in the past you left me
in the future you will be mine
I think you already know
I think you knew the whole time
so show me that you wanna stay
I'll show you what you never knew
I'll tell you beautiful lies
I've only got eyes for you
could you take off that disguise
can you see me with the light in your eyes
am I really gonna do this twice
it's not very wise
I need some advice
tell me I should walk away
or tell me what you'd rather do
tell me beautiful lies
like I've only got eyes for you
in the past you left me
but in the future you will be mine
you already know
you knew the whole time
so show me that you wanna stay
I'll show you what you never knew
tell you beautiful lies
I've only got eyes for you

don't wish you were dying
don't wanna be in Doris' shoes
don't wish you were dying
you've only got your head to lose
only your head
all in your head
don't think you're a martyr
setting off all five alarms
just think of your father
cried like a baby in your arms
all in your arms
all in your hands
just think of your father
you've only got your head to lose
only your head
all in your head
only your head
all in your hands

inside is only one side
with only side, did you touch me now?
outside is only one side
with only one side, can you judge me now?
inside the front of my mind
I'm using my pride, can you teach me how?
outside the comfortable zone
I took myself home, can you reach me now?
can you reach me now
teach me how
judge me now
touch me now
come to me
come clean to me
decide, if not suicide,
an ear to confide, a shoulder strong
she lied while I was one shy
a subject to my one happy song
inside the void in my chest
she gave me the best piece of my own
outside the hole in my head
I slept in that bed and I slept alone
and I slept alone
of my own
happy song
shoulder strong
come to me
come clean to me

She Knows My Name
03:44

she knows my name
heard her say it to her friends
when they were smoking cigarettes
from the glass I was looking through
all the stars in the sky shone only on you
you came to me to share a dance
I saw the curl of your smile with the way you'd glance
at my body as we moved to the beat
I left a mark where your neck and shoulder meet
and the warmth of your lips on mine
felt like there was no such thing as time

we stayed out late on summer's best night
we hid away from the policeman's flashlight
heart beats fast when the moon is full
you whispered that I was beautiful
your hands were soft but they did not miss
I can tell you now that it felt like this
a pretty poem on a page
a frightened rabbit in a cage
a rookie actor on the stage
a caliber we cannot gauge
but it doesn't seem like I read these things right
and not before my hopes reach great heights
when I think back to a time and place
when you pushed the hair away from my face
it all seemed serene, it felt like home
now I wait for you and I stay alone
I thought you knew
I should have known
just go home
your frame on top of me, your hands beneath my clothes
I tremble, lose my breath, my words become froze
just go home
glass bottles, flower petals left where we lay
you got this far, why would you wanna stay
just go home
and do you check the water, honey, or do you just dive
plenty of fish in the sea are ready to eat you alive
so let's just kill the nerves, another drink of wine
inhale, exhale, take my time
I take my time, inhale, exhale
everything will be fine, inhale, exhale
and when I say it's alright
honey, it's alright
just go home
I thought you knew
I should have known
just go home

Paris

cold shoulders make me wanna migrate to some place warm
I can't help but think about the country where you were born
I can't help but think about you all the time
the way you radiate with beauty like Paris at night
I hate the way I need you
my words never seem to reach you
my voice could never make a sound
oh, but you consumed me
put me in your mouth and chewed me
turned and spit me on the ground
I seemed to leave a sweet yet subtle taste behind
but you just rinsed it all out with a very fine wine
then you danced the night away and you woke up feeling fine
while I can't help but think about you all the time
I hate the way I want you
all the places I could've gone to
remind me that I was never yours
and you were never choosing
what I thought we were infusing
like we were Paris between the wars

I'm not fit to own anyone
you're not fit to be owned
we're so perfect for each other
I'm not fit to be number one
you're not fit to line 'em up and count
we're so perfect for each other

I don't know how to begin with a melody
I wish that I could erase you from my memory
I wish that I could be bigger than you, so you'd say
"Oh, what a mistake, what a mistake I have made..."
go far
so long
who we are
move along
I hope someday they play me on the radio
I hope to see your name up on a picture show
we've got what it takes to create the aches that can sell
if you can destroy a heart for the sake of art, may as well
