Fizzle
03:59
|

I see
You’re all that I need
And if you wanna be
Closer that’s fine with me
I might
Be silent all night
Unless you let me unwind
Enough to speak my mind
We’ll just fizzle away
We’ll just fizzle away
We’ll just fizzle away
We’ll just fizzle away
We’ll just fizzle away
We’ll just fizzle away
You wait
For me to contemplate
A way to cleverly state
That I think we relate
To me
You are like poetry
That I may never read
And that’s just fine with me
We’ll just fizzle away
We’ll just fizzle away
We’ll just fizzle away
We’ll just fizzle away
We’ll just fizzle away
We’ll just fizzle away
I’ve got nothing to say
We’ll just fizzle away
We’ll just fizzle away
Maybe some other day
We’ll just fizzle away
We’ll just fizzle away
I just wanted so much to hold you
I just wanted so much to be near you
I just wanted so much to be in your arms
I just wanted to hear you tell me
That you wanted me near and compel me
To get over my fear of falling for you
But then I knew
We’d just fizzle away
We’ll just fizzle away
We’ll just fizzle away
We’ll just fizzle away
We’ll just fizzle away
We’ll just fizzle away
It’s my only mistake
Letting you slip away
If you’d only relayed
That you wanted to stay
We’d still be here today
Only now it’s too late

Momentary Bliss
03:53
|
|||
Here we are
Trying so hard
To hold on to this
Momentary bliss
My desires erased
All my longing replaced
As I glimpse what life
Without end would be like
And I hold back fear
You will disappear
And the love you’ve shown me
Survives as only a dream
Don’t disturb
This nearly perfect moment
Your face
Your secure embrace
I am mesmerized
Stunned, transfixed, paralyzed
All control is yours
I’m a mere amateur
I can feel your heart against mine
Apart by one beat
We start to unravel
Parting from creeping worry
That you’ll soon hurry
Back to your other
But I’m your lover for now
Wait a bit longer
Just a little more time

Reach You
06:54
|
|||
Look into me and walk away
I fall for every word you say
I feel like such a naive fool
For letting you in to take and twist and break the rules
Into my guarded heart you saw
Tearing me open and exposing every flaw
Another fish caught on your line
You throw me back and still I get hooked every time
And no matter what I try
I’m the one on the losing side
I am yours to wrap around
Pull me in or let me out
I desperately want to believe
When you say you’ll be leaving him to be with me
Further I’m pulled into your game
Foolishly convinced that I can make a move to sway you
You have no clue of what you want
And I’m captive waiting for you to figure it out
Go on and on blaming the world
Full of boys and villains out to hurt this oh-so fragile girl
And no matter what you try
You’re the one on the losing side
I am yours to wrap around
Pull me in or let me out
And that’s the compromise
I give myself to you to give away
And then you’d realize
That I’m the only one you want to save
And that’s the compromise
I give myself to you to give away
And then you’d realize
That I’m the only one you want to save
Will I ever really reach you?
Will I ever really reach you?
Will I ever really reach you?
Will I ever really reach you?
Will I ever really reach you?
Will I ever really reach you?
Will I ever really reach you?
Will I ever really reach you?
I’m a king of wishful thinking
I’m a king of wishful thinking
I’m a king of wishful thinking
I’m a king of wishful thinking
Will I ever really reach you?
Will I ever really reach you?
Will I ever really reach you?
Will I ever really reach you?

Here in the Future
03:14
|
|||
There in the window
Trapped in reflection
Behind closed eyelids
I hide this shattered projection
Here it remains
Dormant love, empty pain
You may have changed
Still I feel much the same
Are you still looking
For second glances?
How can you be happy
Living with passed away chances?
And when I die
Way too young, who’s to blame?
Still I’ll remain
In your eyes, in your pain
Here in the future
There are no questions
All disappointments
Stay trapped in reflection
Here it remains
Through each love you exchange
No one became
What we started to make
It was shattered and replaced

Should-Haves
04:15
|

Everybody wants
Everybody needs
To hear the right words
To hear the right chords
Anything you want
Anything you do
Can be the right thing
At the right time
Nothing could have been
The way it should have
And nothing should have been
The way it could have
I will never be
What I should have been
I am already
All I could have been
I will never do
All I’m supposed to
But while I’m busy trying
I do what I need to
We will always be
What-ifs and could-haves
We’ll never complete
All the should-haves
And maybe that’s best for now
And maybe that’s best for always
And maybe that’s best for now
And maybe that’s best for always

Bitter Memory
04:06
|
|||
I thought I told you I don’t want us anymore
I thought I showed you I was closing off that door
So you would know for sure
We’d stay a bitter memory
That I would happily ignore
You don’t have to write me just to say hello
You don’t need reminders of what you already know
Did you fail to hear
When I made it clear to you and for myself
I’ve had enough of hell for one life
I don’t care if you’re alone and losing friends
I don’t buy your empty attempts to make amends
Haven’t you moved on
And found another sap to wrap your life around
And drag him through the ground
Was I somehow supposed to know
That months from then you’d still not let go
“I’m doing fine.
Living alone, working late at night.
I’m a bit surprised to hear from you.
I thought I made this clear to you.
I’m not trying to be mean.
I’m doing this for me.
I meant each word I said before.
I don’t want you in my life anymore.”
Come on over we could hang out for a while
It’d be nice to hear your voice and see your smile
If it gets too late
There is plenty of space to crash here for the night
You know it’d be alright
I’m only here for three more days
And I am not afraid to make mistakes
Couldn’t you have let me know
That years from then I’d still not let go
