if you don't know how to touch me
you can call me on the phone
and if you don't know how to kiss me
it doesn't mean you have to go
have you been outta luck before
or maybe shy?
i wish you would call me up
cause i'd like to take you for a ride
oh... oh oh oh....oh....oh oh oh....here we go again
an other guy
who'd like to be just friends
I went
to the flower shop
cause the clerk there is
my confidant
she said she saw
you just the other day
buying roses for some one named May
if those roses do not get the girl for you
well, I could use a few
i wouldn't mind if i was only second best
but if i'm fourth or fith don't make me take this test
oh... oh oh oh....oh....oh oh oh....here we go again
an other guy
who'd like to be just friends
you tell me that i you think i'm pretty swell
you just like to be alone
but i know that's just a bad excuse
to wind me up, and set me loose
I try to keep in mind the benefit of doubt
take lots of chances
before i rule you out
the only benefit that i've begun to see
is the wrong kinda guy,
knows i'm out to please.
oh... oh oh oh....oh....oh oh oh....here we go again
an other guy
who'd like to be just friends

What you need

Is a strong cup of coffee after sleeping next to me
What I think that I
Really want from you
Is complete destruction would you sabotage my view?
If we were a movie, this is where we’d kiss
The rain is pouring down & your face is wet
but instead you stand there,
looking at you phone
I saw it’s not stopping,
come on lets go
Now we’re riding
in your car
you’re telling me what’s wrong with me
and I don’t say nothing at all
It aint no secret
yeah everyone can tell
the things that we deny and pretend not to be
-
Its not your fault, you meant it well
But If I’m weakening your heart you are weakening my will
-
Driving round in circles looking for another place to go
Drinking plastic beers in the hopes it doesn’t show
Your mind is a stranger
from a place I know too well
I could navigate your vices like a ship that came from hell
and I could understand you
the way that no one has before
But I know where you’ve been & I
Do not intend to go
-
its not your fault
you meant it well
but if i am weakening your heart you are weakening my will.

Jackal

i see you dancing across the room and i think that you got something i could
use
and you're moving so slow
i've felt this before, I don't like that it's creeping back again
you're brighter than the rest and i know that means i'm fallin' for you
babe.
your words pour out like water and i think you may be standing on a
campfire
I don't wanna love you babe
(bridge)
what would it do except quietly bury you
i know the pleasure gives to pleasure gives to hate
but you're moving so slow
pushing out the air and i can feel the current in the space around you
devil be my witness i will never take you from this infinite complex design
you need no strings to pull you all you need is what you feel and
i will never call you mine
grinning like a half-blood jackal
you are the fascinating kind
and you're moving so slow
and you're moving so slow

I don't have time for heroine, and you are pretty good friends with him.
I could never give enough or something that you think is love.
I have been waiting on a shake down, break down. Now I try not to see you around. Once of these days he is going to put you down. I will not be waiting on you.

Sweet Denial

what do you want from me?
another sweet denial
to tell you that i've been here all alone all night?
but i don't want to be
have to quiet down
and the hurry up
hurry up
and calm you down
i don't know how you
stay so pure
when you're lips are so red
and you' ve got all those curls
if i had just one wish
i'd wish for you
but the danilions in the park
are million and a few
i blew them all
to the wind
and they'll fall
but i don't wanna be
have to quiet down
and then hurry up, hurry up
and calm you down
what do i know
about a broken heart?
when you glue it back together
it almost look the way it started out
just itty bitty cracks
and yours is pretty hard to hold cause
it's intact
but i don't wanna be
have to quiet down
and then hurry up, hurry up
and calm you down
i know you really ought to be the person that could comfort me
but i don't like to tell you all those things weighing down on me
don't want to see
water in your eyes
if the world was not so cruel
i would not make you mine
and now i gotta be
have to quiet down
and then hurry up, hurry up
and calm you down

Have you come a long way since the other day?
Have you got some new fines that you gotta pay?
Go out to bask in the crowd
Get me riled up and then you calm down
You wanna talk about aliens
You wanna talk about the end of the world
Why would you wanna be out there? (feeling so small)
Wouldn't you rather be in here? (you could have it all)
And you wouldn't really mind if I went away
But you tell me, just stay
You never pay the bills
Cause you don't think they know you live here
But your name is on the mailbox
Would you get to work on time?
And you wouldn't really mind if I went away
But you tell me, just stay
You give love but it's a little love
And you pour me wine and it's a great time
If I'm here much longer
I will surely die.

Hard

working hard
like you know you're going to fall
make up your mind
no time
you say you'll tell me when
you decide
but you've made your choice
the choice is now behind
you never stay
because you are a shooting star
and you like what you find
cause it's so fine
and every day you tell me that you're
so alone
but you like to be the best
your company is pressed
so pressed
I wish that you
would find some thing to do
to make you feel
you're real
and I know you are a faerie and
I know you're not a fraud
still i will not concede that there's no
place you can belong
would you just please change your mind
somewhere else the air feels fine

Afternoon

Where do you go when you wanna be?
I got eyes but my eyes don't see
Can't find the rhythm, can't get out of this afternoon
Brother come home with the fire in his eye
been sitting by the lake till the cops drive by
take off your hat boy you can't deny
mamma woulda known you been acting so shy
Can't keep you outta the street in the summertime
Just sitting and wait and thinking someone will come and put you down
been sitting and waiting so long you know your time has come and gone
Can't clear the wreck when rain is overdue
We found out it was not the truth
Protocol can not save you.
All that time looking for the love I thought I lost
Turns out they sell it at the corner shop.
Called you name didn't call mine call mine
Try figure out how to get back all my wasted time
This debt you've given me is doing me in.

Honey I’m much too old to know
The way you feel when you feel shame
If you were a women you’d be getting old
but you are a man, unchanged
been a lot of places thinking someone ought to fall in love
with you
spent a lot of time drinking thinking something else will take its place
when you’re through
I called you out, I made you mine
Then I tried to run but your gentleness was much too bright
I called you out, I made you mine
but when I tried to run your gentleness was much too bright
take a lot of pains to make the day go by
its gone
waiting for an other thinking that some other won’t
let you down
honey I’m much to old to know
the way it feels to want such things
I don’t want nothing anymore
that’s why I can’t love you or anything.

Put Me In Your Car

Got a knot
Would you take me where you're gonna be?
I don't wanna go home
I don't want you to go.
I am small you could fit me in your car
I don't take very much
I won't take much at all.
And if you want I could hold your hand
It don't take very much for my heart to be had
Just don't go I don't want you to go.
I don't want you to leave, I don't want you to go.
I am small you could fit me in your car
I don't take very much
I won't take much at all.
Just don't go I don't want you to go.
I don't want you to leave, I don't want you to go.
