ALRIGHT LAST NIGHT
Those crazy days in summer haze
These are the times I won’t forget
Like when we kissed right by the sea
We both feel in, got soaking wet
I can’t believe this is for real
The way you make me feel
Can’t believe this is for real
I met your friends, I met your dad
He said I wasn’t all that bad
But in the end he threw a lamp
Called me a loser and a tramp
I drove away in my old car
And mourned our lovin’ at the bar
Drove away in my old car
And it was alright last night
The way you kissed me
It was alright last night
After the movie show
But it was only okay today
Now that you’ve left me
And it’ll only be okay
Now you’ve let me go
We were running in the park
And when we watched the birds
We counted every lark
We were kissing in the glen
Oh how I wish I could
Go back to then again
And it was alright last night
The way you kissed me
It was alright last night
After the movie show
But it was only okay today
Now that you’ve left me
And it’ll only be okay
Now you’ve let me go
It’ll only be okay
Now you’ve let me go
Yeah it’ll only be okay
Now you’ve let me go
Only be okay
Now you’ve let me
Go
ODE TO HIBISCUS
Sleepless nights
Fade to white
There go the warning signs
Out of blue
Into view
New horizons I can’t find
Am I alone in this?
Or are you coming too?
Can you not see me here
Looking out for you?
Grey morning
Birds calling
But I don’t hear a chirp
The kids stare
From the school bus
As the builders get to work
Am I walking this path alone?
Or can you offer a helping hand?
I think I need some clarity
Cause I don’t understand
I’ve been in the grey and floating
The days fall by like years
You ventured in from out there
Now I see clear
No chance for worthless hoping
As fragile as a tear
You ventured in from out there
Now I see clear
Warmer days
Sunlight’s haze
Feeling like a person once again
A reflection sparks
Of the muted dark
I turn my head back now and then
Was a time when my dreams were curved
Out of shape and cold as steel
When light could never find me
When I couldn’t think or feel
I’ve been in the grey and floating
The days fall by like years
You ventured in from out there
Now I see clear
No chance for worthless hoping
As fragile as a tear
You ventured in from out there
Now I see clear
PERCHANCE I LONG (FOR YOU)
Fighting wars with feelings I know of old
Do you really make me hot or do I fear the cold
I can’t answer that
A romantic frantic Schrödinger’s cat
Turning in my bed like I’ve got bad dreams
But only in my soul do I hear screams
My heart and mind feel dense
And I don’t know if wanting you makes any sense
Wake me
In this dream I fall too deep
Take me
To that sunset where you sleep
Don’t break me
I won’t know what to do
Forsake me
Perchance I long for you
Moonlight
On my skin burns like the sun
Hindsight
Shoots through me like a gun
No way
I’ll ever say out loud I’m blue
I’ll stay
Perchance I long for you
It’s hard to know if what I’m saying is what I really mean
Cause my brain can take the slightest thing to the extreme
I guess there’s no way sure to know
But when I’m hyper I think you could make me slow
Maybe come tomorrow I’ll see a different face
A friend talking to me in a lover’s place
It’s a question I can’t avoid
Am I in love or am I just paranoid?
Wake me
In this dream I fall too deep
Take me
To that sunset where you sleep
Don’t break me
I won’t know what to do
Forsake me
Perchance I long for you
Moonlight
On my skin burns like the sun
Hindsight
Shoots through me like a gun
No way
I’ll ever say out loud I’m blue
I’ll stay
Perchance I long for you
Wake me
In this dream I fall too deep
Take me
To that sunset where you sleep
Don’t break me
I won’t know what to do
Forsake me
Perchance I long for you
Moonlight
On my skin burns like the sun
Hindsight
Shoots through me like a gun
No way
I’ll ever say out loud I’m blue
I’ll stay
Perchance I long for you
Lightning
Shoots its wisdom to my brain
Exciting
I’m out of love but not in pain
Striding
My spirit’s cobwebs brushed aside
Brightening
On the breath of hope I glide
Wake me
In this dream I fall too deep
Take me
To that sunset where you sleep
Don’t break me
I won’t know what to do
Forsake me
Perchance I long for you
