High and Low

I'm going to see some friends from out of state
The very trip that you were supposed to take a while
ago
But it fell through
Like all of you
Like all of you

Thought i'd make the drive but a free plane ride is in
the air
And just like that my fear of it disappeared
Like all of you
Like all of you

And i look high and low for yesterday
High and low for you and i
High and low

Once i can see straight i might move somewhere cold
Seattle or the bay area; to see your ghost
What's left of you
What's left of you

And i look high and low for yesterday
High and low for you and i
High and low

Found a letter from a man i might have met, addressed
to you
And i'll steal the words he ended with: 
I miss you
And i do
Miss you
And i do

High and low for yesterday
High and low for you and i
High and low

Broken

You don't die of a broken heart, you only wish you did.
~Marilyn Peterson~ 

Love

You know it's love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you're not part of their happiness.
~Julia Roberts~ 

Meet Me By The Water

Would you meet me by the water, baby
We'll have a really good time
Would you  meet me by the water, baby
'Cause I can't get you off of my mind

I've been thinking everyday about you
Don't fit anywhere into my life, but that's okay
'Cause I think I might be right for you
And because of that, I'm not scared at all
And everyone says I'm crazy
And everyone says I'm a fool
Would you meet me by the water tonight
'Cause I'm ready to break all the rules

Please don't leave me standing
With my heart in my hand
I can't last here
I'm breaking down,
And no one understands why I got here
But I knew from the very first moment
That I met you
You'd be the one

Would you meet me by the water tonight
Would you please fall asleep
Holding my hand
'Cause I've got everything in store for you, baby
If you'll be my man.

missing you

Within you I lose myself...
Without you I find myself
Wanting to be lost again.

reflections from yesterday

Wait For You Here

We never thought that we'd find ourselves here
Wondering what happens next
You said some things and then I said things back
I wonder what we'll say next

I won't blame you if you can't find your way
I will wait for you here
If you don't get here till the end of the day
Still I'll wait for you here

Now it's Sunday and I've lost sight of you
I'm wondering where you are
Are you hurting? Are you crying for me?
Have you wandered off too far?

I won't blame you if you can't find your way
I will wait for you here
If you don't get here till the end of the day
Still I'll wait for you here.

my heart bleeds

In case you failed to notice, in case you failed to see, this is my heart, bleeding before you, this is me down on my knees. ~Jewel~ 

whispers from the past

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

~Judy Garland~ 

Ocean

My eyes are an ocean in which my dreams are reflected.

Horizon

The last time I laid my eyes upon you
You were blowing kisses
I was waiting in the car
Something had died yet
Everything around kept turning
Don’t even know where you are
Somewhere along the line we lost the horizon
I’ve been looking around, up and down
Nowhere there
Someday I hope to find the horizon
I’ve been all around the world and nothing is clear

The last time I held you, it was head to heart
the curtain was drawing
I left you sleeping so sound
If I had known forever
after we would stay apart
I would have whispered
all the things I can’t tell you now
Somewhere along the line we lost the horizon
I’ve been looking ‘round, up and down
Nowhere there, nowhere there
Someday I hope I can find the horizon
I’ve been all around the world
I don’t believe in you
Like I so wanted to
I hope you’re asking the heavens above
To forgive all the damage you’ve done
And if I didn’t teach you anything at all
I hope that you learned how to love
But I doubt if I ever talk to you , I’ don’t know

Somewhere along the line we lost the horizon,
I’ve been looking ‘round, up and down
Nowhere there, nowhere there
Someday I hope we can find the horizon
I’ve been all around the world
Nothing is clear, no, no, no!
nothing is clear to me now at all
Nothing is clear, oh nothing is clear,
nothing is clear to me now at all
Nothing is clear, nothing is clear,
nothing is clear to me, nothing is clear,
nothing is clear, nothing is clear.
