On Your Level

Kept inside
By my window
Bleed me dry, ‘till I’m old
But tonight, I’m on your level baby
Won’t you show me what I’ve been missing
I’ve been on the inside looking out, upon you and me
‘Till I go on the road
In this town
It’s like a pillow
Sleep so sound
But you can’t wake up
But tonight, I’m on your level baby
Won’t you take me inside your home
‘Cause I’ll follow you, to the bottom keep on smiling
‘Till I lose my control
Feel alive
No more pain
I free my mind
At the expense of my brain
But tonight, I’m on your level baby
Now I’ll show you something, you can believe in
Because now I take my strides nice and slow like they do down the street
Till I find me a home

Waiting All Day

Why
Can’t I say you’re the one
When the love for you
Is real
I think of you
All damn day
But I can’t seem to make my play
Why
Do I feel it’s true
That I’ll be moving on, on my own
Was chemistry
Not enough
To hold me
Well I welcomed you
To my world
But I never did
See through to you, so
I’ll make my way
I’ve been waiting all day
Just to find what to say
I’ve been waiting all day
My
Is it hard
To move on
When the loss of you is real
I refuse to keep putting
One foot behind the other
So you’re the one I have to let go
Harmony makes me feel so free
Do you agree
You’re new to me and
will you sing with me
Easily
So I’ll welcome you
To my world
If you just
let me through to yours so
I’ll make my way
I’ve been waiting all day
Just to find what to say
I’ve been waiting all day

Follow Through

I Wonder what it’s like
To keep expectations light
And to stop before you give it all away
It is just not sitting right
To give all my love and light
Then to cast it off like it’s some game that we both have to play
Don’t say you want me this time
That smile’s just as good as a lie
You know that you won’t be mine
If you ever followed through you wouldn’t be such a waste of my time
I wonder what it’s like
To take only what is right
To invest and not to slowly chip away
I know you like to love me but you
Haven’t thought this through and the
Promises you made to someone else just follow you, don’t you see?
Don’t say you want me this time
That smile’s just as good as a lie
You know that you won’t be mine
If you won’t say you love me, give me some piece of mind

Silhouette

I awoke, suddenly
It was you, speaking to me
The love that I missed, was coming through me
Into you, but it was just me
What I’d do to stay up in here
Satisfied, no worries to fear
But it’s never like my sweet reverie
Featuring you, your body and me
Come to me slowly
I don’t want you to disappear
I know I’m lonely
But with my eyes closed, you’re here
Feeling so close my emotion is true
Pleasure like this seems to good to be true
Takes me to times when these feelings were new
And you were mine
Come to me slowly
I don’t want you to disappear
I know I’m lonely
But with my eyes closed, you’re here

The Thief

If I knew
I could do
These things, I’ve been up to
Then I wouldn't have made you
The bad one
If I knew
Why you threw
This thing, we’d been up to
Then I wouldn't have blamed you
For what you planned to be
If I lost you
when I was looking for something
than I’m right where I started
And when I try to find the words for why
I'm empty handed
If I found you
when I was running from something
than I’m losing my breath
And if the way I feel for you was stolen
than I’m the thief
When I knew
You withdrew
And the love, faded from view
What was left
Was fleeting
Carry on
Love is strong
We have both, moved along
You and I, yes we tried, but sometimes
It just ain’t meant to be.
If I lost you
when I was looking for something
than I’m right where I started
And when I try to find the words for why
I'm empty handed
If I found you
when I was running from something
than I’m losing my breath
And if the way I feel for you was stolen
than I’m the thief
