Polaroids

I found myself on edge again, unsettled by my own mistakes
I left myself unchecked, again unfettered and left to my own devices
The things I said last night, they sound now old as my own convictions
The time it takes for me to change my mind is almost frightening

Too fast, too much to do –
I drive by nights that quickly burst and fade from view
Too soon, too wild, too loose –
looks like those polaroids I took of you in Singapore
Too far ahead of you –
I never know quite what I want and don’t want to do
I’m too far ahead of you –
I never know quite what I want and don’t want to do

Memories, longings, regrets – I can’t say that I’ve ever had them
Will be back again at this place, familiar faces and the old disguises
I will find myself on edge, suitcases packed and a brand new number
The time it takes for me to change my mind is almost frightening

Too fast, too much to do –
I drive by nights that quickly burst, die and fade from view
Too soon, too wild, too loose –
looks like those polaroids I took of you in your old room
Too far ahead of you –
I never know quite what I want and don’t want to do
I’m too far ahead of you –
I never know quite what I want and don’t want to do

About to leave – it’s only the
third time this week I leave it all
Too hot for you, for me, and for all
the world to see…
I never know what the fuck do I want to do

Too fast, too much to do –
I drive by nights that quickly burst, die and fade from view
Too soon, too wild, too loose –
looks like those polaroids I took of you in your old room
Too far ahead of you –
I never know quite what I want and don’t want to do
I’m too far ahead of you –
I never know quite what I want and don’t want to do

To Be The One

Wake up, it’s time, it’s the middle of the night
I never thought I would be the one to say goodbye
I hear your breathing, I will remember you as you are tonight
I’ll never learn this, no matter how many times..

How can I ever tell, behind this mask, how it crushes me
to tear your world apart, to blow up life as we both know it
You’ll never know how it crushes me to be the one…

Four in the morning, I’m wide awake and almost packed
I’ll never change you, you’ll never change that who I am
I see you sleeping in the middle of the night
We keep on trying, but nothing’s ever quite alright
(and every night I wonder…)

How can I ever tell, behind this mask, how it crushes me
to tear your world apart, to blow up life as we both know it
You’ll never know how it crushes me to hear the words still
That you will never speak to me.
Behind this mask how it crushes me,
To tear our world apart, to kill the love that we’ve grown
You’ll never know how it crushes me, to be the one…

And you will never know how much I tried to save our love,
But it’s too late, too gray, too far,
too messed with and too fucked up
And I have no more strength to go on.

How can I ever tell, behind this mask, how it crushes me
to tear your world apart, to blow up life as we both know it
You’ll never know how it crushes me, to be the one to slay the hopes
That we carefully raised.
Behind this mask how it crushes me,
To tear our world apart, to kill the love that we’ve grown
You’ll never know how it crushes me, to be the one to slay the hopes
That we carefully raised.
You’ll never know how it crushes me to hear the words still
That you will never speak to me.
You’ll never know how it crushes me, to be the one to slay the hopes
That we carefully raised.

This Time

I was a child, last time.
I was a petulant and brainless brat.
I let you go.
Surely I knew, but I was…
I was too sure and overplayed my hand.

I was a cunt, last time.
I know I blew it and I let you down.
I was too young!
Surely I knew better, but I was too
caught up in the moment to see!

This time I know I won’t screw up that I will stay with you and treat you right.
We all grow up. If you just give me a chance, if you just give me one chance…
If you come back to me, this time I know that you will stay with me.

Fine, I was a bitch, last time.
I was an arrogant and senseless kid.
I let you go.
I should’ve known better.
I was too certain
that I had you like this.

I was too spoiled, perhaps.
OK, I was  – but then again
I was too young.
Surely I knew better, but I was too
caught up in the moment to see.

This time I know I won’t screw up that I will stay with you and treat you right.
We all grow up. If you just give me a chance, if you just give me one chance…
If you come back to me, this time I know that you will stay with me.

Don’t you ever think about the good times we lived.
Do you ever realize that there was also so much good that we built…

This time I know I won’t screw up that I will stay with you and treat you right.
We all grow up. If you just give me a chance, if you just give me one chance…
If you come back to me, this time I know that you will stay with me.

Gone

Flashing lights of warning, neon signs
it was all right there, hiding in plain sight
Standing in the hallway, looking in
no one in the world was ever so unreal

But I know that fragments and debris,
like pieces of the past
They make sense only when they last

The winters and the morning light
the thousand nights that you drove me wild
It’s all gone, it’s all gone,
I know that it’s all gone now.

The reeling scent of our bodies’ warmth
the coffee kiss by the bedroom door
It’s all gone, it’s all gone,
I know that it’s all gone.

Shades of understanding,
til something breaks
these are games of unforgiving stakes.

And I know that fragments and debris,
like picking up the pieces,
they never mend a life nor right its misses.

The weekend strolls by the market stalls
the naked lunch and the whispered oaths
it’s all gone, it’s all gone,
I know that it’s all gone now.

The leather lace and the silver cross,
your photograph there and this sudden loss.
It’s all gone, it’s all gone,
I know that it’s all gone.

Standing in the hallway, looking out;
you see its face, the ghost of lovers past.

But I know that fragments and debris,
like pieces of the past
They make sense only when they last.

The winters and the morning light
the thousand nights that you drove me wild
It’s all gone, it’s all gone,
I know that it’s all gone now.

The reeling scent of our bodies’ warmth
the coffee kiss by the bedroom door
It’s all gone, it’s all gone,
I know that it’s all gone now.

The weekend strolls by the market stalls
the naked lunch and the whispered oaths
it’s all gone, it’s all gone,
I know that it’s all gone now.

The leather lace and the silver cross,
our photograph there and this sudden loss.
It’s all gone, it’s all gone,
I know that it’s all gone.

Just Dropped In

I woke up this morning with the sundown shining in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within
I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawling out as I was a-crawling in
I got up so tight I couldn’t unwind
I saw so much I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Someone painted April Fool in big black letters on a Dead End sign
I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind
Eight miles outta Memphis and I got no spare
Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

I said I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

I woke up this morning with the sundown shining in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within
I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
