all at once

all at once, the world can overwhelm me. there's almost nothing that you could tell me that could ease my mind. which way will you run when it's always all around you? and the feeling lost and found you again, a feeling that we have no control. around a sun some say its gonna be the new hell, some say it's still too early to tell, some say its really ain't no myth at all. keep asking ourselves are we really strong enough. there's so many things that we got too proud of. i wanna take the preconceived out from underneath your feet, we could shake it off and instead we'll plant some seeds. we'll watch em' as they grow and with each new beat from your heart the roots grow deeper, the branches will they reach for what? nobody really knows. but underneath it all theres this heart all alone. what about is gone, and it really won't be so long? sometimes it feels like a heart is no place to be singing from at all. theres a world we've never seen, theres still hope between the dreams. the weight of it all could blow away with a breeze. if your waiting on the wind, don't forget to breathe cause as the darkness gets deeper we'll be sink in as we reach for love. at least something we could hold. but i'll reach to you from where time just cant go.

and the funny thing is it has no end. i try to call you up at 10pm, youre in a crowded train, your hanphone rang. you didnt grab that phone, but i can see you through the phone. and i'm wide awake at home, so i think i seem like a cat and hope you don't catch the bourbon on my breath.

i'll catch a cab outside on fourty second street and the cars fly through the avenue. i came to your block and i hear a voice, then another voice. so shit, she's not alone. and my heart sinks like a stone. and the tears won't even come. i feel so numb, so swept aside, so dumb. when the words are wrong and my patience gone, dont tell me that mean you're moving on.

in the morning, you called my phone, i hear you talking in the day, your words so dry, my face so sad, said "i broke your heart", oh yeah i bet. i'll think, your friends all dont even know me. i get the strangest looks, from that dressy crowd and though, they must think they have every reason to. when the words are wrong and you're hanging on another guy's arm does this mean you're moving on?

falling

we met at a online, you were wearing esprit. i'm not good at playing it cool, you said i was funny. i spent all my money then your friend keeps acting like a fool. when we said goodbye, know that i can't lie, i never thought i'd see you again. that was a mistake & now my heart is taken, it's too hard to comprehend.that i'm falling, hoping that you feel this way too. sitting here waiting for you. expert of illusion, i just have to get use to it, thought i had it all worked out. love was just a stage name, watch it as it became something i can't live without. then to my suprise you opened my eyes i thought i was empty inside. now everytime you're near, stormy skies become clear, now theres nowhere left to hide.

taylor

they say taylor was a good girl, never want to be late. complain, express ideas in her brain. working on the full shift, passing out the hangers, you're gonna have to ask her if you want to change here. well mommy's little sweetheart is quite a little secret, smoking on the streets now, never gonna keep it. it's quite an imposition and now she's only wishing that she would have listened to the words they said. poor taylor. she just wanders around, unaffected by the cold night chills, and she'll pretend that she's somewhere else, so far and clear. about two thousand miles from here. well peter patrick pitter patters on the window, but sadly taylor won't let him in. poor old pete's got nothing cause he's been falling, and somehow taylor knows just where he's been. he thinks that singing on sunday's gonna save his soul, now that saturday's gone. and sometimes he thinks that he's on his way, but i can see that his brake lights are on. such a tough enchilada, filled up with nothing, giving what you got to give to get a dollar bill. used to be a limber chicken, times have been a ticking, now she's finger licking to the man, with the shades & shoes, flying on his skateboard, only stopping by on his way to a better world. if taylor finds a better world, then taylor's gonna run away.

losing keys

don't worry, everybody in the room notices you. sit back and relax the night is early. we are about to over do it. so come and tell me something that you've already told me, cause everybody's heard all of your stories. i hope that some of them are true. i've been losing lots of keys lately, i don't know what that means but maybe i'll be better off with things that can't be locked at all. i've been feeling kind of sea sick lately, see you reaching to me gonna save me. you and me, i would much rather take the fall. the world has its ways to quiet us down. down comes our spirits again, but down comes our strength to lift us up and again. been going up wind now for too long, forget how to let go. seems to hard, to late now to turn around

monsoon

i feel sorrow for the fear, and everything it brings, wonder if it will ever sleep. i know you understand, because you briefly look away. focusing on nothing, so now everything is clear. cause there's no one to blame, you got no place to hide. it's only in your mind. and i saw you in amazement, stumbling through the day. you told me time never waits. what is that supposed to mean? all of life is in one drop of the ocean, waiting to go home. and if the moon can turn the tides, it can pull the tears, and take them from our eyes. and make them into monsoons. sooner or later they'll weep their way back to the sea. gonna finally be free, free for a while. until they break like waves of sorrow always do, all into time. because time never waits. daddy don't day dream again, just help me to believe and then show me that there's more than the meantime. sonny, do you hear the sound? you will feel it when it breaks. you will know it when its gone. how else can i explain? because it's only the pain, it's coming straight through, come to remind. cross cut to you, in amazement, stumbling through the day. you tell me that time never waits, that's ok cause i don't wait for time.

the girl
you know you're stunning, you're absolutely stunning and i'm running always running. and now i'm crying, you know only because i'm caring and if you were more daring, maybe you'd stop staring. come over and talk to me and tell me about how you've been waiting so patiently. and how you tried but i just turned away and i'll say, "yeah well you know, i'm shy that way"

the guy
you know you're stunning, you're absolutely stunning but you're always running, but i'll catch up to you. the way you keep your distance is keeping my interest so i'll keep it persistent so maybe someday, someway, somehow, sometime we'll get together and we'll break it down and i'll ask, "why gotta be so shy, gotta be that way?" maybe, i like it that way.

the girl
so there's always too much talking and i wanna just keep walking but i keep staring. though i may not know the right things to say i'll get it out to you one day
