You Don't Know

You don’t know what it means
To be with me babe
And you don’t know what it means to stay
So let’s not with all the pretense babe
Let’s stop pretending
Because you don’t know what it means
To be with me
So don’t put your arms around me
If all you’re gonna do is say goodbye
Just like the rest of them
You say you’ll leave me
But tell me why
Tell my how
Am I supposed to change?
So maybe we should just forget it
We had our fun playing house
I know it wasn’t always easy
You don’t
You don’t
You don’t
You don’t
You don’t know what it means
To be with me babe
You don’t know what it means to stay
So let’s not with all the pretense babe
Let’s stop pretending
Because you don’t know what it means
To be with me

The Joke
04:34
|

|
I’m a phony
Oh I’m lonely
If you take it all from me
You’ll leave here with nothing
A sad stack of bones
I see her in the corner
What a shameful thing to boast
The most confused woman
Skin folding into skin
My body betrays me
What comfort can be felt
When all you know is empty
If you stare at me too long
Do I become you
Please give me both your hands
Tell me the day is over
Can you tell me what’s left
I hear you crying
In the middle of the night
Where are you going
Can you help me understand
What all the fuss is
All my senses are wrong
Oh what a way to live
I’m trapped within the twilight
Searching for reason
My legs don’t touch the ground
Yet I am sunken
You can’t push me till I fall
I’m already floating
If I scream will you come running
Will you come catch me?
All I wanted was love
But love won’t find me
Oh the sky is full of doves
I hear them flying
All I wanted was love
But love can’t find me
Even if my heart is numb
I swear I’m not hiding
All I needed was to hope
Who knew that I’d become the joke

Memory
04:00
|
|||
|
Where does it go
Do you reabsorb each vessel with some remainder of love?
Tucked here and there
Under a rib behind a knee
Left buzzing like a bee
Have you melted into my palm
Do I touch him with you
And if I let go
Does the hope of any future love
Come sliding off like a glove
Oh what a painful memory baby
Am I now or in between your love
I never wanted anything
I lost you once I’d do it all again
Maybe in time
You’ll dissipate
A most unfortunate fate
Consider my kiss
Not the words that were missed
I never know
Exactly what to say
When memory fails
Does muscle prevail
I’ll always reach for you
Is it like a fog
Your ghost will retreat
And I’ll go back to being me
As strange as that will be
Oh what a painful memory baby
Am I now or in between your love
I never wanted anything
I lost you once I’d do it all again

Eyes of a Man
03:02
|

|
I want to find
A way to be kind
My thoughts are clean
Though dirty from dreams
The words of a girl
Still live in my world
She says to be wholesome
Don’t you trust no one
Living in the eyes of a man
Living in the eyes of a man
Living in the eyes of a man
So what say you now
In the words of a woman
Stuck in a lie
With no sense of adulthood
He would fault me
For being so careless
Drunk from last night
Barefoot and naked
Living in the eyes of a man
Living in the eyes of a man
Living in the eyes of a man
I’ll find a way out of my mind
I’ll find a way
A way to be kind
I’ll find my way
I’ll find my way
Now get your judgements out of my head
I don’t need you
I’ll choose me instead
I’ll find my way
I’ll find my way
Young dirty girl now don’t you feel free
You’re a daddy’s girl
Now get on your knees
I’ll find my way
I’ll find my way
Come spread your legs and trust me my friend
It’s a modern world
And I’m a modern man
I’ll find my way
I’ll find my way

Loveless
04:25
|
|||
|
Endlessly waiting
In my room
Sometimes in dreams
And always in different corners
All of the world
Standing on groundless cliffs
Swimming in bottomless oceans
Diving
Falling
Struggling to be free of freedom
There are no limits to this crush
This pain upon my chest
For you will not leave
And I cannot go
I’m stuck in a loveless blackhole
I’m stuck in a loveless blackhole
I can not write on your paper
Any longer
For if I do I will surely never want to stop
And the ink that flows will soon run out
I am drowning in a dream
I can’t sleep
It is all too much for me
Oh my sweet
Tell me where you wanna go
I will take you there
Tell me what you wanna be
You can be it there
There are no words left to speak
I’m a freak
I’m just in it way too deep
Oh forgive me please
Leave me by the cherry tree
Under the sun
Don’t forget to eat the fruit
After I’m gone

Hold Me Close
05:03
|
|||
|
Summertime I
Distract myself
The bottle my friend
I can forget myself
But then I see your face
Or I hear your name
And I remember what my
Life was like before
I wake up at the early dawn
In a strange bed where
I don’t belong
Do you feel the same way too?
Can’t you see I’m still
In love with you
In love with you
In love with you
Maybe in winter
When it gets cold
We’ll see each other
In the greying snow
And you’ll hold me close
How I missed your warmth
So hold me
Hold me close
How I missed your warmth
So hold me, hold me
Hold me close
How I missed your warmth

Window
04:36
|

|
Waiting by the window
Turning my head
Spinning in my head
You said you were going for a walk
Around the block
An hour has passed
And I’m living in the past
So lost
And that face
That kind and lovely face
I know so well
He’s disappeared and there’s nothing in his place
But a shell
While I’m looking for you
Looking for you
Looking for you
And I’m waiting on you
Waiting on you
Waiting on you
What comes next
A sad girl in her bed
Even in my sleep
He’s gotta hold on me
And so they say that time
Will heal the wounds of loves
Broken heart
How can that be
When all this time has passed
And I’m still torn apart
While I’m looking for you
Looking for you
Looking for you
And I’m waiting on you
Waiting on you
Waiting on you
I’m still waiting by the window
(Don’t know why I can’t let go)
While I’m looking for you
Looking for you
Looking for you
I can’t sleep
You’ve gotta hold on me
(And I’m waiting on you, waiting on you, waiting on you)
In my mind
I see your blue eyes
I can’t sleep
You’ve gotta hold on me
(I’m still waiting)
In my mind
(I’m still waiting)
I see your blue eyes

New York, Yesterday
04:40

Francis my love
It snowed here
In New York yesterday
I walked in Chinatown
Hoping to catch a glimpse
Of your black hair
But you’re in LA
Or Italy
Not thinking of me
This I know
I tried to forget you
I even found myself another man
But it’s you who changed
Everything that I thought about love
And it’s you who I
Compare every man to
Remember the time
That we got drunk
And you told me you wanted
To give us a chance
But then you followed it with
Saying you were in love
With a photographer living
In California
My jealousy burned like a drop of boiling water
It feels like a wild river rapid
Just churning inside
With nowhere to go
Well maybe our love
Can only exist a night at a time
And maybe it’s too great
Too big and too bright
So we’ll take small steps until it’s right
Or until it dies
Yeah we’ll take small steps until it’s right
Or until it dies
Francis my love
It snowed here
In New York yesterday

Underneath
03:41
|
|||
|
I retrieve you from my thoughts
Buried underneath
Buried so deep
Underneath
My regret
And my heart
Buried underneath
Buried so deep
I hold my love there
I hold my words there too
And I don’t know why
I never shared either with you
I have no answers
I have no reason
The subtlety of my heart
Cannot be described
Under sheets
Or with silent loyalty
Only words can be believed
But they too can be broken
So what is left
What I can rely upon
Do I have choice
Or is this my voice
My intuition
My forgiveness
Will I bury it all underneath
Like my jealousy
Our wreckage will be brought shore
With only the rocks
And my beaten heart
Left among the ruins

Again
04:30
|
|||
|
I haven’t stopped thinking about it
Since the last time we kissed
You standing leaning over me and I
Dumbfounded wanting you to say more
You said
That maybe I’m just a man
Maybe I’m just jealous
You said
That maybe I’m just confused
Maybe I need to kiss you
Again
The room was dark but I felt your eyes on me
Icy blues watching every move
You asked me to stay but it was too late
Oh blondie you can’t have me
You said
That maybe I’m just a man
Maybe I’m just jealous
You said
That maybe I’m just confused
Maybe I need to kiss you
Again
What was that that you told me
You say you wanna kiss me
You say you wanna touch me
I just want you to love me
