It's all wrong, It's all right, It's all wrong, It's all--?

there is always so much to say
you can go through all the options in your mind
over and over and over again
so many letters
so many words
so many sentences
which ones will you choose?
you're running around in circles
never satisfied
never the right combination
you've studied it all
memorized the lines
mastered each verse
you've worked hard
very hard

then, you freeze
your mind draws a blank
your knees tremble
hands quiver
try and make a sound
i dare you
come on

silence

you stand shaking in place
facing the one you've worked so hard to face
everything changes
the words you chose don't fit the puzzle
the lyrics no longer rhyme
all you know is how you feel
how do you feel?
it's a feeling and a feeling only
get your dictionary
try the thesaurus
they wont help you
you fight this battle alone
fight better judgment
rationality
logic
moral
for what?
for that feeling
oh, that feeling

what a feeling indeed.

help me out
I'm lost for words
lost forever
lost
lost
lost

so chase away this rain cloud
come dance with me in the sun
just dance
and dance
and dance
footstep after footstep
not one word
just the sound of moving feet
until we stop

silence

i look around
up at the sky
the bright sun
down at the ground
the tall grass
my bare feet
our bare feet
and finally back up at you.

my knees stand still
my hands rest at ease
it's a new feeling, i feel
it's comforting
you're looking back at me
not saying a word
just looking
i open my mouth
take a deep breath
loud and clear
i say it
i say it all
perfectly
you take a step closer
and closer
and closer
you nod your head
up and down
up and down
you place both hands on opposite sides of my head
you lean forward and kiss my forehead
then BOOM
you leave
you walk
and walk
and walk
and what do i do?
i wait
wait for you to turn around
turn around and run back
turn around and give me that comforting look
but you don't
for it's not that simple
it's not that simple at all

i fall to the the grass
i did it
i finally did it
i told you
i told you everything
and as i sit there
pulling at the grass with my fingers
my toes
i wait
and wait
and wait
for it is your turn to study your options
memories your lines
reword your sentences
all to return to the same grassy spot
face me
forget all you've learned
take a deep breath
and tell me
tell me everything

whether you leave me there
whether stay
please
oh please
just dance with me
while the sun shines bright
while the world stands still
memorized by our foot steps
oh what a show we'd put on
until finally, with another BOOM
the curtains close
show's over folks
which way will you go?
i don't know
i don't know
i just don't.

so until then
i dance
dance alone
always alone
dance the feeling away
but it still stays
and stays
and stays
and always stays.

sometimes it takes so much energy, searching, dwelling, all just to say;

I miss you.

Chase away this rain cloud

How come I end up where I started

How come I end up where I went wrong

time fly's
whether you want it to
whether you don't
you can savor a moment
or wish away the nightmare
with ever tick
with ever tock
your time limited
your time is gone
it is out of your control

where does it leave you?
lost
confused
nostalgic
alone
back where you started
far from anywhere you've ever been
you can find old feelings
old thoughts
old fears
old faces
new faces
no faces but your own
you can find all you once had taken from you
you can find nothing
nothing.

then what?
then you wait
and wait
and wait

you had everything you ever wanted
worst part is, you didn't even know it
it was time who showed you
time who stole it from you
but for that you must thank it
thank it very much
for now that you have nothing
nothing at all
you learn to feel
to love
to hate
to live.

don't go searching for what you've lost
you won't find it
it's gone
just like every second
you can't preserve it
the clock won't stop
it just goes tick tock
tick tock
tick tock.

hush now darling
shhhhh
with time
everything will be fine
i promise.

so build me a time machine
make me feel alright
put the wind in my hair
the sun in my eyes
drive me down an empty highway
push my hair out of my face
kiss me once
kiss me twice



sing me a million songs with the blink of an eye
tell me that this is forever
forever
and ever
and ever
tell me that time can't steal this
be everything that i've lost
and everything i have to gain
teach me how to love
to hate
to feel
to live
stop the car
cover my eyes
walk me out
whisper in my ear
everything
anything
gibberish
but whisper
please whisper
i breathe in
then out
i hear no tick
i hear no tock
just the soothing sound of your voice
i am at peace



i open my eyes
you're not there anymore
i turn around
i see no car
there is no sun
there is no breeze
i am shivering
i have no where to go
i call for you
i hear the faint echo of my own voice bounce back at me
my voice and my voice only
i am alone again
still shivering
you were everything i ever wanted
you were more
i decide to sit
sit and wait
wait for a new car to drive by
a new car to pick me up and take me somewhere warm
so i wait
and wait
and wait
once again it is up to time to make this all go away

tick tock
tick tock
tick tock
you're time is up madame
well you know what? i've had enough.

tick
tock

can you stop the clock?
