Watch Your Mouth

oOoOoooOoOoooOOooOoOoOO
I stared at stars so long they disappeared
I opened my eyes to wake up, you weren't here
A masterpiece is
Still a masterpiece when lights are
Off and rooms are empty
That is how I feel when you're without me
When my eyes were turned
Did you cut your bangs?
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOO
I always wish I had a way with words
I know the only way is you
And it's absurd to think you heard it enough
I saw your face and knew
Plenty of things become now
Clear and clearer still
I see your face, my mind will race on highest hills
Spin the bottle
Watch your mouth (x2)
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOO
Even if color would drain from my eyes
I would still see in hues of you, still see it through
I'm crazy about being closer to you
Through and through I'm just dreaming till skies aren't blue
While my eyes were turned
Kiss you all over, again and again
Till the night closes in
Till my rights are worn thin
Everything wears to rust
Everything's gone to dust
So just take me anytime
Hand and body and mind

Fire in the Water

Fire in the water
Fire in these schemes
There's a fire at my feet
A fire in the street
(x2)
I can barely see you through tomorrow
I am just now living for today
And if I could somehow see you tomorrow
I will say the things I never said
Fire in the water
Fire in these schemes
There's a fire at my feet
A fire in the street
(x2)
I can barely see you through tomorrow
I am just now living for today
And if I could somehow see you tomorrow
I will say the things I never said
Fire in the water
I know its loud in here
I know it's loud my dear
But don't be stubborn use those ears you were given to hear
Listen to the words
They speak right to your face
And promise me of fear that you will leave no trace
(oooooooo)
fire in the water
I can barely see you through tomorrow
Fire in my studio
Burning all my pictures down
I am just now living for today
Fire in my studio
Burning all my pictures down
And if I could somehow see you tomorrow
Fire in my studio
Burning all my pictures down
I will say the thing I never said
Fire in my studio
Fire in the water

Bumped against you at the party
You said hi, I replied in my squeaky voice
Seen you around
You've probably not seen me
But it feels like we're really close
I'd come up with what I'd say to you
But I'd never actually say it
I'd thought of what I'd do with you
But I'd never actually do it
Save me
Love me
Bumped against you at the party
You said hi and I replied in my sweetest voice
Seen you around and I know that you've seen me
But it feels like I've come too close
I'd come up with what I'd say to you
But I'd never actually say it
I'd thought of what I'd do with you
But I'd never actually do it
Save me
Love me
I wanna be with you (x8)
Bumped against you at the party
You said hi and I replied in a distant voice
I don't see you around 'cause you won't come and see me
Now I know that I got too close
I'd come up with I'd say to you
But I never actually say it
I'd thought of what I'd do with you
But I never actually did it
Save me
Love me
Save me
Love me
I wanna be with you (x8)
(instrumental)
Save me
Love me
Save me
Love me
I wanna be with you (x16)

I call and there's no answer
Is it so unfair to imagine there is a chance that
You would be waiting for me
At a quarter to three in the morning?
The nighttime requires of me
To map my fate
In a thousand ways
To avoid the sleep that will come over me
I've sought a new name
A familiar face will be reborn
I've sought a new name
A familiar face will be...
It's a long drift down shore
And I'm starting to feel at home
Where I am
I will not fight anymore
And it's good to know that the war has been won
And it's good to know that the war has been--
I like when it is dark
Despite this I like when it's light in the night or my heart
I could never do what you'd asked of me to
But I still pull my muse from you, from you
Count to three, count to three, count to three
Count with me
Everyday add to lists of the things I won't miss
I used to sleep for so long
I used to sleep for days
In hopes that, at most, my mind could be changed
I kept my thoughts at bay
It was for the best, so I'd say
It's a long drift down shore
And I'm starting to feel at home
Where I am
I will not fight anymore
And it's good to know that the war has been won
And it's good to know
That it's a long drift down shore
And I'm starting to feel at home
Where I am
I will not fight anymore
And it's good to know that the war has been won
And it's good to know that the war has been--
(--That the war has been--That the war has been--)
oooOOoOoOoOOOoOoOoOOOOooOoo
(instrumental)
It's a long drift down shore
And I'm starting to feel at home
Where I am
I will not fight anymore
And it's good to know that the war has been won
And it's good to know
That it's a long drift down shore
And I'm starting to feel at home
Where I am
I will not fight anymore
And it's good to know that the war has been won
And it's good to know that the war has been--
(--That the war has been--That the war has been--)
oooOOoOoOOOOooOoOOOoOOoOOoO
--That the war has been won.
