i'll wait at your old house on the rooftop if the new people won't open up i'll pace the all-around the antenna so you can pick up my signals like the ones i missed when the old people closed down i'll wait at your schoolyard not like anyone's waiting for me how many more lives are left before you come home? skywrite your answer in stone fruit grey against sugarblushed daydream-light so there's proof leave your explanation high, high, high, high on some browned-out treehouse roof and we'll read it over & over together until it makes sense until it sounds right

so now at last the things i couldn't say have risen up, rebelled, and made their way and thought i'd not have stopped them if i tried the little bit of effort might have left me with a little bit of pride and here are all the things i couldn't be they stripped their shadows down, for only you to see and every wish i ever lost to fear each is now a second a frozen fraction of a too-fast year why are we afraid of love? why do we hate what we're afraid of? sometime remind me never to recall sometime design me not to tell you all of which was washed away with just one wave and now i'm gonna give you all the things i couldn't save... why are we afraid of love? why do we hate what we're afraid of? it's just like touching water for the first time- you never really get as wet again...

the end starts here hope i can clear up all my fear please help decide which moment i'd have never died drink drank then drunk sink sank then sunk it's all so punk! i'd say so far that as things are i'm just a star i love to cry i just hope i don't find out why tears in my salt it's not my fault that it's my fault 1 + 1 + 1 more 1 + 1 + 1 more if me could be he she or we i'd choose all 3...

Just as soon As you happened to me All around I was drowned in honey Slow, sweet world That you poured me into Warm and swirled Colours I never knew I am.. In your hands Close them fast Swallow my fall You are my all you are my all Autumn grey When my life became you Stars, they tried But could never name you The past I'd trade For this two to one me Just to drown In this flood of honey I am.. In your hands Close them fast Swallow my fall You are my all you are my all

Dress 08:25
Thank you so much it was so sweet of you to ask me inside of you The warm you are is new but I know it like the day Now I can sleep, now I can say -- May I dress you in this song? Velvet words I choose I think you'd look so pretty if you'd just try on my hues I was born to be your earth you to be my air Am I wrong to think this song is something you might wear? (now I can sleep...) In your kiss, I taste no fear Bathing in your afterglow for long after you're here Water-girl, baptize me in your deep here in you I make my home; now I can sleep... Let me dress you in my song Whispered tears of lace Could you look more perfect as they softly veil your face? I was born to be your earth you to be my air When you long, put on this song and nevermore be bare... Let me be all that you wear (now I can sleep...)
