BABY PLEASE

baby please, speak to me
do i need to get down on my knees?
i’ve never been one to beg,
but yr all i have left
i still haven’t slept one night
or felt alright
but it would stop my fears
to hear you sing tonight

you’re the girl
of my dreams
but it dont seem like you want me to sleep
so i stay awake all night,
with aching insides
since you’ve been away so long
there’s something wrong
tell me what it takes to make you sing this song
in the bed
where i said
without your love i’d rather be dead
im livin in my own hell
as if you couldn’t tell
there’s nothing round here for me
no reason for anything
why should i try if i cant even hear you sing
dont you know
what i know
keep it in and you’re bound to explode
its a cycle that sucks you in
again and again
i hope you will see someday
what you gave away
and when you split your lips here’s what you’re gonna say…
baby please!

MY FAVOURITE

this foolish love
has fooled us both enough to never trust again
this beaten path
has beaten both of us senseless
these distances
have destined this dance to go out of step
these frequencies
cause us to frequently not follow our heads
we let the moon take full control
and hope the tide will guide us home
but we both were swallowed whole
pulled down by the undertow
the hollow sounds of sorrow
are the only songs we’ll sing
come tomorrow, tomorrow…
this breaking dawn
is breaking down all my hopelessness
a scotch whiskey shot
has got me wishing, shouting
things that i’ve surpressed
surely we’ve been pressed for time
and time has done its best
to shoot the stars, out of our eyes
it puts love to the test
and tested all of our limits
i can still see yours, have you seen mine?
there’s pure white snow
where shadows should go, now i know
how i know
my broken mind
can open like the sky
if only i, if only i
could share that sky with you again
and give it one more chance
is it out of the question
i guess then my eyes will have to find
themselves another set
a place to rest…
but you were my favourite.

ITS COLD.

its cold
by the window
its true
but its where i’m gonna stay
cause i said that i would wait
for you
i see snow
in the wind blow
today
i sing these songs to bring you near
seasons change as i lay here
in wait
i’ve grown
i have sinned, oh
my god
these words may seem quite small
but the songs i sing are all
i’ve got
