I saw your smile from a distance,
and made my way through the crowd to try be near you,
to try to get close to you,
I met your eyes for a moment,
and longed to feel what you hold there
cos I never could read you, I always would speak too soon,
when I held your hand for the first time,
something I never told you was I already missed you,
cos I knew you would leave so soon.
Something always tries to explain us away now,
sometimes I feel i'm full but I'm empty, crying still laughing,
so loved yet lonely.
I put my heart on the line when I left my armor at home and
you really could see me, could really get close to me,
when I saw your world for the first time,
something I couldn't tell you was I wished you would take me,
but I knew it would be too soon.
Something always tries to explain this away now,
sometimes I feel I'm high but I'm searching,
closed and open, so loved yet lonely.
could you blame me?
I just wanted to be, wanted to feel something other than me,
I just wanted to taste the smile of a face
of somebody other than me,
I just wanted to share, wanted to care
for somebody other than me,
sometimes I feel so enclosed and long to be
in somebody other than me...

Heaven Found Its Home

It's taken time to see through eyes
from a heart once hard to find,
fickle mind, every hour a new idea to try,
hold me, please, just a little bit closer,
now it seems all these things just keep happening.
So I cut in line,
and found a door in a nook once hard to find,
take your time though,
a thousand lives ahead I'm still behind,
sing to me, please, just a little bit louder,
now it seems the strangest things just keep happening.
It seems like something I have known before,
it seems like something I have been before,
and i feel like I'm never coming down again,
it feels like heaven found it's home again.
It's taken time to see through eyes
from a heart once hard to find,
fickle mind, hours later, a new idea to try,
sing to me, please, just a little bit softer,
now it seems the sweetest things just keep happening.
It seems like something I have known before,
it seems like something I have been before,
and i feel like I'm never coming down again,
it feels like heaven found it's home again.

I Still Adore You

Wayward hope, be still for now,
restless heart, please, let go of me,
stubborn hands, release me now
from stubborn dreams that cease to sleep,
So was it easy to notice how much i care?
was it hard to see through my stare?
I still adore you, and find it harder and harder to keep away,
I still adore you, and wonder how, when, and why i'd see the day
when we'd walk away.
Wounded will, sleep for now,
summer months of gold and green are near,
selfish love, release me now
from selfish dreams that charmed and bound me,
Was it easy to notice how much i care?
was it hard to see through my stare?
I still adore you and find it harder and harder to keep away,
I still adore you and wonder how, when, and why i'd see the day
when we'd walk away...

Far too bright to see,
the sun is drawn into me,
and all i can say is 'okay.'
Blue skies hemmed in green
staring back so tenderly,
and all these things i'd feel, seemed so real.
Waves rose over me,
and stole me away so suddenly,
and all i could think to do was thank you.
It seems so inevitable,
because you sing so incredible....
