PEOPLE ARE JUST PEOPLE
THEY SHOULDN’T MAKE YOU NERVOUS

I had a way then
Losing it all on my own
I had a heart then
But the queen has been overthrown
And I’m not sleeping now
The dark is too hard to beat
And I’m not keeping up
The strength I need to push me
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine them when I’m alone
And so I tell myself that I’ll be strong
And dreaming when they’re gone
‘Cause they’re calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine them when I’m alone
Noises, I play within my head
Touch my own skin
And hope they’ll still be there
And I think back to when
My brother and my sister slept
In unknown place
The only time I feel safe
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine them when I’m alone
And so I tell myself that I’ll be strong
And dreaming when they’re gone
‘Cause they’re calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine them when I’m alone -
Now I’m dreaming, will I ever find you now?
I walk in circles but I’ll never figure out
What I mean to you, do I belong
I try to fight this but I know I’m not that strong
And I feel so helpless here
Watch my eyes are filled with fear
Tell me do you feel the same
Hold me in your arms againI need your love
I need your time
When everything’s wrong
You make it right
I feel so high
I come alive
I need to be free with you tonight
I need your love -
You can’t capture this with camera clips
No, it don’t exist
Just light on negatives
Another candle on a birthday cake
And a wish you make. -
Sometimes it seems that i don’t have the skills to recollect
The twists and turns of plots that turned us from lovers to friends
I’m thinking i should take that volume back up off the shelf
And crack it’s weary spine and read to help remind myselfBut if i move my place in line i’ll lose.
And I have waited, the anticipation’s got me glued.I am waiting for something to go wrong
I am waiting for familiar resolve
I am waiting for another repeat
Another diet fed by crippling defeat
And i am waiting for that sense of relief
I am waiting for you to flee the scene
As if you held in your hand the smoking gun
And on the floor lay the one you said you loved.And it’s strange
They are basically the same
So i don’t ask names anymore.Sometimes i think this cycle never ends
We slide from top to bottom and we turn and climb again
And it seems by the time that i have figured what it’s worth
The squeaking of our skin against the steel has gotten worse. -
We started off across a room
locking eyes and subtle clues
Connection then devotion grew
closer than our mothers knew.It’s hard to fill the middle in
What triggered Cause to the Effect
Suddenly you exitedWith a subtle look we would communicate
Now all the words we saved return to curse your name
With a subtle lookI’m jumping off this moving ground
needing just to levitate
I’m landing now, forgetting how
Your gravity ruins everythingYou fill my head and weigh it down
My clouded heavy vision sees
your arms, once mine, now wrapped around
a different boy who looks like meWith a subtle look we would communicate.
Now all the words we saved return to curse your name
