I am today as I ever was
And never to be
How foolish I was
To let you in
Like oxygen in the air
It fades away like everything has

But just breath they said
Like nothing ever happened
How could they
After everything they did
Like nothing ever happened
I breath
But with pain
And decided I should stay

But still pain haunts me
Just like you
Why can’t you let me breath
As I was to never be

Goodbye past
I said to them
To be able to breath
Without pain

that's the thing,
the way
that we make
the pendulum swing
the swish when it cuts
through the air,
when it goes and comes back
to where it began.

Across the bridges that sigh and
in the blink of an eye, she
is transported to be courted
the old fashioned way and
that's the thing,
the way
that we make
the pendulum swing.

I could stand at the top of the world
Looking down across the lights spread out like twinkling spiderwebs on the ground
Little galaxies full of life,
I could stand in the dark and see them all
And it would still be your light I craved.
It would be your gravity that pulled me.
Of every light like a glittering jewel on the backs of these black velvet waves
It would be you. Just you.
I search without knowing why
Without knowing how.
I search even when I know
You are not there.
I search until I find you, however long it ever takes
And when I do I can't stop looking at your face
As if to glance away would be to lose you all over again,
When really you are just like all the others, wheeling in this sea of nighttime shadows and starlight-
When really you have no notion to be treasured or missed
Or longed for.
And yet I can't help it, I can't stop it-
I look for you.
I look to you.
Just you.

I ache for my first kiss
Just a taste from her lips
An embrace from her warmth
Like the light in her heart
Kiss me in the light
Where the sun shines
To where we first met
In the middle of Tibet
So listen to what I say
I love you and I would stay
No matter where we at
I love you till my death
Beyond the stars and back
