Loveseat

why are you sitting over there when I'm over here
in this great big chair
are you afraid of what I might say
that I like you and then you'd have to run away

you don't have to sit so far away from me
when there's this loveseat
'cause it's just me and it's meant for two
and there's a space for me and a space for you
and I think you're sweet

you could ride a bike or you could take a plane
would you get here faster, would you feel the same
I could draw you a map that gets you here today
but you're only twenty five feet away

you don't have to sit so far away from me
when there's this loveseat
'cause it's just me and it's meant for two
and there's a space for me and a space for you
and I think you're sweet

cherry red upholstery
it won't mean a thing until you sit next to me
la la la la la

you don't have to sit so far away from me
when there's this loveseat
'cause it's just me and it's meant for two
and there's a space for me and a space for you
and I think you're sweet

That And Everything

I'm crazy for the sound of his voice
I think I found a boy who makes me smile
let's hold hands for a while

blue eyes like the sky he makes me dream about a time
when maybe we could run away and hide
I'd always have him by my side

I'm thinking of his name over and over again
I'd like to see him soon
in the light of a shining moon

blue eyes like the sky he makes me dream about a time
when maybe we could run away and hide
I'd always have him by my side

I dreamed that he was here, a picture I hold dear
a kiss that might have been
wait till I sleep, I'll kiss him then

blue eyes like the sky he makes me dream about a time
when maybe we could run away and hide
I'd always have him by my side
and if it's only in my head
this dream is worth all that he said
saying everything I mean, I cherish that and everything
cherish that and everything

Goodbye

both of us know that this romance has ended
but we both pretended it wasn't this soon
I was so young and you swept me away
now I'm twenty-two and I don't love you anymore
I'm sorry to say, so what do I do when you ask me to stay
I like you enough still, I wish you the best
but I'm letting go now of all of the rest

all of your promises broke from the weight of
too many mistakes realized it too late
everything I know I learned it from you
but watching you go what did I know about love
you said it was true, then you left me crying for somebody new
I don't understand and I don't think that I
can ever forgive you, let's just say goodbye
goodbye

I won't be angry and you not ashamed
no one needs to be blamed, we just don't love the same
I tried to tell you but you didn't hear
now it's even true I won't be there for you anymore
I'm sorry to say, so how can you still look at me the same way
thanks for the nice things and maybe in time
I won't remember you ever were mine
goodbye
goodbye

You Don't Like Me Anymore

standing in my kitchen we're staring at our shoes
you don't have to pretend anymore
I'm going away today, nothing could make me stay
I guess I'm better off this way

standing in my kitchen let's suck the coffee down
you're scared to find the words to let me know
but I know what's on your mind, your love for me is left behind
at least you're not being unkind

standing in my kitchen my heart's all twisted up
I can't believe I've grown so fond of you
but it's time to let you go, why crushes fade I'll never know
this healing process is so slow

you don't like me anymore

Snow Like This

lately the sun's been hiding
there's nothing much exciting
about all these dreary days
I miss you in so many ways

bears are hibernating
freezing cold is understating
this morning weather
I wish we were together

so I'll rub away the window frost
in snow like this I could get lost
but I'd tunnel through to get to you
then I'd never say goodbye
oh it keeps on coming down
and I write your name there on the ground
but it disappears in frozen tears
that are falling from the sky

outside the snow keeps falling
if you're cold then I'll come calling
these winter days I find
seems you're always on my mind

oh if you only knew
just how much I think of you
I might not be so cold
if I had your hand to hold

so I'll rub away the window frost
in snow like this I could get lost
but I'd tunnel through to get to you
then I'd never say goodbye
oh it keeps on coming down
and I write your name there on the ground
but it disappears in frozen tears
that are falling from the sky

Selfish

I know it's hard for you to show that you love me
I can see when you look at me you want to tell me
you say you don't know how
but you don't have to 'cause I know
you say you don't know how
but you don't have to 'cause I know

when you say you've always been this way, I believe you
you tell me this selfish tendency will never leave you
you say you can't change now
but you don't have to 'cause I know
you say you can't change now
but you don't have to 'cause I know

I don't doubt you know all about how I adore you
and if you can't say I love you, I'll say it for you
you say you don't know why
but you don't have to 'cause I know
you say you don't know why
but you don't have to 'cause I know

All In Good Time

when I was running around trying to get kissed
and throwing myself at anyone who'd have me
you were one half of one thing with one girl
and this seemed to go on somewhat endlessly
but now that's all over for you
I think it's time I had something just like that too
I say my timing's bad, you say it's fine
good things will come dear, all in good time

softly the days slip by without making much sound
I wonder if you have noticed I'm not around
stifling these feelings of wanting to hold you
and thinking of things that I shouldn't have told you
will this true love ever come into being
I'm used to passion not waiting and seeing
I say my timing's bad, you say it's fine
we'll fall in love someday, all in good time

blue christmas tree lights are hanging in place
I am waiting to stun you with all of my charm and grace
planning and scheming on when to steal kisses
and tallying up all my grand hits and misses
taking it slow doesn't sound so much appealing
say it again now this time with more feeling
I say my timing's bad, you say it's fine
I don't belive this should take so much time

I can't wait much longer, short attention span
won't you to sleep over, at least let's hold hands

Half As Much

would you walk across the sea just to come and talk to me
will you think of me today, and do I take your breath away
when I look into the sky I know I'll love you 'till I die
do you ever feel that way, what can I do to make you stay

how much do you love me
is it half as much as I know I love you
how much do you love me
could you tell me 'cause you don't have to love me too
if you don't know like I do then tell me quick
before I make a fool of myself and of you

pocket full of pennies and a paper plate that's full of sand
blow a kiss aimed at your cheek
and dream of you each day this week

how much do you love me
is it half as much as I know I love you
how much do you love me
could you tell me 'cause you don't have to love me too
if you don't know like I do then tell me quick
before I make a fool of myself and you

is this going nowhere
do you laugh when I think that you care
should I believe them when they say you're not there

would you walk across the sea just to come and talk to me
will you think of me today, or do I take your breath away

Sixteen Months

sixteen months just wasn't long enough
to change your mind
but I'm sure you knew that all along
I was much too young
and you were much too far away to think
that I might think about you when you're gone

what did you wear how steep was your climb
what did you have in your pockets at the time
how long did it take how much did you care
what side of the street did they find you waiting there

sixteen months leaves little to remember even though
I have the photographs to prove that you were there
now and then I think about the way you might have been
but other times I'm just so angry I don't care

what did you say and who did you tell
what could I have done
that might have saved you from yourself
how did it feel and what went through your mind
what did they do with all the things you left behind

Count To Ten

let's finally stop this endless chase
take that smile from your face
this isn't funny anymore
I don't know what you're waiting for

so I'll close my eyes and I'll count to ten
and I'll never feel that way again

do a favor to us all
just go away don't write don't call
this couldn't possibly get worse
if you don't leave then I'll go first

always someone to take you in
your weakness proved to be my win
'cause if I'd never known this ache
there might be something left to break
someday

and when I cry it's not so bad
compared to all those fights we had
just don't remind me of that time
when all I wanted was to die

and I'll close my eyes and I'll count to ten
and I'll never feel that way again

Postal Blue

special delivery postage due
you've returned me to sender, haven't you
I know better than to fall for you
but you're so much in your postal blue
if I were smart I'd stay away from you
I can't stand you in your postal blue

I know I never cross your mind
I know I'm not really your kind
misreading signals all the while
reading too much into your smile

special delivery postage due
you've returned me to sender, haven't you

Pedestal

driving the same road not much to see
going toward weather more suited to me
ending this whole thing by waving my hand
I hope that you don't forget what we planned
for years down the road
when we both grow old
but we don't have time for that now

so you stay here and I'll go on
but I'm leaving this pedestal empty to put you upon

dates and persimmons are filling the room
not leaving space for my sorrow and gloom
I'm glad you're not here so don't try to be
I like you just how you are around me
even though I don't have much time
we don't have to finish this now

so you stay here and I'll go on
but I'll think about us playing house everyday
that I'm gone

you say what she said it sounds just as wrong
maybe it's best that I didn't stay long
