Love Lost & Lost In Love

A bird
When it flys
Does it ever get lost
Or does it even care
Perched on my rail
But I'm no bird, I'm a man

Words & thoughts from Love Lost
And from losing at such a cost
Songs of being Lost in Love
Deeply enamored & truly seized by love

A star
As it gleams
Is it ever lost
In it's own bright light
Incandescent glow in my sky
It will fade, above in daylight

Words & thoughts from Love Lost
And from losing at such a cost
Songs of being Lost in Love
Deeply enamored & truly seized by love

A rainfall
It falls slowly
Is it lost in tears
Or so many fears wash away
Precipitation that calm's one's mind
It stops falling, But do I

Words & thoughts from Love Lost
And from losing at such a cost
Songs of being Lost in Love
Deeply enamored & truly seized by love

A girl
Is who I'm
Really talking about, I'm lost
I'm so taken by her eyes
There's no disguise I can wear
To hide, that I am lost

Words & thoughts from Love Lost
And from losing at such a cost
Songs of being Lost in Love
Deeply enamored & truly seized by love

So after
I am only trying to
Find myself again
When I see a bird perched after rainfall
An unseen star is found
In the eyes of a pretty little girl

This is somewhat a stream of conscience song. I am trying in each verse to talk about something that I'm not actually talking about. It's not till the last verse that I actually get to my point and talk about my other tangents. Sometimes as time goes on, I feel kind of like I'm lost as I'm looking for love...

Dreamer

Seeing clearly
Something so foreign to me
Do I really even see who is she
Is she really even the she she seems to be
Or is friend really the she
I could never see
So consumed with me and what me can see


She was always a dreamer
An
d I'm a little crazy

What I would give to only hold her

Just friend seems to be selling out

And selling us short


Cold night

A chill from a cool breeze

Sit a little longer tonight please

Do I imagine what my eye sees

Or do we feel the same breeze

I can't make pleas

So please be straight with me please


She was always a dreamer

And I'm a little crazy

What I would give to only hold her

Just friend seems to be selling out

And selling us short


Fall too fast

Or maybe I think more has been

Sometimes I really ask when

When has then ever been

Really a time I feel I can

Do what I meant

Just living in a dream of something never been


She was always a dreamer

And I'm a little crazy

What I would give to only hold her

Just friend seems to be selling out

And selling us short


But I do feel

I'll never be the

He that she may need

So I'll stay friend

And walk back alone

This is not the first song about my dear friend. I've forced myself to say that I will never be enough for her. I tell myself she will never see me in the light that I see her. I tell myself that she is not for me... yet why does the thought of her plague. It becomes less by the day, but increases when we hang out. Does that mean that the journey to Alaska would be the only way to have true solitude? Do I need to leave this town?

Away From Here

What does it take to be a man?
Do I need a plan,
Or just an even tan?

Lately there's a lot of places
I'd rather be,
But really the only place I wanna go
Is away...
Away from here

When did it happen to everyone?
They go to sleep earlier with the sun
No one's any more fun

Lately there's a lot of places
I'd rather be,
But really the only place I wanna go
Is away...
Away from here

I think what I'm looking for is freedom
Everyone I know I don't need 'em
Solitude, I know I need some

Away, away, away from here

Sometimes I just think I'm lonely
As if life hasn't already shown me
It doesn't fill the empty

Lately there's a lot of places
I'd rather be,
But really the only place I wanna go
Is away...
Away from here

And I'm gone from this landscape
Is this just an escape or
A mistake, for heaven's sake?

Lately there's a lot of places
I'd rather be,
But really the only place I wanna go
Is away...
Away from here

It's gettin' later now &
Running away from home somehow
Doesn't appeal anymore
Cause mother would miss me
And that, I could not take

A little disillusioned by becoming a man and not wanting to be where I am now.
