love and grace

-- stars shine brightest as they're burning out --
I don't know you at all
i don't know your face
I don't know you
but i used to

when you're driving by the airport
do you remember the spot we held onto
and when that cop parked beside us and you got so embarrassed
and then i kissed you

you can take your boyfriend there
you can kiss him right under the search light
but remember the bookstores, broken glass on the street floor
and when i read your heartsongs

so try to say what's on your mind today
your eyes are dry, and finally so are mine

folksplosion

i drove her to the airport
and sat out in the lot
i was feeling kind of tired
no time for us to talk
but i knew that she was leaving
in more way than one
but i knew that she was leaving

i got so awfully angry
at what i wasn't sure
drank a pound of poison
and put away the cure
but even in my excess
i couldn't find a way
to make myself feel stronger

but if you could find the patience
to love a wretch like me
then i can find forgiveness
and finally set her free
because holding on to bitterness
in the end will just kill me

so I'm on my way home
and i can sing out loud
of love that rebuilds
and a broken heart

"Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable."

Oh my God, Mr. Lewis, I believe my heart is broken
But in no way does this change the fact
Of who I am, and who God is
In fact, it solidifies it

(12.21.2.14:08)

it all comes down with you back in town
it all degrades to this anyways

four long years, it's not that bad
the moments we made, the time that we had
but truth be told even with the pain
if given the chance, i'd do it again

hold your head up high and be on your way
i was by your side until judgment day

four long years, i gave it my best
my self to the side, ignored all the rest
but truth be told even with the pain
if given the chance, i'd do it again

so try to say what's on your mind today
your heart is calm as you crawl your way out

(12.21.2.14:04)

your hands are cold
your eyes are soft
its not like you can sleep this off
and it's not like any of this would work

so i'll resign
i'll take the bait
it's not like you would even wait
and really now has it ever been so hard

four long years is an awful time to wait
and distance can only be so kind

i picked you up
i drove you home
it's not like you're the only one
you're just not like anyone so far

but time is short
that's it, I guess
i just don't want this to be meaningless
and really now would it really be that bad

four long years is an awful time to wait
and distance can only be so kind

what if i told you
what if i did
what if i poured my heart out
and let you in
what if i loved you
what if we did
what if now is all we have

all my life i've wanted something more to long for
i think this could be my chance
all the heat and hunger this old world could offer
it seems fine but it wont last


so try to say what's on your mind today
your eyes are calm and i must be a fool for leaving

Always Count The Cost

is this what it's like
why you stand so tall
so quiet in the shadows
family on your shoulders

i could save all day
my silver and my gold
you've always had my best
i only talk on holidays

i could save all day
for the rain, and miss the sunny days

is this what it's like
never falling or living
the blue goes on forever
it hits me in the mornings

we never miss a beat
because we live in all of them
but they never live in us

i could save all day
for the rain, and miss the sunny days

can you fly? do you know how?
how much longer will you be here?
