Giving in to love

And sharing my time

Letting someone into my misery

I told it all step by step

How I landed on the island

And how I swim across the sea

And it crosses my mind

That I may wait to a sign from you



No more breath in my hair

Or ladies underwear

Tossed up over the alarm clock

Blood dripping from the bed

To a neatly written poem

Heartfelt last line reading

There is no more mystery

Is it going to happen, my love?

There is no more mystery

Is it going to happen, my love?



It's all in my head

Morning after nightmare

You're building a wall

Higher than the both of us

So try living life instead of hiding in the bedroom

Show me a smile and I'll promise not to leave you



It happened under a rainy cloud

Gasing through the dark South

We went into a big house

And slept in a small bed

I didn't know you then

As well as you love me

We talked about side lines

And we went our separate ways

And we went off separately

I found you overseas soveniers

Holiday greeting cards

Those long forgotten high school fears



It's all in my head I said

Banging on the piano

I've not been so along

The thoughts kicking in the womb

I drank so much tea

I put my letters in college

Around the block I walked and walked

Pretending you were with me



Not wanting to die out here

Without you



The hurting never ends

Like birthdays and old friends we forget

There is fresh blood and blood is human

Trading phone lines

Trading lines

Unwilling to face

That love is found on the inside

Not the outside

And like a medicine bottle

In the cabinet

I'll keep you

And like a medicine bottle

In my hand

I will hold you

And swallow you slowly

As to last me a lifetime

Without holding too tight

I do not want to lose

The thrill that it gives me

To look out from my window

The tiny houses

From my world in my bedroom

It's all in his head, she read

In a girlfriend's self-help book

It's all 'cause he's making a war with himself

Like two sides with a wall

That separates two countries

He shuts out the world he once knew

To love you



Not wanting to die out here

Without you



Not wanting to die out here

Without you
