Today I am
A small blue thing
Like a marble
Or an eye
With my knees against my mouth
I am perfectly round
I am watching you
I am cold against your skin
You are perfectly reflected
I am lost inside your pocket
I am lost against
Your fingers
I am falling down the stairs
I am skipping on the sidewalk
I am thrown against the sky
I am raining down in pieces
I am scattering like light
Scattering like light
Scattering like light
Today I am
A small blue thing
Made of china
Made of glass
I am cool and smooth and curious
I never blink
I am turning in your hand
Turning in your hand
Small blue thing

does it really have to be so hard
I'm light as a feather you're stiff as a board
is there any way that I can be
to get you to really to look at me
look at me
look at me
is the weight gonna shift today
you're burning out and I'm fading away
are you really gonna let me go
you could put up a fight you know
once upon a time you got lost inside my eyes
once upon a time you got lost inside my eyes
I'm just your alibi but I'd rather be your partner in crime
but you are not home tonight
and I'm doing just what I do
I'll open my heart wide enough to break into
once upon a time you got lost inside my eyes
once upon a time you got lost inside my eyes
I'm just your alibi but I'd rather be your partner in crime

In the blue
Of this life
Where it ends
In the night
When you couldn't see
You would come for me
Wonder eyes
Motion high
And we don't dare
Slip on by
Make us suffer
Like no other
There's nothing like lapis lazuli
Let it go back to me
Like no other
You can't be replaced

Put me in the shower, pull me out of bed.
Am I only dreaming, or did I wake up dead?
Throw me in the garbage, shackled up in chains.
But I still got my boots on
So I can walk away.
A heartbeat says you haven't died.
You gotta try to stay alive.
Leave me to the vultures.
Throw me to the wolves.
I'll live on tomorrow
And purity of soul.
Dump me in the ocean,
Tied to a piano.
But you forgot to rip my heart out
Before you let me go.
A heartbeat says you haven't died.
You gotta try to stay alive.
Lock me in the basement,
Without anything to eat.
You can hurt my body,
But you can't hurt me.

Calling out, calling out
Haven't you wondered
Why I'm always alone
When you're in my dreams
Calling out, calling out
Haven't you wondered
Why you're finding it hard
Just looking at me
I want you
But I want you to understand
I leave you
I love you
Didn't want to leave you
With the wrong impression
Didn't want to leave you
With my last confession
Of love
Wasn't trying to pull you
In the wrong direction
All I wanna do is try and
Make a connection
Of love
Falling out, falling out
Haven't you wondered
If this was ever more
Than a crazy idea
Falling out, falling out
Haven't you wondered
What we could've been
If you'd only let me in
I want you
But I want you to understand
I miss you
Didn't want to leave you
With the wrong impression
Didn't want to leave you
With my last confession
Of love
Wasn't trying to pull you
In the wrong direction
All I wanna do is try and
Make a connection
Of love

When you stay up
And you lose your mind with me
In the morning
How can you refuse to speak
Day in, day out
Why
Day in, day out
You never even ask me how I feel
I've forgotten
How it feels to get that relief
And I've gotten
Everything but what I need
Day in, day out
Why
Day in, day out
You ask me everything except how I feel
Day in, day out
Why
Day in, day out
You ask me everything except how I feel

It seems things are indicative to,
A distinct desire to
Observe such,
Heal such
Behave such that makes this hard for me
I'm not real and I deny,
I won't heal unless I cry
I can't grieve, so I won't grow,
I won't heal 'til I let it go
I'm not real and I deny,
I won't heal unless I cry
It seems things are indicative to,
A distinct desire to
Observe such,

Behave such that makes this hard for me
I'm not real and I deny,
I won't heal unless I cry
I can't grieve, so I won't grow,
I won't heal 'til I let it go
I'm not real and I deny, I won't heal unless I cry
I can't grieve, so I won't grow,
I won't heal 'til I let it go
Cry, cry, cry 'til you know why, I lost myself, identify
Cry, cry, cry 'til you know why, I lost myself, identify

This is the last day of our acquaintance
I will meet you later in somebody's office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know what your answer will be
I know you don't love me anymore
You used to hold my hand when the plane took off
Two years ago there just seemed so much more
And I don't know what happened to our love
Today's the day
Our friendship has been stale
And we will meet later to finalize the details
Two years ago the seed was planted
And since then you have taken me for granted
But this is the last day of our acquaintance
I will meet you later in somebody's office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know your answer already
But this is the last day of our acquaintance
I will meet you later in somebody's office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know your answer already

What a surprise wearing your disguise on the telephone line
I know it pleased you to know I needed you and your time
You play the game not saying either way but you know
Please make it real quick save me the guilt trip and just say no
Are you writing this all down?
This conversation the alienation in your tone
I've got no fucking clue from your point of view and your time zone
I wouldn't have asked saved you the task if it weren't for real
Trading a daughter and two thousand dollars
For a national steel
Are you writing this all down?

Oh, talk to me, can't you see
I'll help you work things out.
Oh, don't wanna be your enemy
And I don't want to scream and shout.
'Cos, baby, I believe in honesty
A man who's strong and true.
I shouldn't have to say now, baby,
That I believe in you.
What took you so long?
What took you all night?
What took you forever to see I'm right?
You know, I treat you so good;
I make you feel fine.
You know, I'll never give it up this time.
Oh, you touched my heart right from the start,
You didn't know what to say.
But, honey, I understand
When you take my hand everything's OK.
'Cos, baby, I believe reality,
It's never far away.
I've had enough, so listen, baby,
I've got something to say.
What took you so long?
What took you all night?
What took you forever to see I'm right?
You know, I treat you so good;
I make you feel fine.
You know, I'll never give it up this time.

Varnished weeds in window jars
Tarnished beads on tapestries
Kept in satin boxes are
Reflections of love's memories
Letters from across the seas
Roses dipped in sealing wax
Valentines and maple leaves
Tucked into a paperback
Guess I'll throw them all away
I found someone to love today
Dark with darker moods is he
Not a golden Prince who's come
Through columbines and wizardry
To talk of castles in the sun
Still I'll take a chance and see
I found someone to love today
There's a sorrow in his eyes
Like the angel made of tin
What will happen if I try
To place another heart in him
In a Bleeker Street cafe
I found someone to love today
