messages on sand

All this bitching and moaning.

We are stuck in this world that's not meant for me.

We are the people you hate.

What did you expect? A perfect child, raised by TV sets.

Abandoned every mile.

No one gives a shit as long as we smile.

Cut my life into pieces.

Days come and go but my feelings for you are forever.

Never give in, never give up.

I thought i was a fool for no one, but baby, now I'm a fool for you.

Why won't you die?

So many words can't describe my face.

Why is everything so fucking hard for me?

Keep on trying, I'm not dying so easily.

I tried to paint you a picture. The colors were all wrong. Black and white didn't fit you.

It's just a moment of change.

When I close my eyes.

I'll fly away, far away from here.

I'll be fine.

Just be who you are.

Live like you mean it, love until you feel it.

Nothing is real until it's gone.

I never knew what love was for.

Love will remain a mystery.

If I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know how to say how I feel.

Those three words are said too much. They're not enough.

Would you tell me how it could be any better than this?

You're all I want, you're all I need. You're everything.

I thought I lost you but you were never really there at all.

I give up forever to touch you.

All I can breathe is your life.

Everything's meant to be broken.

I just want you to know who I am.

You bleed just to know you're alive.

I've never been perfect but neither have you.

I can't be who you are.

No one would listen, cause no one else cared.

I'm strong on the surface, not all the way through.

If the silence takes you, I hope it takes me too.

I've got a hunger, twisting my stomach into knots.

We left our love in our summer skin.

You and me have seen everything to see.
The time for sleep is now.

It was one hundred degrees, as we sat beneath a willow tree.

My head is weak, my heart always speaks.

There's a tear in the fabric of your favorite dress.

Your heart is a river that flows from your chest.

There's no blame for how our love did slowly fade and now that it's gone it's like it wasn't there at all.

Lying awake at night.

The California sun cascading down my face.

So one last touch and then you'll go.

To tell the difference between shooting stars and satellites from the passenger seat as you are driving me home.

Can you tell me why you have been so sad?

Remembering when you were mine.

This is fact not fiction for the first time in years.

I'm reaching for the phone.

I should have given you a reason to stay.

A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere.

And all you see is where else you could be when you're at home.
There on the street are so many possibilities to not be alone

You may tire of me as our December sun is setting because I'm not who I used to be.

On the back of a motor bike with your arms outstretched, trying to take flight, leaving everything behind.

The gift of memory is an awful curse.

Last night I dreamt that I was you.

I remember when the days were long.

I've packed a change of clothes and it's time to move on.

And this is all that's left: The empty bottles, spent cigarettes.
