counting steps

catching my breath
falling from grace
it's gonna take
the time that it takes
we, neither one, lied
how could we have known
that we both can't play victim
with heart made of gold?
counting my steps
so I can retrace
my way back to the part of
me that's not safe
I fell from the sky
I don't wanna jump again
Eating my words
as I'm pleading my case
forget what I know
about good bad love and hate
I'm all out of faith
just let me recuperate
(Flute solo, lol)
Love of my life
plague of my days
I said I loved you but
let me rephrase;
you're milking me dry
it's not a good taste in my mouth
I'm gonna cry
it seems I've been wasting my time
I don't know where to go
but, oh,
I can't stay in this place
oh, no no no no
I am defiled
you put me to shame
catching my breath
falling from grace
it's gonna take
the time that it takes

feel me
trust it
breathe deep
come in
I'm ready for ya
finally ready for ya
I know
you're scared
the past hangs over us like a
corps in the air
but make believe
that everything
is comin' up roses
make your love
seem evergreen
just like it's supposed tuh
take my hand and
everything everything everything everything
is just fine
so swell
I'm your guiding light '
and you are my victory bell
just close
your eyes
don't act
so surprised
just make believe
that everything
is comin' up roses
make your love seem evergreen
just like its supposed tuh
let me see eternity
when I look in your eyes
tell me I'm your everything
your land and your sea and your skies
I am not your enemy
but also I'm not your wife
hold me close
don't let me go
this feeling so fleeting
make believe
our love is like
a room with no ceilings
filter out
bad energies
burn some sage and we'll move along with
our belief
that everything everything everything
I AM NOT THE SAINT I THOUGHT I WAS
YOU ARE NOT MY SOLID GROUND
I'LL KEEP PANTING 'TILL THE AFTERLIFE
TRY'NA KEEP YOU AROUND

wandering
through a mall
to a shoe store
I know
that you like
now I'm hiking
on a path
lined with grass
now a cliff
edge along
and don't watch
that stone fall
you won't fall
just have faith
take a breath
and retrace
everything
every scene we ever played
stuck on replay in my mind's eye
everything
everything I ever knew or
thought I knew comes back to you idk why
follow you
through a park
by a lake '
in the dark
touch me there
pull me close
in a basement
we are ghosts
a twin bed
or no bed
or my bed
or your bed
as I breathe
in your air
I can feel
I can taste
everything
oh, all the words I wish I would have
said to you stuck on my tongue for all my life
everything
every time I wish I had not walked away
stuck on replay until I die
(instrumental, well sort of)
out of sight
on my mind
no more hope
can't rewind
can't erase
when I conjure
up your face
I am lost in
reveries
give me peace
give me pain
then repeat
reveries
give me peace
give me pain
then repeat X4?
reveries

hell/heaven

you set your sights on something else
far away
in the distance
by your side yet
by myself
biding time
is it heaven or is it hell
mmh, and it's no wonder I lost balance
I was looking up at you
I was avoiding all my talents
ooh ooh and you never lost your footing
I was a faulty step to skip
it's no wonder you'd desert me baby
when time and purpose broke the spell
you crawled away and fixed yourself
but don't you say it's just as well
you're on your way
I'm stranded here
please don't try to be my friend
if I can't speak
it's all pretend
by your side yet by myself
biding time
is it heaven or is it
ooh and it's no wonder I lost balance
I was looking up at you
I was avoiding all my talents
ooh ooh and i never lost my footing
you were a faulty step to skip
it's no wonder I'd desert you baby
so I'll set my sights on something else
far away
in the distance
by your side yet by myself
biding time
is it heaven or is it
