My Love is On My Mind

Lots of people want a lot of things
warm bodies and wedding rings
i'd be happy with a rock to stand on
ocean in every direction
no way to ever tell
all the ways we can hurt ourselves
blame it all on someone else
try to help, tell 'em go to hell, well
How'd you ever make it past
the cold heart that i thought i had
history i can barely remember
seems like all i know is together
little kid with a lot to prove
who got sharper as he grew
now all i know is you
now all i know is you
you say "you seem so sad"
i know
i hear it all the time
don't say "what soothes your sigh?"
you know
my love is on my mind
hate to say it but it's getting worse
i'm in love and it really hurts
looking out at the muddy skyline
every heartache feels like the first time
if i'm lucky i will dream
my way to the apartment that i never clean
take a lifetime just to listen
to you humming in your sleep
Wish i could say it like i wanted to
tender words that i wish i knew
turn you back to a lover laughing
you're the best thing that's ever happened
to my silly little life of blue
cripple heart with a lot to do
but now all i know is you
now all i know is you
you say "you seem so sad"
i know
i hear it all the time
don't say "what soothes your sigh?"
you know
my love is on my mind
you say "you seem so sad"
i know
i hear it all the time
don't say "what soothes your sigh?"
you know
my love is on my mind
my love is on my mind
my love is on my mind

My Orbit is a Spiral

Help me out Mr. Sun
Help me out Mr. Sun
cuz i got a love got a love
got a love got a love
and we're just like you and the moon
everything passing too soon
like time moving faster than
my storyline main event
and when she comes around
i'll be way outta town
i see her getting high and man
it gets me so down
i don't know why
i guess we're lights of different kinds
i don't know why
i guess we're lights of different kinds
help me out cloudy sky
help me out cloudy sky
cuz i got a life got a life
got a life got a life
but she's all in the rain and wind
finding a way to creep in
through lines on my windowpane
i wake and she's gone away
and when she comes around
i'll be way outta town
i see her getting high and man
it gets me so down
i don't know why
i guess we're lights of different kinds
i don't know why
i guess we're lights of different kinds
i'm in love it's a lonely spiral
way down to the bottom i will
climb back to the top again
can't do much but i do what i can
i'm in love like a weight on my shoulder
wake up and i'm eight months older
only wish that i understood
can't do much but i did what i could
i'm in love it's a lonely spiral
way down to the bottom i will
climb back to the top again
can't do much but i do what i can
i'm in love like a weight on my shoulder
wake up and i'm eight months older
only wish that i understood
can't do much but i did what i could

All the years of screwing up my heart
and hating those that i had broken
i was only waiting
just to love with you
couldn't stop it if i wanted to
and you were not into me
i am something reckless
envious and lonely
praying just to get this
right before i die
i have miles left to fly
and well honey i've been weighing
less with every evening
pressing you to love me
wishing you could keep me
tethered to the ground
to this lovely life i've found
i'm lucky that you love me
i am something graceless
love is never easy
following our last kiss
i will say goodbye
to the peace of my heart and mind
losing light
staggering home from a bloody fight
i've got my reasons
maybe i can learn in time to grow
maybe i can grow in time to turn
turn around and bathe in the truth when it all comes out
i'll take your sentence
anything your lips pronounce
anything your lips pronounce
all in all we're fools
to some celestial fire
who'd of thought i'd want so badly
not to fly off to my glorious dream
somehow you've become a part of me
and all the years of screwing up my heart
and hating those that i had broken
i was only waiting
just to love with you
couldn't stop it if i wanted to

Without You Here

Baby don't you worry
it's a little better every day
and there isn't any hurry
love like that don't go away
and soon i'll be there with you
the feeling of my skin on yours
i am fairly certain
humans were created for
and the roar of the crowd in the black of the yard
they ask what i see when i look at the stars
calling my name as i get in the car
asking where all of my victories are
i say she must be sleeping
to want so much that you lie awake
to miss your touch every day
to need to love and just fear
you've got my heart
but the city gets cold without you here
swear that i am feeling
every bit as down as you
but i couldn't cut it off
not if i wanted to
for when i am sinking
even at my deepest low
i am miles higher
than i thought i'd ever go
and the roar of the crowd in the black of the yard
they ask what i see when i look at the stars
calling my name as i get in the car
asking where all of my victories are
i say she is far from me
to want so much that you lie awake
to miss your touch every day
to need to love and just fear
you've got my heart
but the city gets cold without you here
to want so much that you lie awake
to miss your touch every day
to need to love and just fear
you've got my heart
but the city gets cold without you here
the city gets cold without you here
the city gets cold without you here

Reason

Don't wanna lay awake at night
and wonder if maybe i'm just being moody
don't wanna let you go and hope
that somehow the world might bring you back to me
don't wanna hear you say it hurts
and sometimes i wish that i never did love you
baby i don't want a lot of things
but that doesn't make them anything less than true
and ever since you showed me how
to climb up on the roof
i've been doing it nightly
who'd have thought that
a place of quiet could ever exist
above a room i live in
the other night i sat in the dark
and cried for the first time since i was thirteen
i know i've been acting different
but i'm gonna miss this shitty apartment
been thinking bout a lot of things
but i haven'y quite yet come to any conclusions
considering every angle
and always ending with one of us losing
i wish i could answer like i knew
when you ask what i think you should do
i know i've been acting different
but i can't believe how much i love you
do you think that this could be
what it feels like to be loving truly
wishing you could see
what every single move you make does to me
if we're being honest i'm a little bit terrified
because i never told you
but my parents also met at my age in college
Don't wanna lay awake at night
and wonder if maybe i'm just being moody
don't wanna letchu go and hope
that somehow the world might bring you back to me
don't wanna hear you say it hurts
and sometimes i wish that i never did love you
baby i don't want a lot of things
but that doesn't make them anything less than true
