Invisible Days

Late nights, a dance floor kitchen
Old songs, off beat singing
You live invisible days,
My coat’s in your foyer.
Yeah.
Brick walls, one room living
Too young and over thinking
You live invisible days,
My scarf’s near the doorway.
Undone, hiding away inside your house,
All done, I still don’t understand the words you leave inside your mouth.
Lights down, voices trailing
New tunes, dancers fading
You live invisible days,
My hat’s on your doorframe.
Undone, hiding away inside your house,
All done, I still don’t understand the words you leave inside your mouth.
Undone, how did we get into this mess?
All done, I’ll never understand the words you leave inside your mouth.
Last glance, facing fiction
Lost chance, now I’m gone
You live invisible days
My shoes drift down the hallway.

Dancing With Giants

Picture me, I’m standing on your back porch
Can you start to see it now?
Use imagination when you can love
Words you never said aloud
are hanging around your head
A string of lights draped loosely from the sky.
Making up the story as you go now,
Giants dance around your yard.
Did you hear my faint little knock dear?
Will you let us come inside?
Or am I just a dream?
A night time star that’s shooting towards the sky?
Oh no
What am I?
Did you hear my whisper in the morning?
Eyes flutter out of sleep.
Stopping just to ponder what the noise was
Daydreaming out of reach,
And all we are is time, marking changes
And our ceiling is the sky
Oh no
What am I?
Picture me, I’m standing on your back porch
Can you start to see it now?
Use imagination when you can, love
Use imagination now.
I’m dancing around your head
Like a photograph hanging from the sky
Oh no
What am I?

Pretend Some More
04:20
|

You've got yourself hidden away from me
You’ve got yourself strictly under lock and key
Mum's been the word for the past three weeks,
But whose words did you borrow when you were talking to me?
Couldn't recognize you when you said that
Your words had the power to crumble what we had
So say goodbye
And I'll pretend not to love you
I see you cry
And your words start to sound like lies
And I…
Am sitting on the floor,
Collapsed behind my door,
You were here before,
And you left me to pretend some more.
You took yourself to a place far, far away
Then you got yourself convinced of decisions you thought you made,
Forever and always mean a little longer than this to me,
If you look up the definition, I think you'd tend to agree.
So say goodbye
And I'll pretend not to love you
I see you cry
And your words start to sound like lies
And I...
Am sitting on the floor,
Collapsed behind my door,
You were here before,
And you left me to pretend some more.
And it’s easy to be mad,
It’s a little harder to be sad,
But how long must we pretend?
When I start to miss you
I wanna live in the dark
Turn out all the light bulbs
And tend my burnt out heart
How’s your heart?
Fine?
No, really
How’s your heart?
So say goodbye
And I'll pretend not to love you
I see you cry
And your words start to sound like lies
And I...
Am sitting on the floor,
I collapsed behind my door,
Right after you left me to pretend some more.

Fine

You showed up outside,
Two doors, no headlights
Dark blues every night,
Don’t think you’ll come inside.
I’m fine with that (x3)
I’m fine.
I’m fine with that (x3)
It’s fine.
Home feels like a room,
Untangled sheets to move.
9 am morning blues,
Let days go by for you.
I’m fine with that (x3)
I’m fine.
I’m fine with that (x3)
It’s fine.
And a little later when everything has changed
I turn my insides out, but you see me the same.
Your name like finger tips, a brush against my lips,
Never really close, but never far away.
Yes, everything has changed.
Tuesday afternoon,
A long list of to-dos
Your eyes shine in blues,
Our plans keep falling trough.
I’m fine with that (x3)
I’m fine.
I’m fine with that (x3)
It’s fine.
And a little later when everything is changed
I turn my insides out, but you see me the same.
Your name like finger tips, a brush against my lips,
Never really close, but never far away.
Yes, everything has changed.
I wasted the whole day
‘Cause all I did was wait
When morning broke the night
A thought of you remained
I’m fine with that (x3)
I’m fine.
I’m fine with that (x3)
It’s fine.
And a little later everything is changed
I turn my insides out, but you see me the same.
Your name like finger tips, a brush against my lips,
Never really close, but never far away.
Yes, everything has changed.

Spark

Take a step in my direction, won't you?
A white t-shirt and some worn out boots
The sky fades to nighttime blues
Come a little closer, won't you?
And it's an evening love affair
I think I'm starting to adore you
And it's a sunset romance
I've only started to adore you
Take a step right off the edge now with you
A short skirt and some high heeled shoes
Graffiti walls and dark avenues
I've wandered for hours with you
And it's an evening love affair
I think I'm starting to adore you
And it's a sunset romance
I've only started to adore you
And it's the middle of the night,
I've been waiting for this moment.
The sky's a string of lights,
I can see that you are broken.
When the morning takes the dark,
These seconds will be stolen.
Oh, it's an evening love affair
Our love is just a moment.
Take a step in my direction, won't you?
I've wandered for hours with you
And it's the middle of the night,
I've been waiting for this moment.
The sky's a string of lights,
I can see that you are broken.
When the morning takes the dark,
These seconds will be stolen.
Oh, it's an evening love affair
Our love is just a moment.
Oh, it's an evening love affair
Our love is just a moment
Oh, it's an evening love affair
Our love is just a moment
