When the world is quiet
And the sun has gone to sleep
Your eyes still find a way
To see me in the dead of night
And burn right through my core

My heart beats for you...
You make complete sense to me and I feel nothing but safe in your world...
With you I could never be alone.
With you I could never be alone.
Could standing still fix all of our problems?
Would standing still maybe be better for us?
Is the possibility of pain worth the try?
Or is playing it safe the way to live life?
Safe... but forever on the move.

Better Than Us
You reached into my soul
And pulled my insides out
With a single glance
I lay naked on the floor
Stripped of my dignity
And all that had been hidden for so long
Raw emotion free for all to see
And the words I was unable to say
Were found out anyway
Because it was you
And your eyes see it all in me
There's no running
When you're in the room
And no lying
Because your depth knows better of me
It's the same old song
The story of a love that could never be
And no one knows the pain of that
Better than you and me
And pulled my insides out
With a single glance
I lay naked on the floor
Stripped of my dignity
And all that had been hidden for so long
Raw emotion free for all to see
And the words I was unable to say
Were found out anyway
Because it was you
And your eyes see it all in me
There's no running
When you're in the room
And no lying
Because your depth knows better of me
It's the same old song
The story of a love that could never be
And no one knows the pain of that
Better than you and me

Willing it into repair...
Why do you think it all panned out the way it did?
It seems strange sometimes... and even more odd that either of us still remember....
It makes a person wonder what it all means... and how we're supposed to know something is right... with enough time left, not to screw it all up.
When you screw it up once... is there ever any turning back? Can you repair something that was once damaged so entirely?
Who really knows anymore? All I seem to know is that everytime I think I've got it all sorted out... everytime I think perhaps I'm finally headed down the right track... I stumble, fall and realise maybe I'm not where I am meant to be.
I graze my knees and wonder if all this walking is getting me anywhere at all... anywhere other than laying in the dirt again with grazed knees and eyes full of tears.
Ever wonder if anything really changes at all?
Or am I just being dramatic?

In a Heart-Beat
I'd fall for you in a heart-beat
Love you for all the rest of time
I'd cherish and adore you
Show the whole world you're mine
I'd fall asleep at night
Right there by your side
I'd wait with you til morning
Greet the day and its sunlight
I'll always be quirky
A little strange and at times a geek
But I promise I'll love you
For all of my heart-beats
Love you for all the rest of time
I'd cherish and adore you
Show the whole world you're mine
I'd fall asleep at night
Right there by your side
I'd wait with you til morning
Greet the day and its sunlight
I'll always be quirky
A little strange and at times a geek
But I promise I'll love you
For all of my heart-beats
Distance
They say distance makes the heart grow fonder... this may be so... but what happens when it's distance you have but not what you seek?
What happens when there's a distant feeling lingering in the room but you want so much to feel as though the air is bringing with it hundreds of that one special person to fill all the space?
Then sometimes the fantasy breaks and reality sinks in and all of a sudden, you wonder if the distance just got too big somewhere along the way...
Now I wonder... how do you bring back together two worlds you had hoped would never part?

When I Was With You
What if we could go back
Live it all through one more time
I wish our love had been caught on tape
I would play it on repeat as I fall to sleep
And when it came time for it to end
I'd push rewind and do it all again
My heart never fluttered more
Than it did when I was with you
Live it all through one more time
I wish our love had been caught on tape
I would play it on repeat as I fall to sleep
And when it came time for it to end
I'd push rewind and do it all again
My heart never fluttered more
Than it did when I was with you
Inside Me
If my heart didn't see yours again for the rest of forever
It wouldn't change a thing
Because your place in my heart is never-ending
And will always belong inside of me
It wouldn't change a thing
Because your place in my heart is never-ending
And will always belong inside of me
Stay the Same
Please believe in me like you always have
Knowing you're there gives me strength
To carry on hoping
Knowing you're there gives me strength
To carry on hoping
For The Second Time
Take my hand
Take me for a walk
Down the streets
We used to know
Smile like the sun
Knowing all we have
Feeling the rush
Coming back
Let the thought of us
Change my life
For the second time
Take me for a walk
Down the streets
We used to know
Smile like the sun
Knowing all we have
Feeling the rush
Coming back
Let the thought of us
Change my life
For the second time

Choices
Everyday we are faced with choices and regardless of their size or the form in which they come, these choices will somehow, always hold relevance in our lives. Maybe not today and perhaps not tomorrow, but eventually the choices we make today, have the ability to transform IT all... forever.
The thing with choice is, there's really only ever you to blame for the decisions you make and the outcomes they produce. It's all about taking action and giving your gut exactly what it wants. Or is it?
Maybe it's better to ignore the desires we all harbour from deep within and play dumb for all eternity. It may not feel as good or as wild, but it has to make the most sense right?
Just because YOU may be feeling a moment of craziness, does not mean the rest of the world is feeling it right along with you. Besides, not everyone appreciates such honestly, even if you yourself welcome it.
A choice can be life altering for not only the person making the choice but also those around them and this is why the ability to choose should never be wreckless, nor taken for granted.
It's all about thinking and seeing through clear eyes with a clear mind. It's the only way to make choices that hopefully wont have devastating effects.
I've always been the 'thinker' kind but every now and again I too have made bad choices based on the poor judgement of an erratic heart-beat. I've believed forever that there couldn't possibly be another way to live - that we must all forever act and live, purely off instinct.
As I grow older, I suppose I have lost the innocent, child-like quality of believing that spontaneous action carries no consequence. I've come to realise the heart is fragile and should never be tampered with intentionally, especially if the possibility of it's tampering holds a negative effect.
If we were all free spirits put here to dance in and between a garden of roses for the rest of time, perhaps irrational fluttering of the heart resulting in gut wrenching decision making may be shone upon rather than frowned upon. This sadly isn't the case though, hence we all must learn to think rather than dance through life.
Unfortunately the heart knows no boundaries to this dance which is why the mind creates a safe circle around it, to ensure the decisions made by you or I, are are the best for all concerned.
Just because we may not act in ways we secretly wish we could, does not mean the thoughts do not exist. I suppose this is when those thoughts become dreams... dreams that follow your soul into its slumber and dance alongside you throughout the night.
Yes, these thoughts definitely exist... they're just not practical enough to follow through in the day-light hours... and I'm not sure they ever will be.
So we'll continue to dream by night and hopeful think by day knowing that our secret desires will appear to us in the hours kept shut by closed eyes... and we'll continue to live, love and learn this way... until the end of time.

And there it was... the sun - it shone.
With each day that the sun shows its effort by rising,
So too should we.
So too should we.
I wont wait
The day you tumble to your knees in regret
Is the day you realise you've left it all too late
And time waits for no man
Least of all you
Is the day you realise you've left it all too late
And time waits for no man
Least of all you
Never more than once.
You can't undo every mistake you've made in your life
All you can do is try your best not to let it happen again.
All you can do is try your best not to let it happen again.
It was grand...
What happened to the times in our lives when not a lot went wrong?
These times were grand and more spectacular than any other.
