when i try to write for you, nothing comes to mind cause you steal my words and when i get them back they're all confused how can i write a love song when i don't know what love even is how can i write of heartbreak when you haven't left me in the cold i guess i could say that your eyes make me smile and i guess i should mention that you still make me nervous at times nobody's made me feel as needed as you and if only i could see you, i could let you know you cover my imperfections so the beauty can show and i don't know if you know it but i miss you and i wish you could come home i wonder if i'm enough for you but tell me you need me and it'll give me a clue i guess i'm fluent in foolish cause i'm not being clear but i think i might love you and i wish you were here

Wisdom 02:46
i listen to his heartbeat the rhythm makes me sure so i shut my eyes and sing along and endure but you never say you love me but you don't have to tell me cause all you do, it'll prove if you do yeah all you do, it'll prove if it's true i look into his eyes and they tell me all i know the darkness fills me with light and so much more and i never said i love you cause it means much more than i do and after this, all this, i admit that i love you, still do, it's true and when i can't see your eyes it's hard to feel i'm alive and i'm falling i'm falling, i'm falling through the wisdom of worlds and i know that when the spinning is done we'll both end up where we started from but it's alright (chorus) i feel his hands in mine but it's really been awhile so i shut my eyes and just pretend that i'm alive

let's make this simple no more crying on the telephone and if you want me, just say it loud and i'll be home it's been a long time chasing words and their melodies so if you love me, sing it loud and i'll be home i'm stronger, now that i've realized that you're the one who makes this waiting what i need there's a sad song where my heart used to be the words are soft, and colorful, and true but they're desperate too it's left me lonely waking up with my heart in your hands so don't forget me cause i'll lose you (chorus) i'm fine with the distance this lonely persistence i'll make if i don't see your smile but i need to know now if you think it's worth it to pull through these telephone wires at each other's hearts (chorus)

madame blackwell is in the backseat and she's crying, she's crying and mister blackwell is in side and he's dying, he's dying if she was a tree, she'd be a cut down tree and if she was a bird, she'd be a broken bird madame blackwell said please, don't you drop my world but mister blackwell, he's ugly inside and out but all she could think is maybe he's more beautiful on the other side, where the grass is greener but soon she would see that he's an animal too so she says judge me allow my thoughts to permeate your mind and then discard me, leave me lifeless an empty shell, whatever so now she's free free from nothing free from it all
5.
And She Says 03:07
she finds it hard to call him cause that would mean he's gone and she'd really like to thank him just for who he's been but just can't think of how and she says when i'm with you you are me and i am you all i can see and she says when you're with me you are you and i am me just what i need (do you remember what you told her that one lonely night, well she still recites it in her mind cause she's fighting inside) not a moment goes by that he don't cross her mind and she's just wondering why and she'd really like to relate to him what she's been thinking but just can't think of how (chorus) one afternoon he stood in the rain and it's something that she can't explain but something's changed and it's him she'll thank (chorus)
