AS I AM

Take me as I am

I am not changing anytime soon

So take me as I am

I’ll come home soon

If I stand a chance

We may get eaten alive

But If I stand a chance

I’ll give it time

I love you more than words could ever sing

Eyes could ever feel

Songs could ever bring

And I love you more than hearts could ever know

Whispers could scream

I just don’t know what to do anymore

I’m beaten to my bones

Don’t see a way out anytime soon

Beaten to my bones

But I assume

That if I have a hope

The hope might stay alive

And we will have our home

It’s worth a try

I love you more than words could ever sing

Eyes could ever feel

Songs could ever bring

And I love you more than hearts could ever know

Whispers could scream

I just don’t know what to do anymore

Oooh there is a song (I might run away)

Oooh there is a song (I might beg you to stay)

That’s bound to sing (show nothing when you need it most)

eventually (let it loose when you have no choice) if you sing along

In this empty old house I am standing here naked

In this room with there only a couch and a carpet

Stands my vigilant heart, In your eyes full of clouds

You say no matter what, You are the only one

 

You are the only one

 

On a couple of pillows under the low dim light

We sit here side by side on the cold tile floor

And I sing you a song, As you strum my guitar

I may start to believe, That I am your only one

 

I am your only one

 

Whispers of where I was from, run through my veins

Take me away, From being free if only to be with you 

Yelling there’s no other way you’ll stay the same

Never let go of all you held close, why listen to your feelings? 

 

I am your only one

You are the only one

Only One

My fragile heart is here to stay

I’ve wished it gone a thousand ways 

A birthday flame a starry night

A penny found his nose upright

 

My apple heart fell from its tree

And hit the ground beneath the green

And rolled it way into your hand

One bite showed I could feel again 

 

Delicate, my lover be

Hold my fragile heart to thee

I am your porcelain laced with gold

Easily broken, yours to behold

 

Alas, my heart is here to stay 

I’ve given up all other ways 

So now you have my beating heart 

 

Your eyes can build or tear apart 

Your words can build or tear apart

Your thoughts can build or tear apart

 

Delicate, my lover be

Hold my fragile heart to thee

I am your porcelain laced with gold

Easily broken, yours to behold

 

Treat me with care 

Or I’m bound to be broken

 

Delicate, my lover be

Hold my fragile heart to thee

I am your porcelain laced with gold

Easily broken, yours to behold

FRAGILE

Aimless Wanderer

I remember the last we were there

Still a mark on the leg of the chair

Of the table we sat at together in June

You were still searching when I knew I’d found

The precious in hiding behind travels down

Showed me the map traced the lines you had crossed

My light was your light and I knew you were there

My light was your light and I knew you were there

Aimless wanderer I was one too

Didn’t realize ’til I found you

Our vagabond hearts gave way to the truth

I once was called aimless, but wandered to you

We stumbled home in the loneliest place

World’s highest capital below the arctic

They were all calling for meaning askew

You made a statement foregoing our youth

Asked me to move to the city you knew

So we carved the words on the leg of that chair

My light was your light and I knew you were there

My light was your light and I knew you were there

Aimless wanderer I was one too

Didn’t realize ’til I found you

Our vagabond hearts gave way to the truth

I once was called aimless, but wandered to you

Journeyed far looking where you belonged

I saw myself in your life’s song

Thinking this world would set you free

But wandered home aimed right at me

Aimless wanderer I was one too

Didn’t realize ’til I found you

Our vagabond hearts gave way to the truth

I once was called aimless but wandered to you

Miles

I never thought I would run away

I never thought I would stay

Wanderlust is what brought me here

A settled heart has made it clear

Or maybe I’m just older now

That’s not the way it’s supposed to be

Friendship lived vicariously

We’re so east and west away

Miles and miles and here to stay

Miles and miles and miles away, and here to stay

I never wanted to be so separate,

I wanted you to call and I’d be right there

Look at me now so desperate, So many miles and such thin air

We parted all the most natural ways, San Francisco stayed at bay

standing there with me on that day

was miles and miles and miles away

Miles and miles and miles away

Miles and miles and miles and miles away

miles and miles and miles, and here to stay

And I’ve grieved it, And times gone by

but no matter, friendships are not meant to die

and we know it we’ve always shared the same soul

it’s such a shame we’ll never get the chance to have it whole

Miles and miles and miles away

Miles and miles and miles and miles away

miles and miles and miles, and here to stay
