Divorce in the Water
I walked with you along the water
Hearing you breathe softly and softer
I listened to you
Deep in the woods wandering farther
On the highways you were the driver
I was there for you
But you had to get away
I would never make you stay
I kissed your face harder and harder
You watched me slip under the water
I waited for you there
You turned around under our covers
And saw a ghost or maybe another
I was next to you
But you had to get away
I would never make you stay
I walked with you along the water
I watched you leave softly and softer
I'm listening to you
Do whatever you need to do
Do whatever you need to do
Burn Out
If love is like water, the rainfall is shorter than I'd like
If love is like fire, then I wish it wouldn't burn out tonight
You were the wind, oh, you blew me to my knees
In the morning the ground was still for you go where you please
And if I could choose
What I'd prefer to do
I wouldn't want someone like you
I wouldn't want someone who leaves like you
The sound of a train always helps me fall asleep
The way that they come then go just always gets the best of me
And when we'd get stopped by one you'd say you bought me a front row seat
I think you always knew soon you'd be the one to leave
And if I could choose
What I'd prefer to do
I wouldn't want someone like you
I wouldn't want someone who leaves like you
So burn out
Go burn out
Go burn out
Just burn out
Quietness
"I guess I"m not romantic like the movies," that's what what you said
You don't always hug me tight, you don't always hold my hand
You spend a lot of time just thinking to yourself
You don't love the phone and you don't always text me back
But you have a quietness that I like
You have a quietness that I like
You don't try to affect me by saying the perfect thing
You just show me how you feel in one hundred tiny ways
Living's pretty simple to you and you do it with such grace
You pull my heart wide open, you bring a smile to my face
'Cause you have a quietness that I like
You have a quietness that I like
So if you're wondering if you're enough for me
Just come let me show you how I feel when you are close to me
'Cause you have a quietness that I like
And I want your quietness in my life
I want your quietness in my life
Tenderly
It almost felt like we made love last night
But I couldn't see your eyes
It almost felt like we made love last night
So I didn't try to see your eyes
Oh baby, though I don't call you that yet
Oh baby, I feel so tenderly about this
Oh my my my
Oh my my my
I think we're both more than a little scared
Of taking each other too far inside
I think we're both more than a little scared
We're both coming out of the night
Oh baby, though I don't call you that yet
Oh baby, I feel so tenderly about this
Oh my my my
Oh my my my
It almost felt like we made love last night
But I couldn't see your eyes
It's Wondering If You'll Be Here Tomorrow
It's wondering if you'll be here tomorrow
That's got me spinning out of my mind today
Oh, how I wish that I could feel you
Without worrying that you're going away
Darling, I've been watching you closely
I've been listening to your lips and to your eyes
Darling, I've been watching you closely
But god knows there's nothing concrete in these skies
And it's wondering if you'll be here tomorrow
That's got me spinning out of my mind today
Oh, how I wish that I could feel you
Without worrying that you're going away
Forever is a long time to promise
Especially since it don't exist
So why this lonely obsession
I keep trying to seal my soul with your kiss
And it's wondering if you'll be here tomorrow
That's got me spinning out of my mind today
Oh, how I wish that I could feel you
Without worrying that you're going away
Oh, how I wish that I could feel you (in my arms)
Without worrying that you're already going away
You Feel Free
You don't ask for much in love, I've noticed that
You just step on into my heart and kindly hang your hat
I'm a weathered fortress, filled with many webs
I spend a lot of energy just running around the edge
And when you're intertwined with me
Sometimes I don't know how to breathe
I'm just saying honestly
I don't wanna rob your dignity because I am lacking
It's important to me
That you feel free
That you feel free
It's important to me
The first word for freedom was a word called amagi
I don't know how to pronounce it, but I learned what it means:
"Restore, come back, return to mother,"
And I think freedom don't mean a damn thing if you can't trust another
I've got control of a few things, but I can't change what I am
And I want someone who's coming back to me the way I'm coming back to them
I guess that love is more than holding on or letting go
It's the sending out, it's the coming home
So with my heart and in my arms
It's important to me that you feel free
That you feel free
It's important to me that you feel free
That you feel free
It's important to me
When It All Comes Down
Wrap around me like a ghost
Lift me up how you do most
You're the light, you're the light, you're the light now
But when it all comes down
Will you turn around
Tell me how to tear back this curtain again
To believe that you'll still be there when
It all comes all comes down
I've been trying to let you deep in
I let you penetrate me within
But will you let me let me down?
Strip me to the innermost
Make me naked like a ghost
You're the light, you're the light, you're the light now
But when it all comes down
Will you turn around
Tell me how to tear back this curtain again
To believe that you'll still be there when
It all comes all comes down
I've been trying to let you deep in
I let you penetrate me within
But will you let me let me down?
Will you still be there? Will you still be there? Will you still be there?
When it all comes all comes down
Strong and Tender
Meet me in the middle of the ocean
Take me to the bottom of the sea
Show me all the things you keep inside you
Let your thunder and your rain wash over me
See I didn't come to take your heart for granted
No, I hold it like a beggar holds his purse
And I can't pretend I don't need you inside me
'Cause I'm aching for you so badly it hurts
But you can't say I'm less strong because I am more tender
I'm the wood the water beats and I float in a hurricane
And this old heart belongs where sometimes light don't enter
I'm like a cave that catches rain: I can hold the pain
You're not the only thing I fall in love with
No, I break each time the world's beneath my feet
But I'm out here, out here, barefoot, barefoot walking
'Cause I love the way the dirt keeps strippin' me
But when I hold you, darlin', I will hold you only
Just the way I hold the whole world in my chest
And when I touch you, darlin,' I won't touch you lonely, no,
'Cause I'm the moon that catches sunlight from your breast
And you can't say I'm less strong because I am more tender
I'm the wood the water beats and I float in a hurricane
And this old heart belongs where sometimes light don't enter
I'm like a cave that catches rain: I can hold the pain
Supernatural
I see you
I know you
I found you long ago
You saw me
You read me
You're written in my soul
This is the sweetest thing
I don't believe, but you're supernatural
I don't believe, but you're supernatural to me
I found me
I gave you
The parts I couldn't see
While you took
Your guard down
You were opening me
This is the sweetest thing
I don't believe, but you're supernatural
I don't believe, but you're supernatural to me
We knew it already
Our hands so bare and empty
It only took one or two words
Your eyelids closed, heart open
Your arms close and unfolded
I already knew who you were
This is the sweetest thing
I don't believe, but you're supernatural
I don't believe, but you're supernatural to me
Fallen Angel
Take me where the winds don’t follow
I’ve been looking for a sign
I’ve been looking for a sign
Dress me up in alabaster
I’ve been wading in a deep disaster
I’ve been wading in the deep end
I’m a dime spinning on your table
I would fall if I were able
He turned me into his desire
I tried to fall but he raised me higher
I tried to fall but he raised me higher
I’m a dime spinning on your table
I was born to a fallen angel
Now I’m hanging over everything
I was born to a fallen angel
I was born
I was born to a fallen angel
To a fallen angel
I love you
Can I love me too?
