to be drank by only you

it's friday night and i'm longing for your sincere embrace

you may say you're over someone
but you don't realize that
you never truly forget the way
she made you feel inside

...another touchdown is scored...
...the crowd cheers on...
i watch you smiling happily and just this once
i wish those emotions could be directed towards me

it's friday night and i'm longing for your sincere embrace

you may say you're over someone
but you don't realize that
you never truly forget the way
she made you feel inside

i don't care if you have a boyfriend now
i would want you to know anyways
so when you would catch my gaze
you would see the love in my eyes
...that are watching you...
...instead of this game...

payment for a dime money well spent
bought half a rotten rose
wanted to forget your eyes when sad
evil angry as you tore the petals off
changed into a sculpture longing for a touch
changed into a sculpture longing for a touch

the hurt is extreme
my world is now dust
to say that I once loved you
all care is lost
go away please go away
go away please go away
i will run and run and run away
i will run and run and run away

ashes of my mind scatter at your feet
feel the barbed wire grip in your ice cold stare
falling reaching for our broken cord of love
leaves me wondering when I'll hit the shore
finds me hoping in a dark blank solitude
finds me hoping in a dark blank solitude

fly away to you castle

carry my heart always
should you stumble and fall I'll wait
there'll be a reward so pure and of taste
my dear friend I say it won't be a waste

carry my heart always
carry my heart I'll wait
carry my heart always
carry my heart I'll wait

this all just may be far too much to ask
but the only truth is I can't carry this task
on my own I will die please help me again
to you I do plea please help me I pray

i want you to hold me
to see me in all that I am
don't be repulsed by what I don't have
and love please love me always

i know I can't make you
please love me the way that I want you to
i know I've been mean with the things that I've said
i know I can't make you
i know I can love you
the way you want me always

i've known you forever
my life here to spend
i'd give in your place and I believe that I already did

i know I can't hold you
i know I can't be by your side
but I will make this promise
call to me and I'll come running
