Everything Once

Give me seperate brain hemispheres
Give me hearts on sleeves
Give me green eyes, give me bright lights
And I'll try everything once
Give me numbers that I can count on
Give me a startled glance
Give me helter, give me skelter
I'll try everything once
And when I say I am content
You know that it's a lie
It's not the words I haven't said
Or things I haven't tried
Oh it's the days that just drift by
And it's memories untied
Give me freckles in sweet alignment
Give me crooked teeth
Give me sunshine, give me rainfall
And I'll try everything once
Give me drunk words, give me amazement
The night we left undone
Give me the looks, oh give me the rapture
And I'll try everything once
And when I say I am content
You know that it's a lie
It's not the words I haven't said
Or things I haven't tried
Oh it's the days that just drift by
And it's memories untied
And it's fathoms spinning wide
And it's perpetual time
Crawling towards crepuscule
Give me pinches when I'm dreaming
Give me good advice
Give me auditions, a sweet transmission
And I'll try everything once

Same Old Story

The dice are thrown
And for all that I can see
It's a perfect constellation
The doors are shut
The keys are swallowed whole
To preserve the situation
Say don't you think
That the the band between us both
Is really something special
And from our mouths
All ordinary speech
Somehow becomes celestial
They will say
"It's the same old story
They were young and undecided"
But I'll say
"That's not the way it was"
I say
"We were comets in the sky and we collided"

Kiss Like Strangers

The future is not ours to see
At least that's what I've heard
And maybe it's not quite as dark
As you seem to conjure
You paint your perfect picture of me
And pin it to a future board
But I'm not sure I do resemble
That staid man anymore
I don't know what to guarantee you
Or what you'd like to hear
I wish that we could kiss like strangers
Enthralled and unaware
Well I am no illusionist
And you are always right
And how the fuck can I resist
To be constantly tired
And what movements can work against
This divergence slow and sly
Your addiction's wearing off
And I stand with hands tied
When all of this piles up sweet baby
In the end we'll both
In the end we'll both start crying
At every ending note

Shed A Light

I was a paper plane spiraling down
You were a child that picked me up from the ground
And back home you found
A poem on my wings
You sit in a café, in your dress of black silk
You're reading the news, drink your coffee with milk
And you notice that when it spilled
It's formed a sign
Go shed a light
On these solemn eyes
That have no sight
Of beauty
I was a red reef and you were the sea
You always pushed an pulled on me
And your breaking waves made a melody
So intimate to me
The leaves have turned golden and you drive down the streets
There's birds flying southward, there's strangers you'll meet
And suddenly you realize you subconsciously
Head towards me
And you would think
We're sleepwalking
While we're acting
Out daily deeds
So go shed a light
On these solemn eyes
That have no sight
Of beauty

Our Golden Years Ahead

You are the vowels that run through my lips
My fingers are planes and your skin is the airstrip
When I'm lost in the dark woods at night then
You are my searchlight
I recall when we were alone for the first time
In the attic I was holding your hand in mine
And when we kissed in the dark we were
Swaying like violin strings
But we talked until early dawn
Then I brought you home and on my way back
I couldn't tell if this was real or
If a dream is a dream is a dream is only a dream
And I was laying awake all night
Pondering the state of the universe
And how it's all gonna end
And where we come from and where we'll go
When all is said and done
But the silence never comes
Unless the consiousness is gone
Yes, I'm always so obsessed with the past
Because your dreams seem all bright while mine are desperately vast
But I truly believe that our golden years are
Still ahead of us
I gave you many reasons to just walk away
And it was me all over to just stay in place
And I don't think that I was the man
You deserved then
And I was down in a rabbit hole
I couldn't see light until you pulled me out
And propped me up and spoon-fed me with love
Do you remember the idle days
When I used to smoke so much I couldn't even smell your perfumed breast
And I drank so much in vain hope to forget at least one letter of your name
Or a single freckle in your face
But I couldn't

A Tree

I wish I were the soil
That your roots would permeate
To grant you a steady stand
And supplied you with the minerals
You need to grow and thrive
All your gentle green hands
And I wish the drops of rain
That fall down from your crown
Contained a little taste of you
What a perfect match we'd be
Me the ground, you the tree
My nightly frost and your morning dew
I wish I could grow grass
The color of your chlorophyll
A mirror image of your grace
You'd absorb all the light
And turn it sugar sweet
While keeping me in the shades
And I wish the shiny fruit
That you give away to the world
Would honor your majesty
And the carbon dioxide
That ran through your arteries
Resembled the carbon of me
