November 01:19
and who would've thought that in November I'd fall in-love again? Oh no not me, with my little hopes, little dreams and what I'm not prepared to be But you got in like a flash of light a little under six foot, not quite my height But you've got heart where it counts In everything and still me, and my little doubts and that's where it should stay Hoped it would stay and I just hope that you'll stay

A Lover 01:50
I'm loose like cut out veins I'm bleeding over thoughts of you and me and I'm caught up in dirty sheets Just thinking thoughts of you and me But don't let me go, Or am I better off alone? and don't let me go, 'cause I'm no good on my own But you'll beg your bed to let him stay the night While I convince my mind that we're fine But I can't find a map or a reaction to that 'Cause it feels like I'm hollow inside And I hate the way you say his name 'Cause I should mean more to you than it seems to mean.

I hope that I'm not waiting for a ghost Reluctantly your shadow is keeping me afloat Am I not your lover? Or just a stolen boat With no plans of docking, I'm left out here alone So I'll roam, The blacker my heart, the harder my start and I've got my skin until I tear it from within and don't let me go I just want to forget what it's like to sleep alone So I'll roam, I hope forever means something to you and that I'm not a name and a distance Until it's put to use But her eyes they made my heart hurt and her laugh it sang a song That trailed off down my spine and struck every single nerve Now I'm stuck here in a quiver, a streaking cry of pain and did my actions take their toll? Or was there life to see her pain? 'Cos you're so much more than I am, How could I have been so small? To let anger into my bones? and cause you so much dismay. 'Cos you're so much more than I am.
