Put You're Fingers In Your Ears

I'm smiling but my blue eyes can't lie,
To love her,
To let her go,
However misleading a feeling,
Just hope for the best,
Swim for the stars,
Even if its just mini steps.

If I put my fingers in my ears,
Will you love me,
She says you're better than him,
But not better for her,
All the things I can't say,
Keep me awake,
To turn the other cheek,
But still just in and out of reach.

The rain soaks into my skin,
And drips from my brow,
As I sit and wonder,
About where I have been,
The when the here and now,
Faces that woken,
As I walked into a room,
The cruel words that been spoken,
And who we said them too.

Silences and cheers,
That have come and gone,
All memories linger of optimism,
On a backdrop of what may or might have gone wrong,
But a lesson learned is like money won,
As sweet as a kiss from a special one,
I bare my soul to you,
All my love and hate is been and gone,
We know we'll make it through,
Every right and wrong.

''All We Have Is These Pictures''

Now all we have is these pictures,
You're so busy,
You're forgiven,
I saw a picture of the future,
And the house we lived in,
With the flowers in the porch,
With the streetlight flickering,
From the reflection of the water.

Now we pass on by,
Sometime soon,
Let's go outside,
With our hands clasped tightly,
Just wander everywhere,
The twinkles in our eyes shining brightly,
Maybe sometime soon with no goodbyes,
Or passing bye,
No ripples in the reflections of the water.

Orchestra Of Starlings

Find somewhere for me when I'm crying,
Nowhere near a pedestal,
Search out an alcove while I'm dying,
Where the rains does not touch,
Where the dramas disintegrate into nothing much,
Speak to me softly,
It's so loud outside,
Find me a some solice, where I can spare two minutes to hide.

Talk me out from slumber,
Trick me into daylight,
Lets lay our fingerprints into the snow,
Where only we really know,
Before the cherry trees blossom,
Tell me jokes and stories my darling,
Slip away with any fairies,
Fall asleep to the orchestra of starlings.

''Everyone Your Best Friend''

Walking an adventure,
To no amends,
Just one full stop is certain,
Sat and watched the light descend,
Seen a prophet in each person,
Everyone your best friend.

Brought a change so inevitable,
And fell by the roadside,
Opened up the car doors,
For everyone worthwhile.

Everyone your best friend,
For only one night,
Even when the last bell rings,
And they're out for a fight.

Walking an adventure,
To no amends,
Just one full stop is certain,
Sat and watched the light descend,
Seen a prophet in each person,
Everyone your best friend.

Looking out on floating waves,
Hoping the rain will wash away any sin.
Getting the taste of hairspray
A cormorant flaps its wings into the wind.

Look away from the horror,
If its too much to bare and dream of a shangri-la,
Sit by my side,
And we'll gaze at the stars.
