Sunk In

Ask her what she thinks - of me, of mice and men.
It's like a baseball game. It's like a brand new friend.
Bloodflow - caught up, chaotic as her hair in the wind.
It's like a tidal wave. It's like she's sinking in.
-
A slight and subtle sight from the corner of an eye
turned towards the time as you feel it flying by
shows the hour close to bringing on the night,
but you can still walk home underneath the streetlights
Only if you ever have to leave.
-
Hey! Hey! You just sunk into me.

Hand in Hand [Interlude]
01:10

|

I'll swing from your lashes to your lids;
you'll see me when you close your eyes.
I'll brave the blood vessels to your brain;
you'll always have me on your mind.
The flow will tow me to your heart
and I'll take a piece of it in time.
You'll sweat me out on cotton sheets,
the nights I set your soul on fire.
Hand in hand - it's all I need.
It means so much to me.
Hand in hand - you're all I need.

After the Move

The white lines go by
and so do I.
White clouds in a blue sky
just like your eyes.
Now we pass the time
until I next arrive.
-
Dissonance - the distance is
a hollow heart, an empty bed.
I just want to lay by you
and hold your hand.
I admit - I've thought of this
I understand, but here I am.
I just want to lay by you
and hold your hand.
-
Next to me the ghost
of when I held you close.
A familiar fold
in the pillow.
Don't fear the cold;
soon we'll feel whole.
-
Dissonance - the distance is
a hollow heart, an empty bed.
I just want to lay by you
and hold your hand.
I admit - I've thought of this
I understand, but here I am.
I just want to lay by you
and hold your hand.
-
Hold on tight.
(I will never let you go.)

Like separated Siamese, we're still in sync.
On nights alone we lose the same amount of sleep.
I'm drifting off - soon to be out at sea.
Life preserver, don't tear on the reef.
I'm sick of shipwrecks and storms but I'll weather many more
to dock on freckled blonde shores.
Soon you'll be in my arms, Shauna.
Rest reassured

On the Playground
03:01

We were kids once - on the playground.
We were kids once - we would swing
through the air like trapeze artists;
we would swear that we had wings.
And just to test our brave new theory,
we'd let go and take the leap,
but we were never disappointed
to discover gravity.
We were kids once - on the playground.
We were kids once - we would be
so in love with simple freedoms.
We were happy; we had peace.
And when that bell rang - on the playground,
we would never want to leave.
Though we had those rocks in our shoes,
we would always drag our feet.
-
I would stay here forever.
-
We were kids once - on the playground.
We were kids and then the
years escaped us - and the playground
soon became mere memory.
I'd grown old enough to notice
everything time took from me
and would have soon been broken-hearted
then came the day that we did meet.
And after, with you - on the playground
I remembered the feeling
of days gone by - it reawakened.
I was happy; I had peace.
In love together - on the playground
we never wanted to leave.
Though we had those rocks in our shoes,
we held hands and dragged our feet.
-
I would stay here forever.

Sunlight
03:23

Find your God crawling into bed with you.
Behind her bones, a prophet hidden out of view.
Realize you're not alone an individual.
Time, you know, quietly made one from two.
-
Stare at the ceiling feeling a tug - a line reeling you in above. This is love.
Empty mind seems afloat - devote a thought and keep a note of what it brought: what you're not.
Not sad or depressed - happiness exists and now expressed the idea persists. This is it.
-
(Alive) I'm happy to feel so alive
(Her eyes) each time that I look in her eyes.
(So close) Whenever I hold her so close
(I know) I never want to let go.
-
The sunlight shines across her face, and I know that I don't want to wait to see her again. To see her again...
