Somebody whispers to me
I know who really likes you
It’s a good opportunity
To meet someone new

Somebody whispers to me
This is just what you need
To get over the past
It might even last

If I do this she’ll think that
I’m saying one thing to hear another

The volume’s increasing
It’s getting too loud
I can’t turn down the sound 
Of the whispering

Somebody whispers to me 
What are you waiting for
Good things could be in store
If you know what I mean

Somebody whispers to me
What kind of man are you
Are faces are blue from talking to you
We’ve tried hard to make it easy
Even told her what we think of you 
We’ve tried hard to make it easy

If I do this she’ll think that
I’m saying one thing to hear another

The volume’s increasing
It’s getting too loud
I can’t turn down the sound 
Of the whispering


Whispers

My spirit’s restless tonight
Desperate for any sign of light
Curled up and shaking in my bed
Covers over my head

I need someone to hold me
I need someone to hold me

Colors pulse across the wall
Lips move but make no sense at all
It doesn’t matter what’s going on
Close my eyes and it’s gone

I need someone to hold me
I need someone to hold me

Don’t know why I feel this way
Constantly in pain
If I could have another day
If I could have another day

There’s so much left here to do 
Got to shake this feeling it’s through
Trapped inside frozen with fear
Must be a way out of here

I need someone to hold me
I need someone to hold me


Another Day

Far away 
A dream is waiting for you
With the patience of a lifetime
It does not care when you get there
It has a lifetime

Closer now
The appearance is not the same at all
A look that is unexpected
It does not care what you see there
Could not care at all
It has a lifetime

Dreams are found everywhere
If you never dream 
You never get anywhere

Within reach
The texture is rough when caressed
An unpleasant experience to endure
It does not care how you feel there
It has a lifetime

Back away
A dream is waiting for you
With the patience of a lifetime
It does not care when you get there
Or if you do
It has a lifetime

Awake from a dream you cannot bear
This does not have to mean 
You will not find one somewhere


Dreams

Talking for hours at a time
Not wanting to be alone
Minutes of silence filling the line
While we try to hang on to the phone

You say a problem’s come up
Pretending your confused
You ask if I would come up
I’ll be there soon

How many more miles to forget
Am I near the exit yet
I’m always driving somewhere
And always getting nowhere
No matter what the distance travelled

Talking for hours at a time
Not wanting to be alone
Minutes of silence filling the line
While we try to hang on to the phone

The weather’s getting cold here
Our words are getting few
It’s warmer there – that’s what I hear
I’ll be there soon

How many more miles to forget
Am I near the exit yet
I’m always driving somewhere
And always getting nowhere
No matter what the distance travelled


Distance Travelled

What do I do
Now that I’m empty
Of the fear that used to feed me

What do I do
Now that I’m full
Of a love that is painful
Reminding me of what then I couldn’t know
There’s purpose to it though

At the point where hope was least
And I was on my knees
You helped me to my feet
Opened my eyes to see
You’re the greatest discovery

Where do I go
Now that I’m free
Of the fear that used to own me

Where do I go
Now that I’m a slave
Of a love I never gave
Reminding me of what then I couldn’t know
There’s purpose to it though

At the point where hope was least
And I was on my knees
You helped me to my feet
Opened my eyes to see
You’re the greatest discovery


Greatest Discovery

Talk to me
Tell me things about you
Reveal your darkest secret
In a week 
If we are still together
I might not repeat it

Smile at me
I’ll smile back at you
We’ll hide all our bad traits
In a week
If we are still together
We’ll find something to hate

But today we’ll explore something new
We’ll stay out all night - get inspired
Be in bed by noon
In a week we might be too tired

Sit by me 
I’ll put my arm around you
We’ll feel anticipation
In a week
If we are still together
There could be hesitation

Laugh with me
Don’t you think it’s funny
We’re making all this fuss
In a week
If we are still together 
The joke may be on us

But tonight we will dance and get high
Make plans in our minds – get inspired
We’ll stay out all night
In a week we might be too tired

Beginnings have to end by definition
The meaning isn’t change or transition
It’s up to you and me
To define where this leads
In a week we might be too tired 


Beginnings

I told myself everything was alright
Realizing now I might have lied
At times I feel willingly misled
This one thing’s always mystified me

I tell myself everything is alright
These words pass easily by my lips 
Leaving truth out in the cold night
Evicted by a lover’s kiss

I try to bury past mistakes
There are times I think I will
But every time I don’t think so well
Something takes my will away

Somewhere it seems that my faith was lost
I wish I could regain it
Sometimes it seems that my heart is cold
I’m just avoiding pain

Across the grey sea of my memory
The shoreline waits there unexplored
Protected by a reef of insecurity
Which I have tried hard to ignore

I cross the grey sea of my memory
The shoreline seems both near and far
Navigating around my dread
Suppressing what my instincts are

Nearing the coast it’s finally clear
That it’s safe to move ahead
Discovering what all along’s been here
I leave behind my selfish fear

Somewhere it seems that my faith was lost
I’m trying to regain it 
Sometimes it seems that my heart is cold
I’m trying hard to change it
I’m not afraid of pain
I’m trying hard to change


Everything Is Alright

It’s not easy to leave
Even harder watching someone go
Wondering what you’ll never know
It’s not easy to greave
There’s purpose to it though

It’s not easy to cry
Even harder watching tears flow
Promising what you don’t know
It’s not easy to lie
There’s purpose to it though

I had to watch you leave
You had to watch me cry
We had to lie and greave
At the first goodbye

Will we ever see each other again
What about all the might-have-beens
Will we ever stop our questioning
There’s purpose to it though

I had to watch you leave
You had to watch me cry
We had to lie and greave
At the first goodbye


First Goodbye

The two of us
Wanting the same
Living out a dream
Sleeping through the pain
Our life together seems unreal
Taking care that everything 
Is treated with the biggest deal

You won’t go and change
I’ll stay the same
Even though there’s places left to go

Things may change 
As we stay the same
And prove that time is a friend
Hours pass in minutes
While the dreaming never ends

I come home from work
And kiss your lips
I try my best to hear
When you move them
It looks like another night of bliss
If we keep this up
We’ll never have to wake up

You won’t go and change
I’ll stay the same
Even though there’s places left to go

Things may change 
As we stay the same
And prove that time is a friend
Hours pass in minutes
While the dreaming never ends


Living Together Part 1

The two of us
Wanting the same
Living out a dream
Waking up to pain
Our life together is unreal
Every little thing 
Turns in to such a big deal

You will go and change
I say the same
Even though there’s no place left to go

Things may change
As we stay the same
And prove that time is no friend
Minutes last for hours
While we wake up to the end

I come home from work
And bite my lip
I pretend to hear 
When you move yours
It looks like another point is missed
Putting up with this
We don’t dream anymore

You will go and change
I say the same
Even though there’s no place left to go

Things may change
As we stay the same
And prove that time is no friend
Minutes last for hours
While we wake up to the end

Living Together Part 2

The last note always hurts
Whether it’s a favorite song
Or a lover’s final words
It signifies the finish
Of something that until then
Had filled the emptiness

You left it where I couldn’t miss
Where mail is seldom delivered
Where letters are seldom as honest
I saw it from a ways away
There was no need to read it 
I knew what it would say

Last Note (Querido Juan)

The first note always pleases
Whether it’s a favorite song
Or a lover’s penned seed
It signifies the beginning
Of something that until then
Was only emptiness

You left it where I couldn’t miss
Where mail is seldom delivered
Where letters are seldom as honest
I saw it from a ways away
There was no need to read it 
I knew what it would say
