When I feel your eyes on me I fall to my knees
And I wait for your look to judge and define me
I'm just a thin shell breaking in your palm
Starving for substance, identity
I am not afraid of this act of mutual creation
I take from you as you take from me
Like nervous hands reaching out for each other
Your eyes can tell no lies, I am what you see
You're my mirror
Everything I do I see in you
You're my mirror
In your eyes I hide
You're my mirror
What you see is what you're giving me
You're my mirror
In your eyes
As I turn around to leave, still in your spell
I catch a glimpse of my reflection in the window by your bed
What an odd surprise to bump into myself like this
I can see right through myself to the flowers on your lawn
And the empty space before me swallows everything you give
I turn back to your look to find peace in your eyes
I'm nothing without you, I'm hollow without you
You're my mirror
Everything I do I see in you
You're my mirror
In your eyes I hide
You're my mirror
What you see is what you're giving me
You're my mirror
It's in your eyes
I find in his look an insecurity childishly submissive
I say foolish things I do strange things for attention
He finds within me some kind of unfamiliar hardness
He sees both the child and the cynic
Everything I hold inside of me
Everything I'm hoping I can be
You're my mirror
Everything I do I see in you
You're my mirror
In your eyes I hide
You're my mirror
What you see is what you're giving me
You're my mirror
It's in your eyes |

I could have sworn I had you wrapped around my finger
Could have sworn I had you eating out of my hand
I could have sworn I was the first the last the one the only
I Should have known that you're not easily persuaded
Should have known that you're not that easy to impress
Should have known that I'd be the one to lose my head and heart and marbles
I'm down on my knees
Shaking
Hardly breathing
I'm aching
Silently heating
When you're watching me like that
Fuel to the fire
When you're touching me like that
Fuel to the fire
When you're kissing me like that
Fuel to the fire
And when we make love like this
I burn with desire
Fuel to the fire
Burning
So don't tell me you didn't mean for this to happen
You won't be here when I wake up
You gotta tell me that you will give in and out and over
That you're down on your knees
Fuel to the fire in me |

Forever
I could search for words and nothing I would find
Forever
I could seek your truth and nothing you'd reveal
So now I must leave while I can
While I'm still in one piece
Either way I will be lonely
And maybe you'll see what I meant
Maybe It's not much
Maybe
Forever
I could await your call
and nothing I would hear
And never would I find peace, no no no
With you, you
So now I must leave while I can
While I'm still in one piece
Either way I will be lonely
And maybe you'll see what I meant
Maybe It's not much
Maybe
Maybe you'll see that you needn't be frightened
You can do better
You know better
Should I find courage to keep on pushing you
Maybe you'd open
Well who am I fooling
Forever
Huh... |

If I'd had what you have
Had been bad like you have
Heaven help me
If I'd lied like you lie
Had the guts to deny
Heaven help me
If I'd lost my head
Like you keep losing your head
Heaven help me
If I'd done what you've done
Pushed erase and moved on
Heaven help me out
If I'd done what you've done
You would turn away
If I'd sinned like you've sinned
You would choke with dismay
And you would wash your hands in the disdain that feeds on your guilt
You would not find
Silence leaves you blind
I don't bite like you bite
Heaven see me
I try hard to be real
I don't hide what I feel
Heaven see me
I can't tell when you fake
It don't show when you break
Heaven see me
I don't run from what I do
I can't run as fast as you
Heaven see me through
No you don't have to tell
There's no need for us to dwell
I know that it makes no difference at all
The problem that we face is that you cannot embrace
That it goes both ways
If I'd run like you
If I'd lied like you
You would wash your hands
Silence is a choice
It doesn't buy you risk free neutrality
Doesn't buy you off
It's a statement and I never fail to catch your point
No I never fail to catch your point |

Don't misunderstand me now but when people saw a match in you and
I, I always wondered why
I always thought we were the strangest combination heat and cold
Obedience versus defy
But I kinda figured I'd take one day at a time
May as well try before we said goodbye
But now I realise you've sneaked up on my heart and left me
Loving you this time I can't deny
I have never needed you like this before
Now I don't waste my energy on doubts no more
All of a sudden it seems obvious that this was meant to be
They saw through you and me
They saw that underneath that arrogance of yours
I'd find a fragile heart as loving as can be
I know I let you down a hundred times before I'd sometimes flee
I'm sorry that's just me
But you've convinced me with the strength of this pure love
Now it's my turn to set in to make you see
I have never needed you like this before
Now I don't waste my energy on doubts no more
Did I push you away with my doubts
When I left you lonely then
Not knowing when we'd meet again
Did I hesitate for too long
Has your love given up on me
Ready now to let it be
I know I let you down a hundred times before
I'd sometimes flee
So sorry that's just me
But you've convinced me with the strength of this pure love and now
It's my turn
It's my turn to make you see
I have never needed you like this before
Now I don't waste my energy on doubts no more
Now I have never needed you like this before
And what it is you're given me I just want more
Yeah, what it is you're given me I just want more |

You sit by the window
Watching the wind blow his childish affection
In every direction
He screams when you whisper
Laughs when you cry
But this voice inside you
Keeps you from asking him why
You wanna see how far he'll take
Shine as you come to heel
You wanna see how long you can fake it
Knowing you'd better
Watch your tongue now girl
I bet you'd look real pretty
If you'd lay off the self-pity
Watch your tongue now girl
I like to disturb you
I like to dig into your meaningless phrases
Your various faces
I love to talk dirty
I love to make fun
But it's hard when I'm staring into the barrel of your gun
I wanna see how far I can make it
Shine as I come to heel
I wanna be someone
I won't fake it
Don't you tell me
Watch your tongue now girl
I bet you'd look real pretty
If you'd stop trying to be witty
Watch your tongue now girl
I can't keep quiet
I cannot |

Everyone stares
Awkwardly drawn
They watch her pretend to be as boring as she seems
I'm on my toes
I hang on her words
I ache to reveal the dark potential in her dreams
So I tear her apart
'cause I'm curious to know what's inside her belly
I tear her apart
'cause I'm curious to know
Yes I'm curious to know
What is inside
What is her secret
The storm in her eyes
Her disguise
The truth in her lies
What is her secret
It's breaking her down to the ground
The stain on her dress
The air heavy with fear
Every story her eyes can tell will lead you back to here
So you tear her apart
'cause you're curious to know what's inside her belly
You tear her apart
'cause you're curious to know
Yes you're curious to know
What is inside
What is inside
What lies behind |
| » Your Waste Of Time « |
I've never seen you this restless before
So displeased
Not the least bit ingrained where you are
I see you fade as your goals wear you out
You add up
You sum up
What's attained so far
Every minute is precious to you
Fall behind
Back in line
Wasting your time
I say the end doesn't justify a thing
'cause right now
What about now
Couldn't I clear out your mind
Let me be your waste of time
I can be anything you need
Your demanding I will meet
If you want it
I bet you'll be begging me for more
'cause what I give you can't ignore
I assure you won't be bored
If you let me
You fear the day you wake up by my side
Way too old
Too established to do as you please
When you please
Afraid of all the regrets you might have
Why did I
Didn't I
Can't stop wondering why
No matter how hard you try
You'll be sorry
Your glory will fade
When you look back
But I promise you
You won't be missing out on a thing
Take your time
Waste your time
Let me clear out your mind
Every second is precious to you
How you strive
Wait in line
To sign up
Hasten through life
For what
What for
For what
I say the end doesn't justify a thing
'cause right now
What about now
Couldn't I clear out your mind |

Hear me out
I have to tell you something
Your endless hesitation wears me out
I know that's just who you are
You're quiet
But all that I want
All that I need
Is a little bit of honesty when it comes to the matter of your inner wishes and wants
Why is that such a problem for you
Hear me out
I really have to tell you
Your calm preoccupation wears me out
With all that you do and all that you say
It's a little bit too bizarre
You're not giving me one good reason to hold on
Won't you hear me
It's hard enough as it is
Oh baby
You're so very
Driving me crazy
Won't you hear me
It's hard enough as it is
Oh baby
You make me worry
We have to try both you and I 'cause we are different
I let it show
You have to know that I am different
It is up to you give me a clue
How are you different
Just reach out to me
Just let me see
Help me out
I really need to know you
Your casual concealments freak me out
What
You think I can't tell
With all that I've heard
All that they say
It'd be a little bit strange for you to say no
I reckon that's still a problem for you
Ask me out
You could help me on my way
Some sense of empathy is one of those fundamental things that anyone should know
Yet every time and everywhere we go
It feels as if I'm always two steps behind
How can you love me when you don't know me |
| » Back Where We Started « |
It's cold when it's October here
So I guess I won't see you at my birthday this year
And who'd have thought a love like this
Would wither and wash out as a winter pulls near
I'm not gonna cry about it
No, I'm just gonna lie about it
Your laughter filling my sails
So
Back where we started
Back where we started
And why don't we just leave it
No
Not broken-hearted
Just back where we started
And why don't we just leave it at that
Leave it at that...
The summer asked no questions
And the winds found no excuse to abridge our story
(Over)
Nature is a faithless friend
And counting on her favours will make you sorry
(Over)
I'm not gonna cry about you
It's not like I'll die without you
Your laughter filling my sails
So
Back where we started
Back where we started
And why don't we just leave it
No
Not broken-hearted
Just back where we started
And why don't we just leave it at that
Leave it at that... |

I wouldn't put my bets on me if I were you
I bet you'd find I'm not as balanced as I seem
I need to redecorate at least a hundred thousand times a day
Can't let anything take root
And loving me you'd always be a slave to this confusion
So if I'm on the way to your heart
If I'm on the way to your heart
Send my best to your heart
If I'm on the way to your heart
Heaven help you
Some day you'll ask me what's the source of this despair
I might as well just turn my back on you and leave
'Cause it's the same damn thing every time I try to fill somebody in
Too many words is silence
And loving me you'd always be a slave to this frustration
And I would be the unknown quantity in your equation
So if I'm on the way to your heart
If I'm on the way to your heart
Send my best to your heart
If I'm on the way to your heart
Heaven help you
I'd love to love you tomorrow too
But I'm unable to promise to be there for you
Reflecting's got me freaking
And you can't speed up the solving
I only hope
I hope to love you tomorrow too
Now you should heed these words if you care about yourself
And try to reason do you dare play this wicked game
If you get too involved then you know you've got an awful lot to lose
In the end you'll be alone
'Cause loving me you'll always be a slave to this frustration
And I will be the unknown quantity in you equation
So if I'm on the way to your heart
If I'm on the way to your heart
Send my best to your heart
If I'm on the way to your heart
Heaven help you
I'd love to love you tomorrow too
But I'm unable to promise to be there for you
Reflecting's got me freaking
And you can't speed up the solving
I only hope
I hope to love you tomorrow too |
