Dry

I opened my mouth to speak
But nothing came out came out of me
I’d write you a letter on paper
If my pen had any ink
Well it don’t but that’s a poor excuse
I could find one if I really wanted to
But these days I’m empty and I ain’t got nothing for you
I ain’t got nothing for you
I’m feelin dry and you ask me why
‘Cause I like to be consumed
My inmost fear is that I’ll be left here
And I won’t know what to do
Maybe we should take a trip
So I can get a grip on us
‘Cause I need a new place and I need some more space
There’s too many people and I feel unstable here
I’m so unstable here

Remember When

Remember when we were kids
It was much easier back then
We had our doubts but stuck to our truths
Used to be easier to do
Though I feel much older now
Still don’t feel more stable anyhow
I don’t know if my head’s on right
I don’t know if I’m losing my sight
Remember when we thought we had sinned
When flesh gave into skin on skin
We quickly left though I wish we had stayed
In such sweet disarray
And what am I to do now that I don’t have you
And what is there to lose now that I’ve already lost you
And what is there to say you never felt that way
You never felt that way

Don't You Tell Me

Can I take them back?
All the things I said
I should have known better
Than to pull you in like this
But I thought I wanted love
I thought I needed care
But I should have known better
Should have known that I don’t want your name to bear
So don’t you tell me that you love me
You don’t mean that you don’t mean that
And don’t you tell me I’m the one you’ve always wanted
You don’t mean that please don’t mean that
Maybe I should leave
All these thoughts on your machine
‘Cause I know I cannot take you
I cannot take the stare of your perplexity
But please just understand
When I first took your hand
It didn’t mean to me what it meant to you
Now I’m in this mess again

For Now

These mountains hear me better
Than I’ve ever heard myself
Why won’t they tell me what to do
These dark nights see me clearer
Than I’ve ever seen myself
Why won’t they show me how to move
Oh it’s been six months today
That I have held your sweet face to mine
But what does time what does it say
You know I love you but that’s all I can give
‘Cause one of these days I’m scared I’ll leave
One of these days I’m scared I’ll quit
These heavy hearts can be so much to hold
But for now I wont go
No for now I won’t go
I listen to your breathing
What are you dreaming of tonight
I throw my silent words to the stars
And shutting my eyes softly
Hardly holding onto you
The sky the moon the room go dark
Oh it’s been three years today
And your head is hard and my heart’s gone away from yours
So this time what do you say
