There we were: a big room in a small town.
There was music and costumes all around.
Introduced by a new friend I hardly knew.
And through the night, I would never hear a word from you.
There we were in a car on a barren road.
You were sending signals that I struggled to decode.
Later talked to a new friend I hardly knew.
And through the night, all the conversation led to you.
You tried to push me out but I,
I stayed strong.
I thought that you would change your mind...
I was wrong.
There I was on the couch staring at the time,
Trying not to let my anticipation climb.
I had bought you a ticket for another show.
Then you called me and told me that you wouldn't go.
I sat in disbelief as I hung up the phone.
I had no other choice but to,
To go alone.
I hope that some day soon you'll see...
What could've lay ahead.
I just don't want to leave these things...
Left unsaid.

It's All The Same

Is it so wrong that I want to see you every day?
I want to see you walk my way yet again.
And I don't know if it's your glasses or your eyes or your hair,
But something makes me barely care.
And all I need is company.
And I'm sorry if you want to take it slow.
But something in my body is saying, "No."
Is it so wrong that I think about you all the time?
And I'm thinking that this is a sign of something good or very bad.
And I'm sorry that I get so insecure.
But you make me so confused and so unsure.
The thoughts come up when the sun goes down,
Same bad thoughts in a brand new town.
I guess it's all the same.
I feel so down when I should feel high,
Looking at the ground when I miss the sky.
And I'm sorry that I get so insecure.
But you've got me so confused and so unsure.
There're some things in my mind you'll never have.
But there's something that I want that's out of grasp.
The thoughts come up when the sun goes down,
The same bad thoughts in a brand new town.
I guess it's all the same.
I feel so down when I should feel high,
Looking at the ground when I miss the sky.

Reality Check

She said, "I must confess, you really ought to think less."
I humbly agreed and to my knees,
You've got some sort of power over me.
I said, "Before you see the rest, you should know it's a mess."
She said, "You're cute. And yes, I've got some power over you."
And I knew from the moment that I met you,
Some day I'd be trying to forget you.
And all the things that you're hiding and you won't show,
It was more than I ever wanted to know.
I looked in the mirror and said, "I can see it from here,
I'm gonna have an inkling to stay.
And I don't really think that that's okay."
Can someone turn to tell me I'm not where I should be?
So I can smile and say, "Perhaps I'm happy this way."
I would love to see inside your mind,
Please help me believe in another time or place where we'd be happy,
Then I would see.

That night you cried and wouldn't tell me why,
There was nothing I could do.
And I really tried to get inside,
But you wouldn't let me through.
Everything you've loved has gone away.
You're destined to your separate ways.
But you should know I'm here to stay.
She said she lied to herself to find something she could hold on to.
And I'm terrified that I'm seeing something similar in you.
All those things behind you,
They're nothing worth holding onto.
You don't need anything to bring you down.
And though it's looking pretty bleak right now,
Good things will come around.
Good things will come around.
Good things will come around.
Good things will come around.

My Song 20

If my head goes,
Would my body know?
If my heart bleeds,
Will my love leave?
Because, at the least, if we're lucky...
It won't mean a thing.
And until it's over, the least we can do is just sing.
And I'm quite amazed that you'd go through this trouble for me.
So, when do we get to the part where we live happily?
If I lie still,
Let my mind fill,
With you held close,
Would my body know?
I'm stuck in the past and the future's depressing to me.
I guess it's because I'm just not where I thought I would be...
