sometimes
every day
i see you through you
and I wonder how this could be
how you could not see
that this love is bottled in glass
how long will this last?
and I've got so much time
to sit and watch you dance
holding hands, romance
but sometimes
everyday
i think about you
smiling and holding on tight
sometimes you're just right
a nibble, a bite
a wrinkle in the sheets at night
it happens
you're not even my friend
and i see right through you
looking through me
there is no future to believe
and no past to photograph
we're just a laugh
we're just a laugh
two bottles on the shelf in the back
sometimes
everyday
i think about you moving away
and I can't say that I'll miss you
enough to ask you to stay
it happens
we just met
through irony and loneliness
it will pass
we'll see through this empty past
find a way to make love smash
shatter like glass
and sometimes
on these lust filled nights
i think about
how long this will last

Fatal Demands
Maybe this is just me thinking
but I think it is time I go home
Secrets I've failed to reveal, are real
but not real enough to let you get that close to me
and I'm sorry that I've structured walls
With framed images of us holding hands
it was a mistake and I know you'll understand
You said you needed to know why
when my eyes failed to navigate into your arms
it was a fatal crash and I bit my tongue but I mean't no harm
I drove with all intentions to love you but honey I just can't
and I am guilty of confusion, dishonesty and awkward silence
I'm sorry I've never given you a straight answer
I just smiled and held your hand
it was a mistake and I know you'll understand
And it's been such a time of pleasure, it almost perfectly aligned
but when I look at you I don't see me and it's more fatal to keep trying
It's only fair that I'd be lonely a while, in a watchtower out at sea
You deserve the real thing, not a framed photograph of what was not meant to be
We'll un-mend to be mended again, I am so sorry it has come to this demand
I so much loved curling my lips up to you but it was a mistake
I'm going home
I know you'll understand
but I think it is time I go home
Secrets I've failed to reveal, are real
but not real enough to let you get that close to me
and I'm sorry that I've structured walls
With framed images of us holding hands
it was a mistake and I know you'll understand
You said you needed to know why
when my eyes failed to navigate into your arms
it was a fatal crash and I bit my tongue but I mean't no harm
I drove with all intentions to love you but honey I just can't
and I am guilty of confusion, dishonesty and awkward silence
I'm sorry I've never given you a straight answer
I just smiled and held your hand
it was a mistake and I know you'll understand
And it's been such a time of pleasure, it almost perfectly aligned
but when I look at you I don't see me and it's more fatal to keep trying
It's only fair that I'd be lonely a while, in a watchtower out at sea
You deserve the real thing, not a framed photograph of what was not meant to be
We'll un-mend to be mended again, I am so sorry it has come to this demand
I so much loved curling my lips up to you but it was a mistake
I'm going home
I know you'll understand
