I keep your picture by my bed for when im feeling sad
and i dont know why i would be.
the way your smile looks so real
i feel like i could start to understand your grace.
and i dont understand why you’re
not here with me.
and i dont even wanna know where else
you’d be.

cause i have photographs and memories of the times
when you weren’t on my mind and i was alone.
and i have poetry and drawings of my life
when you weren’t on my side and i didn’t know
just what is love…

writing moments on the wall with different colors
keeps my mind away from missing you.
and i can’t wait to fall asleep to slip into my dreams
where we can dance upon a star..
and i will be as patient as a boy in love could ever be.
cause i don’t feel like i was real until you were
a part of me.

CHORUS

i need you back, i need you back
i need you here.
i need your smile, i need your eyes
i need you dear.
cause every line on your face makes a beautiful maze
for my eyes to trace…

tryin to figure out which way i want this to go
do i want it to be happy or sad or fast or slow?
tryin to work it out just what it is i feel
do i wanna rock you, shock you, soothe you, or move you??

i just wanna write you in a song
put your smile on paper so you can sing along
i just wanna bottle the sun
keep your light a secret i can find when you are gone…

you are like a beautiful tree
with roots in the ground so deep they could never be seen
im a leaf that’s ready to fall
and the wind’s gonna blow me someday away from it all..

CHORUS

most people when they can’t get away
it makes them more than a little crazy
well i’m the one that can never stay
but i’ll always have you with me in this song…

CHORUS

You liked it so much in the city
You know I could not stand it there
You loved to get lost in the people
And pretend that they really cared

You know you’re such a bad imposter
Hiding your wings beneath your coat
I watched your footprints making patterns
Away from me into the snow

Now I don’t believe in nothing anymore…
Cuz love is permanent *not* temporary
And it’s driven straight into our chest
And buried much too deep
To just pull out like *weeds in a garden*
It’s permanent
Well I’m sorry

So lately I’ve been going crazy
Trying to get you off my mind
Cuz thoughts of you hang just like pictures
And gather dust over the time

We hung them up just like real lovers
And drove our nails into the wall
Cuz we thought they’d be there forever
We weren’t permanent at all

And it’s getting much too hard to see it now…
Cuz love is permanent *not* temporary
And it’s driven straight into our chest
And buried much too deep
To just pull out like *weeds in a garden*
It’s permanent
Well I’m sorry

Someone is waiting
someone who understands exactly how you feel
exactly how you feel..
someone is dreaming
someone is hoping just that this will be the day
that this will be the day..

that you take your eyes off the ground
out of the blue
and see that someone is looking right
back at you..

maybe that someone’s me
maybe it’s meant to be
lovers, strangers
sometimes bombs fall quietly..
maybe it’s chemistry
maybe it’s hard to see that someone is the right one
i hope that someone is me..

nobody’s perfect
nobody’s perfect no one really knows the truth
all we’ve got’s a point of view..
and there’s too many questions
there’s too many questions and too many reasons not to try
there’s too many reasons not to try..

but you should take your eyes off the ground
out of the blue
and see that someone is looking right
back at you..

CHORUS

where ya gonna go from here??
cause everything you need’s out there
and you can have it if you dare
if you dare
there’s someone somewhere..

CHORUS

i know, i call you too much.
but i am missing your touch.
yeah and now this bed feels so new.
here on the other side of the world and loving you.

everybody walking through the city sidewalks so busy
its her that knows me so well
so i need your face at my door
i said i need your footprints on the floor
yeah yeah you know that i need your warmth here in my bed
because your voice is pretty baby but i’d rather have your pretty skin instead
so the sky, is falling like rain and making designs on my windowpane
yeah yeah, but lines are just a big waste cause even the skies gentle lines
couldn’t portray your grace. grace.
and yeah yeah
but oh the night life. yeah.
girls under street lights i wish, wouldn’t remind me of you. yeah, you. yeah, you.
cause i need your face at my door. yeah
i need your footprints on the floor. oh oh girl.
and i, i need your warmth here in my bed.
cause your voice is pretty baby but id rather have your pretty skin instead
pretty skin instead

the color of the morning air.
the sound of silent stares.
perfect spirals in your hair.
my pillow smells just like your skin.
you tilt your head towards mine.
open slow your pretty eyes.
then to my surprise, you set my lips on fire.
and i. am torn. said. i. i. i. am torn. and i. i. i. i. am torn. by your smile.
as you pull away. as you pull away.
yeah. i have the sweetest dreams, right next to you.
like nothing exists at all outside this room.
yeah the sweetest dreams are next to you,
cause i don’t even have to close my eyes.
the color of the morning air.
the sound of silent stares.
perfect spirals in your hair.
my pillow smells just like your skin.
and i’m thinking.
that i have the sweetest dreams.
right next to you.
like nothing exists at all, outside this room
yeah the sweetest dreams, are next to you.
cause i don’t even have to close my eyes.

is anything hiding in the sky?
if only the wind taught my feet to fly. mmm.
so maybe clouds are a little shy.
its making me wonder. mmm. its making me wonder.

if everything’s this beautiful beneath the pavement.
if everything’s is beautiful inside my mind.
yeah, and i feel it going down.
i feel it.
and i feel it all around, my body.
this sun is, certainly, shining on everything.

cause you hit my eyes like the morning light.
rushing like waves through countryside.
and you took me down like a landslide.
you’re taking me under, mm, you’re taking me under.
when everything’s this beautiful beneath the pavement
if everything is beautiful inside my mind. yeah.
i feel it going down. i feel it. and i feel it all around. my body.
this sun is, certainly, shining on everything.

this used to be air and i really miss breathing
there used to be grass underneath the trees
the city is a vampire sucking on phonelines
the sun is still shining on everything. oh.
and i feel it going down. i feel it.
and i feel it all around, my body. this sun is, certainly shining on everything.
this sun is, certainly, shining on everything.

As we were driving
you turned your head around and looked right at me
you couldn’t see the road and it was scaring me
how beautiful you are when you get crazy
cause i have never felt so weak.

maybe i would disappear without you
or maybe i would fall into the sky
but i’m in heaven orbiting around you
and your pretty eyes.

we took the highway
that curves along the ocean on a friday
the sun was falling down and you were shining
the rhythm of the waves was keeping time as
you were singing this….

CHORUS

look at all the stars up in the sky
they look alive
i wonder what’s on the other side
it’s full of light.

CHORUS

Entwined
all that we are is defined
by eachothers shipwrecked hearts
and i shiver to think
what would have been if i wouldnt have seen you in time..
would we pass by??

like parachutes and air balloons
or satellites and lonely moons
we’d still be drifting far apart
but thank the stars we are
entwined..

all that you are is mine
your divine imperfections color the dark
and i shiver to see
how fragile you are when the world’s such a cruel place to be..
then you cut me free…

CHORUS

let’s walk the tightrope together
without a safety net..
and when we fall
and we will fall
let’s fall forever..
entwined
