I will never go back to the way
I was before you
Never go back
To that place
Don't you just really love the way
We communicate
Healthy relationships are great!
I've never been so in love
You can't decide if it's enough
Cause loving me is scary stuff
You are everything
I will never go back to the days
I'd lie to myself
Never go back to that place
Boy I just really love the way
I know you're the one
Feeling secure is really fun!
I've never been so in love
Your demons are waking up
Cause loving me is scary stuff
You are everything
It's okay don't cry
We'll be alright

Take Care

I spent the last year as a ghost
You didn’t even know
You were supposed to be the one
The one that noticed most
And I tried
screaming out
Trapped inside
This burning house
You walked under my ladder
Drowning in the neon light
Had another
Another girl by your side
And I hope
You take care
Of yourself
When I’m not there
Cause I felt so alone
Whenever you’d get home
I felt so alone
Whenever you’d get home
Not again no not again

am I alone
in feeling alone
cause I haven’t got a call
from a human being in a while
You never said
what’s in your head
I had to pry it out
like a tooth decaying in the summer
and all the people at the party
just want to go home
you said you really liked me
so where did we go wrong
am I alone
in feeling alone
cause all the butterflies
are unconscious
from carbon monoxide
and after that night
it wasn’t quite right
cause all of your words
were distorted underneath the water
all the people at the party
are starting to go home
you said you really liked me
well then why am I alone
I miss your sensitivity
but we were never meant to me
miss your sensitivity

How does the man
Up on the moon
Feel at night
Watching cartoons
Black and white
Day and night
While watching his lover
Move on too soon
Gathered the stars
To light her way home
Shining white light
Outside of his bones
She walked in
locked the door
Closing the curtains
Trusting no more
She ripped off her sheets
threw them on chairs
She blasted her speakers
Cut off her own hair
Cut off her own hair
Cause you were never there
So I cut off my own hair

Keep It To Myself

You hardly say a word
When you invite me over
I have so much to say
Now that I’ve gotten older
But I’ll keep it to myself
I’m afraid of what you’ll do
And we’ll dance around the subject like it’s 1992
I pressed my ear against the crack in the doorway
Bits and pieces of your sorrow filtered through
But I’ll keep it to myself
You’re afraid of what I’ll do
And I’ll dream of spiders on your belly creeping in your shoes
On a stormy night you left me all alone
It surprised me when he picked up the phone
Buzzing TV in a dark lit room I hid all of the wooden spoons
I never saw the sunlight shine upon your face

I’ve been waiting for so long
You know know the words to all my songs
Why don’t you come closer dear
I wanna nibble on your ear
And tell you things you wanna hear
You really have nothing to fear
Except for my sharp pointy fangs
I’ll suck all the blood from your brain
But I like the way you look at me and
You’ve got great personality
And I really don’t want you to leave
If I wasn’t so damn thirsty
We would dance with no shoes
And you would be my disco dude
I can’t decide what to do
Cause Vampires get lonely too
Da da da da da da da
Now that I’ve found you I can’t let go
And now there’s something you need to know
When you fell asleep last night
I may have had a little bite
And I really don’t wanna start a fight
But you might avoid direct sunlight
Da da da da da da
I can’t take back what I did to you
Cause now you are a vampire too

See What's Inside

Do you remember
The breath you took
Before your first kiss
Do you remember
Constantly licking your lips
Don’t ignore the feelings
That rise up through your being
I put my trust
in people who
weren’t good to me
and I wasted time
caring what they thought about me
don’t ignore the feelings
that rise up through your being
And now I wonder
If the world is spinning faster
Or am I just getting older
And perceiving that time moves faster
Cause there’s so many things
I still want to do
And there’s so many times
I didn’t follow through
So now’s the time
Oh now’s the time
So now’s the time
Oh now’s the time
Now’s the time
Oh now’s the time
So now’s the time
Oh now’s the time
And time is just a construct of your mind
And time is everlasting
But not for you
Not for you
Not for you
Not for you
And I wanna die
In your arms tonight
Wouldn’t that be nice
And you always knew
I’d end up here tonight
And everything’s all right
Don’t ignore the feelings
That rise up through your being
And now it seems
That you probably resent me
And that’s okay
You weren’t in love with me anyway
And now my life is open wide
And I can’t wait to see what’s inside

Feels So Good

It feels so good
It feels so good
It feels so good
It feels so good I can’t control myself
It feels so good I can’t control myself
Why don’t you stand a little closer to me baby
Why don’t you stand right here
That night I knocked on your door
My guts all over the floor
You weren’t afraid of the mess
My heart jumped out of my chest
It rolled around on the ground
We didn’t make a sound
Your hands all covered in glue
I think I’m sticking with you
What were you thinking on that night
we touched those power lines
I could have died and been alright
I’ve never had someone that looks at me
the way that you do
I must admit it’s kind of new
That night I knocked on your door
My guts all over the floor
You weren’t afraid of the mess
My heart jumped out of my chest
It rolled around on the ground
We didn’t make a sound
Your hands all covered in glue
I think I’m sticking with you
It feels so good
It feels so good
It feels so good
