ASKING YOU

Walk down that hall, take me to that room, shut the door
And close the lights too
Turn on the radio, take off that TV, sit me down
And speak real softly
I`ll pay my attentions to things you don`t say
I`ll turn them this way and I`ll turn them the other way

And I`m asking you is this how you want me
To be anything you want me to be
And I`m asking you is this how you see me
Some little girl kissing your cheek

As the sun begins to rise, it cuts through the glass
And it burns my flesh with every lash
I look at myself as others see myself
And I don`t understand how this is myself
Walk down that hall, take me to that room, shut the door
And close those lights too

I`m walking down the stairs to leave
And out of the dark her eyes catch me
You`re  looking at me like you expect to see
Something there that I can`t be
And i`m asking you to let me walk away this time
`Cause I can`t be her anymore



COULDN`T BREATHE

Welcome me into your family
You try to show me the other side
Show me what I`ve been missing
You try to give me your life
I`m not trying to be the rebel
Just want my God-given right
If I`m going to fuck up my own life
I`m going to do it right

And I was too far to stand with you tonight
And I was too lost to find my way home
There was just this breath of air between us
And I couldn`t breathe

Sitting back for a moment
Thinking about a life-time of being alone with you
Remember lying in your arms one thousand feet off the ground
One thousand feet off the ground
The idea of jumping never came up

Standing on my ledge
Taking a jump
But it wasn`t the out that I need



5:30 SATURDAY MORNING

We fell in love at first glance
When our eyes met and our hearts raced
But nothing ever lasts in this life
So it ends there and I`m sittin` here

With this bottle of wine in one hand
And a cigarette in the other
The only thing on my body
Is the impression of you

So maybe I`m not a dreamer
But I`m too realistic to ask myself that
And maybe you weren`t looking at me
But at some her behind my shoulder

I`m with this bottle…

It`s a little cold where I`m sitting
Yet you seem so warm up there
And the emotions just pouring through
But I don`t know from who to where

We fell in love at first glance
When our eyes and our hearts raced
