Falling (01-17-10)
You're not dreaming about tonight, now.
'Cause you're not the same as me.
With a mind open wide and a soul set free,
I held tight and began to believe.
You didn't let others get so close.
What made me the different one?
Your stare shot daggers through my heart with your eyes as bright as the sun.
Falling out, falling under.
Reaching for something more than this.
Angels drop like stars from the sky.
You must be someone elses promise.
You knew of the truth I told you.
I gave you my hand to hold.
With a love that was big and burning,
I watched your spirit unfold.
Falling out, falling under.
Reaching for something more than this.
Angels drop like stars from the sky.
You must be someone elses promise.
And all I ever wanted to be was the love you gave to me.
And all I everwanted to be was the love you gave to me.
And all I ever wanted to be was the love you gave to me.

Month of May
Month of May (01-10)
I let my heart stray in the month of May.
Your eyes were blue like the sea.
I took your callused hand in my own and knew how it felt to be free.
Your soul shone golden like the sun, mine was lit like the moon.
You asked, "Has anyone told you today?"
And then I laid with you til noon.
But you walked away, didn't you, baby?
How was I to have known?
You never told me what you wanted.
This broken heart aint one to be sewn.
I let my heart stray in the month of May.
I listened to you strum your guitar.
I shut my eyes and started to fly.
Opened them but did not get very far.
But you walked away, didn't you, baby?
How was I to have known?
You never told me what you wanted.
This broken heart aint one to be sewn.
I don't mean to contest that this won't be laid to rest.
Soon you'll be in the back of my mind.
I let my heart stray in the month of May,
but it won't take forever to find.

Blame
Blame (01-10)
You say you've lost your feelings for me,
that there's nothing you can do.
Well, my love, I've got some news.
I, too, have love mine for you.
So run and hide, go chase your pride.
Try to forget my name.
But don't come crying, begging, pleading.
You have only yourself to blame.
I'm moving on with my life.
My heart will surely mend.
But just like that, you come crawling back.
Thought you said this was the end.
So dry your eyes, cover your lies.
Turn around and walk away.
Stop coming, crying, begging, pleading.
You have only yourself to blame.
You say you've lost your feelings for me,
that there's nothing you can do.

=)
09-09
Your heart brings unrest to my fragile bones.
Your words are cast like weightless stones.
And in that moment I come to know,
You are the only one I need.
Your soul begins to burn through my skin
and suddenly I'm spread too thin.
Would you tell me it's a sin
for my mind to be this wearied?
I lie awake in bed and wonder.
And as the dawn breaks, my love rolls like thunder.
Your soul is a temple I have fallen under.
For this I am truly certain
10-09
Rain drops pound on the roof.
Broken words scattered on the floor.
Your bags are packed, the backdoor slams.
And the dogs don't bark anymore.
I can taste you at the ocean.
I still feel you on my fingers.
But you've gone away and all I have left to my name
is the thought of you that lingers.
A storm is making its way through.
Its roar sounds a heavy sigh.
My heart's on the ground, it don't make a sound.
I ask you, is love still alive?
11-09
The sun starts to turn red as it hides behind the moon.
Its summer glow begins to slow as the season ends too soon.
The stars appear without a fear, their beauty never shaken.
They shine upon this heart of mine that has been slowly breakin'.
Their wintry light eases my plight and keeps me on my way.
I stay on track and don't look back at a love that's begun to fray.
The stars quickly fade away as the breath of morning is spun.
I say goodbye and watch you fly into the memory of red sun.
Ghost (11-09)
I am the winter cold as it seeps through your clothes.
I am the wind shiver that crawls into your bones.
I am the diamond you lost inside your mind.
I am the secret you have been trying to find.
I am the muted memory that makes your eyes bleed.
I am the hunger in your heart you have been trying to feed.
Even though this has just begun,
through the rain i can see the sun.
My swollen heart has come undone.
I am the cuts on your soul that won't seem to heal.
I am the beauty and purity your wandering hands feel.
I am the piano in your front yard and your door in the sky.
I am nothing more, babe, than a drawn out goodbye.
I am the ocean waves as they crash onto the shore.
I am the gleaming ray of hope on which you closed the door.
Even though this has just begun,
through the rain i can see the sun.
My swollen heart has come undone.
Come undone.
Dance With The Devil (12-09)
If you were watching carefully,
you could see that I am blind.
And I've been making deals with the devil, baby,
just to get you off my mind.
Traded everything I got, babe.
Traded my heart, traded my soul.
And all I got left with was nothing but a heavy toll.
Still shadows of you are painted in the inside of my eyes.
And the broken memories I got left are shipwrecked at shorelines.
They make their way past the docks and creep up from the sea.
They burn holes into my head, they won't let me be free.
And so he gives me one more chance to blow you to the wind.
But, I hold the truth to my chest for he does not know I've sinned.
Because it's your voice that I can't deafen and your face I can't erase.
And if I could, I'd let go now and leave without a trace.
What once seemed like forever no longer comes with ease.
So he hands me back my heart and soul as I fall to my knees.
The Game (01-10)
I lie awake, tantalizing words rushing through my head.
My eyes open wide as i see your ghost creeping towards my unmade bed.
It stands strongly before me then slowly drifts away.
I reach out my longing, yearning hand but cannot make it stay.
If you want me, let me know.
And if you don't, then let me go.
This game of cat and mouse is starting to turn sour.
And my mind is turning into dust with every passing hour.
My heart is weak and tired from pursuing yesterday.
With a new set of rules, tomorrow is a game I could play.
I heard your daunting voice call my name.
Undoubtedly, I followed the sound.
But when I finally reached it, you were nowhere to be found.
You're here. You're there. You can't stay in one place.
This cross-country love is fleeting, it's something I can't chase.
If you want me, it's too late.
And if you don't, I won't wait.
