I can't let go of your hand,
I can't let go of your eyes.
I know you understand,
it isn't a suprise...
I'm not afraid I don't know what I want.
I'm just afraid that I want
to love you.
For you to love me too.
What are we...
What are we gonna do?
I want to love you.
And you to love me too.
What am I
What am I gonna do?
I'm not afraid I don't know what I want,
I'm afraid that I know exactly what I want.
Cause I wanna love you.
For you to love me too.
What are we...
What are we gonna do?
I want to love you.
And you to love me too.
What am I
What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
What's left?
What's left for me to do?

I can give you hours,
but I cannot give you my mind.
I am free with time
but there's so little here that's mine.
I can be generous with daylight,
but I cannot let you in.
I have been empty boxes and tins,
I have been fingernails on skin.
And it begins....
Will it begin again?
You turn to sinking glaciers
made of wine dark sea and mud.
I just wanna know
where this comes from.
Closing eyelids,
all painted in red...
I will be following this thread
til it's put to bed.
(I have been empty boxes and tins,

Will it begin?
And it begins again) x2
Will it begin?
And it begins again

Screened

We both want to die
the way things with wings want to fly.
We both close our eyes,
against all the bright lights.
I will embarrass you,
like you will embarrass me
But if you say it's alright,
I will sing you awake every night.
If you say it's alright,
I will sing you awake every night.
We both cast our eyes
beyond the trees, making new identities and harmonies, melodies.
Are you feelin free?
Unlike me.
Are you feelin' screened?
Just like me.
Well if you say it's alright,
we can swap and exchange til you're feelin right.
If you say it's alright,
we can swap and exchange til you're feelin right.
If you say it's alright,
I will sing you awake every night.
(If you say it's alright,
I will sing you awake every night.) x1000000

It's a little bit less
than the little bit more
I was hoping I could share with you.
Things never go diagonally,
they fall just like the
rest of them do.
But let me show you,
I still hold you dear.
Oh we've got a lot of past,
let's let the bad things fall
past us.
Down beneath your floor
I'm sitting above,
I'm thinking of.
I hope you're doing fine,
you deserve to shine.
You deserve the best of things-
you'll get 'em soon.
I'm hoping
for you.

Constellations

Every day I find myself
in a brand new constellation.
Every day I find myself
in a different situation.
I'm happy to know that
even if I slow down
I won't stop at once.
I'm glad to say that
every passing day
I'm reborn with more defiance.
'Cause even years past going
I've a body you've never met.
Seven years from leaving
I've a heart that never let you in.
Seconds after going
I've a mind you never knew.
I'm a thousand people now
and not one cares about you.
Please don't mistake this
for being angry or upset.
Don't even take it as
questioning why we ever met.
It's just an affirmation
I like to repeat in my head:
because the past's the past,
and I am far from dead.
Cause seven years past going
I'd have a body I'd never meet.
Seven years from going
I'd have a heart to find different beats.
Seconds after leaving
I'd have a mind I'd never know.
I'm a thousand people
and I want to watch them go.
I'm a thousand people now
and not one cares about any of you.
I'm a thousand people
and I want to watch them do what people do.
'Cause the past is past,
and I am far from dead. x2
