I always, always do
mess love up when I talk to you

Oh it never fears
just to speak my mind
means losing friends

cause I get so restless
so I trade love for brightness
glow like the sun darlin
cause tomorrow it'll all be different

i can walk, i can walk
for a time alone
but I'll trip on my own feet
just to make sure I'm not alone

yeah you see, you see
i know all the signs
this restlessness is the end of me
love don't be the end of me

cause I get so restless
so I trade love for brightness
glow like the sun darlin
cause tomorrow it'll all be different

This is it this is now, the time as come to become something real
we are just a small part of the bigger world
a clashing piece of real estate seeking some love
but it's all in vain, we are all so vain

yeah come crashing sound, hold on to what pulls us down
listen love, if it's what you seek let go of him, her and me
cause we're nothing but love wrapped in our own hell
we're not clinging to the love that doesn't fail
no lets make our own bed and forget what's real

grace can you save someone like me?
ignore the pretty petty love and grant sight to me
if I can't rid the attention placed
give me what you would have of me

close our eyes close our eyes
please don't be too far off
tell me if it's not this love, tell me if it's another
tell me so I won't become what I preached

Father have You found me here
my arms no longer contain veiny fear.
I have nothing to bring but all that I am
take this heart and make it clean once again.

Build me up from the inside out
break down all the walls, remove the doubt
Take the pieces I can't separate from
Let Your spirit lead and whisper Your love

close my eyes to the things that I want
remind me Your love sustains everything and all
bless the times when I turn all away
let my storms magnify all Your glory
let the storms remind me that I'm only man

send me a sign, if only a piece (if only some peace)
silence the haunting hollow that is my shell
send me a love that edifies Your body
send me a love that echoes Your love
send me a love so I can share my soul

I must say that I probably owe you an apology
but those two words won't let loose from my lips.
Can you riddle me this, if I'm the one causing you
all these troubles, then why do you insist we be friends?

I can't help but be sad
cause every bridge I meet, flames up and burns completely.
I only had good intentions
but the match was lit before we even assembled

listen if you're going to slam the gavel then give me due process
cause I'll tell you that I pleed the fifth.
So shoval the dirt into the hole
close the casket and head for the door.
And if I had a dime for everytime my words were misunderstood,
then I'd have enough money to leave and forget who you were

and I can't help but be sad
cause every bridge I meet, flames up and burns completely.
I only had good intentions
but the match was lit before we even assembled

she's my black tie, my black attire
I can't do anything right by her.
but can you riddle me this, if I'm the one causing you
all these troubles, then why do you insist we be friends?

spelling

ah Baby you make me want to cry
walk to the bank, swim the shores
down to the river of pity and sighs

Ready to go off and forget this beach
no more water drowing these eyes
down to the river of pity and sighs

I need you to tell me the truth
were you ever going to care?
down the river I'll float on down

To many times have I created
allusions of grand and glorious things
I'll close my eyes and go to sleep

Take a walk to clear my mind
it's filled with words and nostalgic things
they say it never completely goes away

Another time I wish it would have been
a different person, a different heart and place
I'll walk the shores and burn all the time

Nothing ever is simple as it seems
the spirit of your love blows through the trees
the sand moves in perfect harmony

You never can have what won't do
I walk to find another you
the shore, the sand, the river
all are a part of a bigger dream

contradiction

I bet it never crossed your mind that you drive me insane
it only crosses my mind one thousand times a day.
I'd forget you in a moments whisper, if only it was that easy
but a pretty face and a lovely soul simply cannot be erased.

I hate that you leave me alone, God you drive me crazy
but I'd love to see you leave me to dance all alone.
You're a breathe of air that chokes me to death
I am the candle and with a slowly decending wick

I'm burning out, I'm burning out..

Oh but it can be a new day! the sun wakes up the sleeper
Be careful then how you live, not as the unwise
but make most of every opportunity, live like you're about to die

I don't consider us the same, play devil's advocate and put me to shame
You just say it's still the okay, I'll try to figure it out by going insane.
Pass me on the street and look away, hide a smile and shy to the side
It doesn't matter though cause..

it can be a new day! the sun wakes up the sleeper
Be careful then how you live, not as the unwise
but make most of every opportunity, live like you're about to die
