Exposing our privates

Things always happen when I’m not around

Living in my own world I can’t find my own ground

The conflict in my head is so frustrating

Things always happen when I’m not around

When I got to the place where I saw your face

You weren’t there

I think you were when I didn’t care

Being alone is okay when you have a choice

The conflict in my head is so frustrating

Things always happen when I’m not around.

Why are you hiding behind that smile?

Avoiding my questions for a while

Am I an admirer who you’d rather fail?

A fleeting lapse, then you replace the veil

I would like to love, but I know not what it is

I set up my targets; I didn’t know I’d miss

I put my feelings on the shelf

Crushed by the dust of misguided years

Is this for me, am I worth the time?

But I know what you mean when you say things are fine

How can we be close when you hold me so far away?

Are you hiding your feelings for another day?

And I’ve something to tell you

And it’s something quite new

You thought you were the only one

Well, I do it too.

The lights in the room are human

And so are you

So why don’t I fit in here

Because I am too

If you ever find out, let me know

If you ever find out, let me know

Because I’d really like to

But as I trip lightly down the stairs

And fall flat on my face

I really have to wonder why

I’m not in the human race

Perhaps I’m too tall

Perhaps I’m to small

Perhaps I’m too funy

But I don’t think so

But this still doesn’t explain why

And if you keep me in suspense I’ll die

So if you ever find out, let me know

If you ever find out, let me know

Because I’d really like to

And as I open my mouth and words come out

It’s not what you want to hear

If you ever find out why, let me know

If you ever find out why, let me know

Because I’d really like to

The faceless name of a boy

I neven knew

And yet I shared

A most important thing with you

It took you 56 days

To break her heart

Her just slightly longer

To tear mine apart

Well dear girl

Or at least the one I knew

I am now

Completely over you

The sun rose

With me this morning

And in the still calm

I felt all thought drain away

But I do not need to think

I do not need to dream

For as she laid her head in my hand

I could see that she was breathing

I could see that she was smiling

The sky was drowning

Under the weight of it’s own sheer beauty

As we walked

Through the trees and fields

And the still calm

Drained all thought away

I saw sense coming my way

It said what I didn’t want it to say

And I know that’s the way

Things are in the end

Despite efforts to the contrary

Things happen like they should

And I wish but it won’t

Do any good

And I say, go away

And I say, go away

And I know you won’t

Take me to the place

Where I’ve never been before

If you can

But I can’t be sure

Do the things

That you know must be right

If you want you can see the light

But don’t shine it –

In my eyes

And I say, go away

And I say, go away

And I know you won’t.
