hold me close
when our hearts are twice agreeing
count the beats
distantly we scan the ceiling
walls still bare
blankly daring us to leave and
we don’t care
waiting for a lasting feeling

when
the rain is pounding outside and
we
close the curtains and hide where
time
holds our hearts in its hands and
we
lie there making our plans while you

Hold Me

A re-recording of a song I wrote last year. Different track, some new lyrics. Let me know what you think!

Countless Different Ways

Sometimes, I feel, oh - - 
Sometimes, I feel, oh - - 
Try to find my peace. 

Numb, numb, numb 
Living your perfect vision 
Numb, numb, numb 

Have your fun 
Take pride in your decision 
We’re all done (Sometimes I feel - -) 

I don’t want the apology you never gave and 
I don’t mind that you didn’t like what you created 
You’ve got time, if you’ll eat the words you know she hated 
It’s alright, cuz’ without your toys you’ll always feel 

Numb, numb, numb 
Living your perfect vision 
Numb, numb, numb 

Have your fun 
Take pride in your decision 
We’re all done (try to find my peace ) 

I don’t mind if I’m never coming home again and 
I don’t like that you’ve never been a decent friend and 
You’ve got time, if you’ll eat the words you know you said and 
It’s alright, cuz I’ll never be alone again and - - 

Run back home, to the place where you were just a kid and 
Raise your glass to the things you wish you never did and 
You had time, but you never knew what life awaited 
At your door, cuz’ you went and got yourself sedated 

Sometimes I feel, oh - - 
Sometimes I feel, oh - -

Numb

Some mornings,
I never seemed to be wanting any more than to be waking beside you 
The dark cloud that we battle crushing down on our pillow
You hold me
Coming down from the mountain that we climb till’ the bottom reminds you
We’re still here, in the sun, just another day closer and I
Want you
To never dream of a day when the morning leaves me laying beside you
We always laughed at the people who would dare to believe that we could 

I will never never hide, never hide, never hide
I will never hide from the feelings that I’ve had forever
I could never lie, never lie, never lie, 
This will never die, every moment that we have together   

This evening,
I never dreamed I’d be falling in the sky like a comet beside you 
With no clouds up ahead from the window by our bed and
You hold me
Coming down from the mountain that we climb till’ the bottom reminds you
I’m still here for you now, when the sun has come out, and I
Want you           
To always dream of the mornings when you know that I’ll be laying beside you
Feeling breathless and alive, telling death it’s not our time, you know -

I will never never hide, never hide, never hide
I will never hide from the feelings that I’ve had forever
I could never lie, never lie, never lie, 
This will never die, every moment that we have together

Beside You

Beside You (first mix)

you feel my heart is beatin'
you left my lips a-bleedin'
so - I'd stick around
always clean and always bold
you left me clutching at your cold
embrace - why do you love to see me down
playing your sorry clown

it's cold in new york city
I know you know you're pretty
oh - but how short does our breath come
you move so calculated
underspoken, overstated
why - does all your bouyance bring me down
playing your sorry clown

you said the phone was better
dressed me up in phony leather
taste of my touch just a little too much for - 
a girl, by all accounts
trying life in scant amounts
oh - it's kinda cute to see you now
missing that sorry clown.

Clown

- , Written carefully, till you see what I believe
as if I wish for you to see the vision that you saw for me
 - , - , I wanted nothing more than you and me 
if happiness is all that hallmark cards can make it out to be
 - , - , And where the time went, when I spent 
these honeymooning afternoons pursuing nothing, In a sense,
is feeding lonely parts of me when only I am feeling 
that it matters very little when the world is losing innocence

you know it’s - - - - 
(always on my mind)

- , - , time is speeding up, slowing down,
another generation born of global warming lifts a middle-
finger as we fail to turn the globe around, hold it now,
 - , - , we can’t afford to lose a step to fear

louder than the cable news channels in your living room 
are shouting at the rate you lose friends and fear impending doom
 - , - , why lose a single day to fear and pain
when time is rolling by us all and all we have is love to gain

you know it’s - - - - 
(always on my mind)

- , Written carefully, till you see what I believe
(always on my mind)
- , - , I wanted nothing more than you and me 
(always on my mind)
