you know,
you'll find whatever it is
that you're looking for in
the last place you look.


i can only stay if you promise
to teach me something new every day,
and do whatever it takes to make me happy.
the scientist didn't make it easy for us,
but in his defense, he never said he would.
and half the time, i'm lost.
and half the time, i don't even know what to call you.






i have some things i want to say to you.
unfortunately, i don't know all the words.
i pray that i know them one day.
until then...


if you start the fire,
i'll never put out the flames.
and i'll never be able to forget your name.
i'm in love with 181 miles,
but i can never stand the distance.
in the dark, you shine.
in the light, you are mine.
in the north, we say your name.
in my eyes, we play your game.


i could never learn another game,
if you only asked.


you asked me to tell you sweet things
while you slept the night away.
another chance for my words to
just get in the way.


seem to stop my breath.
my head on your chest,
waiting to cave in.
from the bottom of my...
hear your voice again.
could we dim the sun
and wonder where we've been?
maybe you and me.
so kiss me like you did,
my heart stopped beating;
such a softer sin...

in your eyes,
i lost my place.
could stay a while
and I'm melting,
in your eyes.
like my first time
that I caught fire,
just stay with me,
lay with me
now.


this made me think about you,
along with everything else in the world,
but this in particular brought you back.
i hope you hear what i did.


goodnight,
and sweet dreams.
we are not the same.

the electric.

everything is falling,
and i am included in that.
and i know about all the negative
we attach to that word,
but i promise you that i mean
it in the best and brightest
light.


just because everything can fall,
doesn't mean that all must hit
the floor.
it's just that everyone conspires,
and i wonder what you do it for.


they said a lot when they said,
"the world was built for two."
it doesn't feel a thing like falling.
some days, i swear that
i'm scared.


take off your colors.
who are you wearing them for?


so we'll take the falling,
forget the lights,
and drive around for the longest nights.
let's lose the time,
find all the lost,
find the knot in st. peter's cross.
we'll just look for you.
for you, and you alone.
we'll call it a comeback,
coming back for nothing new.




i don't mind what you do
when you're alone.
i don't care for the classes you attend.
i've got all these rules,
and i beg them all to bend.
i look up to you,
control without caution.
if nothing else,
i'll take comfort in knowing
that you exist.
and if i ever found a way out,
i swear i'd get lost in you.
lose myself in the fog,
lose myself in your eyes.
it doesn't feel a thing like falling.


i'd have to call this the
easiest conspiracy
i've ever met,
so explain this all to me.
tell me all your secrets,
tell me all your lies.
tell that you'll never make me cry.
tell me that i'm going to live,
and that you'll never die.
i'll hide my doubts in the dirt,
and you, all in the sky.


i'm holding on to tomorrow,
and it doesn't feel a thing like falling.
tell me all the things you want to do.
for you. for you. it's all for you.
if you didn't know then,
baby now you do.


and then you said a little more about your dreams,
like that was my call.


my, that's some dream.
we are not the same.
