Simply Perfect

You've got so many speeches
Words that flutter around bleeding peace
Gave your key to the seekers
You followed her home
Landed in sheets, neatly spread
You held her hand as you dream't
There must have been darker nights, brighter stars
You found her, you found her
Laying in your arms and the time on the clock
Handed you the numbers back
There is no need to look here any more
Where you are is simply perfect
An image rare indeed, she's found your key
She loves you, She loves you
But one night you failed to sleep
Saw a light in the distance out of your window
Uncertain of the distance, you stood at edge
Looked back once and decided to go
As the night began to weaken you ran, faster and faster
The light was fading, the wind picked up
You seem to be close but the sun is rising
And you're losing focus
Tomorrow is making it's way to your destination
You have to get there, you have to make it
And you will
Then suddenly you crash, looking up
You've found it, you've found it now
Only to find the numbers on the clock have been replaced
With a simple message attached
"No looking back" signed-her
And an image of her sleeping
Beside her an empty invitation
But you got the message
She loved you, She loved you
she knew all along there where stars much brighter
Places in dreams that exist, something true
Because that's how she found you
Simply perfect

Un Ange De France

She fell from the sky
The grass molded her shape and she laid
Felt the world holding her body down
Heavy and sound
This is what heaven must be like
She thought
This must be how angels dream
Beautifully serene
She took a deep breath
The air filled her with heart and she smiled
Felt the vibrations of the ground
Living and found
This is what music must be like
She said
This is why they strive to be alive
Afraid to die
Looking towards the sky she whispered a hint
laissez-moi rester ici juste une plus de nuit
Feeling the leaves rustle
Seeing the tiniest life in it's largest form
Molded into a solid shape a new world is born
And angels dream
Dream of ways to feel alive
What a place this must be
Where it is beautiful to die
She laid in awe
As rain drops trickled down her cheek
Closed her eyes and smiled
Dear world take into me
Her eyes matched the stars
Her soul the grass and the trees
She signaled the ships in the distance
"Please, do not fail to perceive"
Because the moon surely will fade
As will the stars in the sky
But the beauty is everywhere
Holding both you and I
And angels dream
Dream of ways to feel alive
What a place this must be
Where it is beautiful to die
Where every element matters
And every piece is in place
Where imperfect is still perfect
And every heartbeat's a race
She stood from the ground
Aimed her face towards the sun
Cher monde,
Je suis vivant! Je suis vivant!

I Just Wanna Be Your Lover

She's happy, she says
in her creaseless black dress
following the moon with her eyes
she's fine, she's fine
the world melts in two
caught her staring at you
sewed by the sight, she says
it's alright, hey, it's alright
you found peace in her songs
as she connects palm to palm
but the truth you can't face
knows some voids can't be replaced
and she'll smile and wave
claiming to be happy again
but this time theres no moon
no sunlight to swoon
only the reflections of a touch
that were far too self involved
silence creeps where the camera waits
a surprise ending and the flashes penetrate
wearing your last minute tuxedo vest
she's happy, she says.
