Desperate

Is it too late
Could this be fate?
You know I'd do anything
Just to be your date

But where we are now
Who we have become
Are we condemned to be free
Or will our time ever come?

Is it too late
Or must I still wait
Even when I haven't felt more
Sure of anyone to-date

The Way It Goes

There were some days
When all I'd do is play
In search of something new

Though it was fun
Those days in the sun
One of them led me to you

One day I'd found
Your whispers haunting me
And thoughts of you to hold

But the days passed by
They moved so quickly
And I left you in the cold

That's the way that our love goes
Build it up just to let it go
Let the leaves fall outside our windows
We'll live fast just to die slow
That's why we let go

I had a dream
That you came back to me
After all that I've put you through

You said, "go get a grip
Don't you ever quit
I'm not leaving until we're through"

Then all the times
When it seemed impossible
That we would find our way home

All those times
You stood in silence, holding
My hand just to stay strong

They said, "there is a way,
Back to yesterday;
There's a way for us to be good."

So just yesterday
I started to pray
That what they had said was true

There were times
It seemed impossible
For us to find a way home

And through the fire
We figured we'd be fine
As long as we don't let go

That's the way that the world goes
Spinning past before you know
Though the doors and windows have closed
We're fast but still we're too slow

The Other End Of The Sheets

She likes chasing fire flies
Insists that she is shy
She'll wake at seven just so to stay in bed

She can't seem to sit down still
Eat shellfish until she's ill
She'll say it's hot and then almost catch a chill

She'll never give into her dreams
She'd rather work it out slowly
The rocks and trees she touches
Make more sense than destiny
But she'll throw it all away
Just for me

I like sipping on red wine
Go climbing on a line
Or spend the day curled up to a book instead

I'd jump right into a chance
To make music or to dance
With or without shoes I'd not care what they say

I'd love to lose myself to dreams
And run along with their journeys
I'd rather stay awake
And waste my time instead of sleep
Because this life is
Never what it seems


Like two bright revolving stars
We've travelled oh so far
To spin across the sheets from cheek to cheek

We know it's easy to believe
To draw the lines that don't meet
In time we'll roll from opposite
Ends of the sheet
Then there'll be no need for
Counting silly sheep
