Drowning

I looked into her eyes
The moment was paralyzed
by fear, by scent
I learned to feel again
Pouring over a book
an empty place to look
for life, for truth
I couldn't find the line
that meant so much to me
It almost set me free
to fly, to grow,
I realized what I know
Now I can't return
these memories that burn
conceal, they rot,
what piece of heart was left
In the wake of this wave
drowns the thing I crave
The warmth, the touch,
Your face on my mind
If you let me in
Maybe we could begin
To heal, to try,
despite my foolish pride
That led us down to this
Without even a kiss
Good-bye, hold on
This has gone on too long

You Don't Have To Go

I know it's getting late but
You don't have to go
It's late on a February night
We sit inside by my dim desk light
You're looking out the window waiting for that car
The headlights flashing but it's not your ride tonight
No, they won't show
You're looking out the window still as if there's hope
I tried to amuse you
Making shadow puppets by my dim desk light
Your mind is out the window still, it's on that car
The headlights flashing and the shadows racing
Oh, it's alright
You know if you want to you can stay here for the night
I know it's getting late but
You don't have to go
February night turns to February dawn
You didn't have to go

Jack's Broken Heart
03:41
|

I am Jack's broken heart
pumping silently and unsure
Blood flowing in and out of me
never stopping by to say hello
Motionless motion
That's what it feels like
Half-smiling uninviting so long
You can't cheer up an empty heart
with a clown's approach
I've floated around
Now I'm drowning in blue
I need someone
Going out of my mind
I don't know what to do
Could you see me through this?
A hopeless head is an abandoned head
Every face it sees is an ugly face
An ugly face is a pretty face
on the inside
but you can see with tears in your eyes
Welcome me with your mat
'Cause I'm knocking for you
I need someone
Put my heart in a bottle
Advanced it to you
Could you see me through this?
You can't cheer up an empty heart
but you can comfort it
Oh somehow I'm going to reach you
Teach me
I don't know what to do
If I am blue I'll be a blue bird
flying to reach you
Please leave your window cracked
I've floated around
Now I'm drowning in blue
I need someone
Going out of my mind
I don't know what to do
Could you see me through this?
Welcome me with your mat
'Cause I'm knocking for you
Could you feed me your love?
Put my heart in a bottle
advanced it to you
Could you see me through this?

Sip of Wine

Send the nurse away
She can't cure my pain
All the doors are closed
I can't get into heaven no more
I'm feeling like broken glass
I've gotta get me a piece of ass
I'm looking at you girl
Take another sip of my wine
My looks may be deceiving
Like I don't want misbehaving
But if you're randy, babe
Take another sip of my wine
Send the nurse away
She can't cure my pain
All the doors are closed
I can't get into heaven no more
Can't get into heaven no more
