why do people like love songs?
what do people like, about love songs?

[we sing of]
heartbreak, memories[lost or gained], waiting, giving, leaving, forgetting, remembering, tears, laughter, joy, the twinkle in your eyes, warmth, regret, promises [broken or fulfilled], avoidance, confrontation, evasion, compromises [made], sometimes, lies.

does it make it better,

when the sweet comes right at the end,
just after the bitter?

because sometimes it doesn't come.

a love song

Where you are seems to be
As far as an eternity
a thousand questions, never answers,
push me away, tell me i'm blind;
Outstretched arms open hearts

And if it never ends then when do we start?

I'll never leave you behind
Or treat you unkind
i could never say hate you
as much as i would like to lie;
I know you understand
And with a tear in my eye

[make me] the sweetest goodbye

Pushing forward and arching back
Bring me closer to heart attack
Try so hard to disregard
The rhythm of the rain that drops

And coincides with the beating of my heart

I tried and tried and tried and tried
But i have no concept of consequence
And I'm a master of self defence
Days get longer
Life gets shorter
rips me like no other
So oh dripping from head to toe

[when you]wrap yourself around me like a
warm glove
[when you]grab me without so much
as a word
[if you]break down the door
wait no more
[if you]look straight into
my eyes
[wont you]say the words
i wanna hear

[but]what are you thinking
Where are you hiding
what are you saying
on the outside
[I'm] on the inside

[I] can't make the same mistake
Break down your door
Take a little more
[i] need you around

And I'm so terrified of leaving
It's a new low
Try and pick up again but
[have to]Let go see how far i get [without you]
stop pushing me away stop asking the obvious
Desperately need more of [your]

Hot love
Wrap yourself around me like a
Warm glove
The emptiness leaves me and I'm
Filled up
Never need to
Go back to the way i was
The way i was

Save Room For The Moment To Be With Me
Save Room For [My] Love
Save A Little Save A Little For Me
Won't You Save A Little
Save A Little For Me

[i'll] Let Down my Guard Just A Little
Keep me Safe In Those Arms Of yours
Hold On To Me You Will See
[could you] Be All i Need If You Stay
Won't You Stay
Stay

Fingers trace your every outline
the contours of your face;
of your eyebrows, of your noseline;

Things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
it's difficult talking and staying truthful to you
And I would gladly hit the road get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you
That someday it would lead me back to you

That may be all I need
In darkness all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
Don't never want to leave

And you may not know
That may be all I need

And you may not know
[but]That may be all I need

all i ever need.

--------------------------

the donuts, that came too late
the heart-to-heart talk, we never made

if you didnt leave
said the words you could have said
if i really mattered
you wouldn't let me just wait[and wait]
you wouldn't be [so tactfully]asking [me] now
whose heart are you beating for?

because i could never tell you
because it's no longer you
not you anymore
not you anyway

even if im pushed away
even if im just a silly game
i just keep at it, again and again.

and then maybe

when you come back,

you could show me,
all the things you've seen,
the people you've met,
the hardships you've suffered,
along the way.

we could smile,
and we could talk,
like always,

but things would never be the same

and though i hate you sometimes,
for the little bit of heartbreak,
and though its all over,
in the wind and the dust,

and though my heart no longer beats for you,

a little bit of you still remains.
