Come Closer

As I think of every little thing
Every detail, every birthday
I wait until they…
Chorus
Come a little closer
Come a little closer
I hope to come back around again
Now the details are taken for granted
Forgotten until they…[chorus]
Stop asking me so many questions
Point the pinwheel towards the sunlight
And remember the time
The only time
And the shutter presses down, releases
Captures a trace of the pieces
And the shutter presses down, releases
Captures a trace of the pieces
Tell me the story again
I was ten years old
I’m sitting in the back of your blue convertible
Hair snaps my face and I…[chorus]

The Winning Ticket

They said you couldn’t touch
But I walked into another world
Like the chocolate factory
There was too much for the taking
Everybody wants the winning ticket
And somehow, I got it
It was a dream that almost came true
Plucking olives from the vine
The cosmos were aligned
King and queen for a day
Life is just too short that way
Your conscience is clean
I believe this one was a freebie
Like the winning ticket
How can you refuse cashing in?
It was as loud as thunder
But rain was so sweet and…
Tender, falling, falling,…
Falling, caught by the down of feathers
Carry me into another realm
And gently into the day after
There’s no turning back
It feels so rich, but then it costs you something
Blame it on the day
That you had like no other
A stolen moment
A sweet surrender
You give in…
It’s real and
Yet it’s not
It’s going to be tomorrow soon
The candles are all blown out
It’s already in the past
And the ticket is collected
It’s a dream that came true
But the truth is dreams are for you
And nobody else, nobody else, nobody else
Noone, noone…hey, hey
I’m here, I’m back, stepping into reality
I’m here, I’m back, but it was real

Right Next To Me

I’ve cleared everything out
Right angles, folded clothes
And a bare floor
Trying to hide these parts of my life
Not giving away the whole story
I’d reveal it in code
The truth would spill out
This one can’t go
Peeling away the layers
Two pools of blue…
Send me back and forth and back to you
And away…let’s wander through the streets
Right next to me, you are right next to me
I’m in a conference room
Outside the gargoyles look back at me
As if to say something
Sitting at the large table built to intimidate
I’m lost, I have no idea what they’re saying
I appear to be interested but think…
I want the quiet back, I want the quiet back
I want the quiet back, I want quiet
I’ve cleared everything out
Right angles, folded clothes
And a bare floor
Trying to hide these parts of my life
Not giving away the whole story…the whole story
This one can’t go
This one can’t go
This one can’t go

The Simple Face of Love

Every soul is sweet
Encased in a permeable beauty
Eyes, cheek bones, expression
The simple face of love
You can’t deny the longing
I won’t deny your feelings
With a bat of the eyelids
It seals the deal
Canopy of clouds
Breaks away and reveals more
The web remains dispersing light and darkness
We climb through together
With a map in hand
Lips part to speak
It’s what fate had planned
With a question mark in the forehead
That a glance will erase
Smooth away the wrinkles
Blush and talk and the longing turns into touch
Every soul is sweet
Encased in a permeable beauty
Heel, ball, toe, you move forward to me
Jut my hip with indifference
You answer me in arms
The simple face of love
How did fate know who was who?
Your face and mine in tune
Point to where you want to go
I’ll be right there with you
You can’t deny the longing
I won’t deny your feelings
With a bat of the eyelids
It seals the deal
The simple face of love
The simple face of love
