Treetops

I'm searching for my lost love
He's come from up above the treetops
He's my lost hippie from another city
Another time, I hope he missed me
He came down so slowly and slowly kissed me
He grabbed my hand and there we stood
I said, "Grab my heart, I thought we could
Run forever
We'll race the blinding light,
Sleep through the endings
Of all the bitter fights
Wake up in the morning
Like it's all been done
Before you know it,
We'll be in love, embraced
Above the setting sun
Above the treetops"

I got the window cracked
Just enough to feel the cool air on my back
I got the curtains drawn
Just enough to let in some sun
And wake me up
I hold you, just tight enough
Just tight enough to feel a live
To take the edge off this numbness
But I refuse to let you mean so much
To my life, I won't let you take another second of it
Another second of it

Untitled..

You've got the sky above your shoulders
And the earth beneath your feet
Do you ever begin to wonder
If, to someone else, you're obsolete?
Just another heartbeat

You've got the future in front of your eyes
And the past behind your back
You've got to stop
And take a second (think)
What can I do to pick up the slack?

See The Stars

Chasing the sunset
Stopped for a second
To catch my breath
Take a quick photograph
To never forget this feeling of hope
Hope that the world will stay beautiful
Stay full of love
Save someone for everyone
Have a place for everyone
To rest their heads
Heads up high
Heads up high

I am on my knees
Leave some beauty
Some love
For my loved ones
And me

What if
The next generation
Could never see the shining sun
Through the light
Couldn't see the beautiful jade forest
Through the tainted trees
See the shining stars
Through the spaceships in the sky
See the stars
See the stars

Get Going

I woke up from a heavy sleep
A deep, deep dream
Rolled out of bed
And onto the floor
Threw on some kicks, grabbed my keys
And I was out the door
I found my car
Two blocks from where I thought it was
Got in, punched the gas
Just because
The wind blowing through my hair
There's nothing like fresh air
To calm you down
And turn that frown right side round

You gotta get, get, get, get going
Before you just can't go anymore
You gotta get, get, get, get going
Grab your keys, you're out the door

Cruising down the highway
I've never felt so far from home
Wind blowing through my hair
I've never felt to relieved to be alone
The seat beside me
Left empty
You've evaded me
For eternity
Now I can be left
To fall to pieces privately

This open road
Has never felt so tight to me
I can't breathe
I can't see
The clouds are closing in over me

October Sunrise

The tops of the hills
On the right
Have been kissed ever so gently
By this October sunrise
I can see the first half
Of the colors of the rainbow
Ever so brightly
Shining in your eyes
I feel the rays beginning to
Touch my skin
The sudden surrealness of the moment
Is making me grin
Second by second
This October sunrise
Is making the world come alive

A spectrum of colors
Appears in the clouds up above
I'm falling in love
Under this October sunrise

I see you
You look so familiar
Staning on the other side of my room
You're looking at me
Like I'm supposed to know you from before
You're making it very hard for me to breathe

Three minutes, three minutes
Til it's done
And our only chance (our only shot)
Escapes us

I can feel your embrace
My heart's starting to race
Your eyes have caught mine
I think it's time (yes, it's time)
To break the rules
And color outside the lines

Could It Be

I won't say it
Trust me
I've already thought it
Fought it
Through a million times
Deep down, all the way
To the vine
Of this love for you
That's growing deep inside
Of me

Could it be, could it be
That after all I've done (all I've done)
You'd still stand by me
Could it be, could it be
That I still love you so
Oh no, Oh no
Could it be

Unwound, Unbound

Written August 25th, 2008

March 22, 2009: I just fixed this one! There was a TON of type-o's.

The waves
Will crash down on our arms
They will carry away our hearts
Tangled up and lost in the middle
Of nowhere and everywhere
All at once
Cause our hearts
Filled with faces and feelings
Are bigger than all our worlds and words combined
Filled with mixed emotions
Waiting for an explosion
I've become your flotation device
Per my own device

Ropes, unwound, pull me back
I've fallen off track
With you

I never thought I'd go down this road
Would've thought I'd go down this road?
I never thought my own feelings would be
Unknown to my own heart
It's not your fault, it's not your fault
I've become unbound, I have no longer found
A way to fill your arms

Ropes, unwound, pull me back
I've fallen off track
With you (it's true)

Fill the clouds
With laughter
Let it come down on us
I trust you know what to do
To have it all is to know that you do
It's true
To get you back, to regain the slack
Please don't come unbound from me

Ropes, unwound, untrue, pull me back
I've fallen off track
With you

Ropes, untrue, un-you, I'm under you
Your words, pull me back
I've lost my track back to you

Why The Stars Shine

I'll tell you, I'll tell you
I'm right this time
I've thought it out thoroughly
My darling, I'd bet my last dime
That I can tell you why the stars shine

I was positive I knew it before
When I found out the truth
I nearly fell to the floor
What's the use, in living
If you can't look to the sky and see the stars shine?

Here's the deal
When you were mine
And I used to look deeply into your eyes
I could see the little white lights (even in the daytime)
Now it's all part of the past, and I no longer see the stars shine

I'll tell you, I'll tell you why
The stars shine
I've tested many theories
This scientific question has become a part of me
The secret lies in the iris
The door to the soul, your soul, my soul
My darling, someone once told me
They could see
Little white specs in my eyes, you see
And in that very second, it all made sense
The stars in the sky
Shined the second your eyes met mine

Even If It Kills Me..

I'm breaking down doors
Busting open roof tops
Sliding on floors
And pushing away rain drops
Losing myself
Losing my mind
Going crazy
I think it's time to apologize

I'm sorry
I'll stop, I'll stop
I'm sorry
I'll stop, I'll stop
I'm sorry
I'll stop, I'll stop
Now

You've gotta tell me
When I'm pushing you too hard
I can't see
That I'm playing all my cards (to soon)
I'll let you go
Set it all free
Even if it kills me
It's time for me to run away (away)

I'm sorry
I'll stop, I'll stop
I'm sorry
I'll stop, I'll stop
I'm sorry
I'll stop, I'll stop
Now

Just To Be Heard

Hello, my love
Take a seat
Take a step back
I've got a question
To ask you
If I spoke the truest words
That have ever tumbled off my lips
Would you listen?
Would you really, really listen?
Would you gaze into my eyes
And give me
The fondest opinion
Your brain could ponder?
If I spoke words
That weren't meant to be heard
Would they flow past your ears
Or would you hear me out?
Just hear me out

I've found myself
Screaming
Just to be heard
I often find myself
Dreaming
Just to be heard

So, my love
What do you think?
What do you think of me?
Cause I've got this feeling
That I've lost you
Your hands were the sweetest hands
That have ever been laid upon my hips
And to lose you now
My god, to lose you now
It just rips my heart apart
And to have you never again
By my side
Would blow my mind
So make me a promise
Tell me that you really want this
And that you'll never leave my side
Do you heard me now?
Hear me now

I've found myself
Screaming
Just to be heard
I often find myself
Dreaming
Just to be heard
My god
What I would give just to be heard

Heart

I finally found
What I've been looking for
It's not in my posession
It's out of my reach
But now I know
What I've been searching for
Taken from me a few years back
Ever sinceI've been lost and confused
Until today, in a daze
I went searching for something I no longer have

So many words
Cannot describe the place I need the most
I used to call my own
The place I used to call my home

Lately I've been so heartless
Cause home is where my heart is
The ceilings
The walls
Of where I stand now
And lay to rest my head
They don't tell me how to live
In unfamiliar surroundings
The tall buildings
Are the only ones that I can still see
Further than the tip of my nose
I get that feeling in the tips of my toes
I need to run
To find a new place to call my own
But nothing fills the gap

So many words
Cannot describe the place I need the most
I used to call my own
The place I used to call my home

I've had a heart
From the start
Since the start of this whole mess
Restless days and nights
Searching for something better than this
The wheels will spin
The wheel will turn
But I go nowhere
These place are no where to me
I don't feel the same
I keep looking for change
Change in me
Change in the trees
Change in the seas
Change lying on a brand new door step

So many words
Cannot describe the place I need the most
I used to call my own
The place I used to call my home

Truly, Truly

Truly, truly
I do love you
Truly, truly
I do miss your smile
Truly, truly
It's been too long
Truly, truly
I think it's time you came around

Truly, truly
There's no time like the present
Truly, truly
There's one thing I forgot to mention
Truly, truly
You're amazing like no other has been
Or ever can be
Truly, truly
You light up my world
Shining so bright

Truly, truly
This is a first for me, as for you
Truly, truly
I can't see
Truly, truly
I'm starting to wonder
Truly, truly
Searching for somewhere to go
When you don't return

Truly, truly, my darling
I'll be your words
To be incredibly close to your lips
Truly, truly
I'll be whatever you need me to be
Only to be needed by you
Truly, truly
You are everything I need
But truly, truly
There is a tomorrow
It will bring sorrow
If I'm lost
Of the one
I truly
Love

Possibly Crazier

I'm not making this very easy for you
Am I?
As I pull you in and push you away
What can I say?
After all these weeks, these days, these months
I'm still crazy about you
Possibly crazier whan I was way back when

I want you, but I don't, and it changes by the
Moment
It floats and falls with the rise and the fall
Of the sun
Nights, evenings, noons, mornings and sunrises
All go by so slowly without you
And the silky smooth touch of your fingertips

I think I'm crazy
Just a little bit crazier than before
I'm ten times crazier
For every mile between me and you
And it's all my fault
