It Should Be Me

I feel so lost without the rhythm of your heart beat for mine to follow,

My heart is silenced; my chest, my mind, my body,my soul is hollow.

I don't think you understand how vital it is that you're next to me,

Without you here, I am not living only simply existing--I forget who I am supposed to be.

Oh, how jealous I am tonight of the blankets that cover your body and the pillow that gets to cradle your head,

For it should be me, my dear, surrounding you with my love and sharing your bed.

Play On

A voice from the past that won't stop haunting me, A tinge in my heart that won't stop taunting me.

It's an infinity circle, there's never an end, Just when it's about to break, you fly in and stop the bend.

Your hellos are so sweet, and your goodbyes are so bitter.

But you stay stuck on me like last-night's glitter.

You never come off, no matter how hard I try to wash you away.

You're like listening to The White Album, I can't do anything but let the record play.

You're my ghost, my ghost for tonight.

You're here for now, but you'll soon disappear come day light.

Love me and leave me,

Want me but don't need me.

It's love, it's hate.

It's catastrophically fate.

If a wish were really a wish, I'd wish you away.

If you weren't so damn good, I wouldn't keep letting this record play.

A hunger that comes from deep within the core of me, A faith so strong, not even God could shake me.

You're at the center in all that I am, all that I've become.

You've captured my soul, when I don't feel you all I feel is numb.

Your love is so sweet but your hate is so bitter.

No matter how hard I try to wash you away, you stay stuck on me like last-night's glitter.

If I could, I would rinse you all away.

If you weren't so god damn good, I'd push stop--but instead I let this record play.

So baby play on, play on.

I am at your will, faithfully your pawn.

Play on.

Play on.

I'll love you with every ounce within me tonight, I'll save my tears for the morning--when my eyes meet day light.

Before I know it, you'll be gone.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps, play on.

Oh play on.

Come Find Me

It's four am and I'm thriving on the only fumes I have left to get me through,

And with any luck these fumes will spark and ignite me so I can be burning up next to you.

I hold conversations with myself that keep me up at night,

But I've learned to listen to the messages in those voices instead of putting up a fight.

It's just one of those silly things I do,

To help ease the pain of missing you.

Open your eyes, open your heart.

Don't let this all fall apart.

Can you feel my heart aching,

Please see me.

Please see me.

My soul screams,

Please hear me.

Please hear me.

From within I cry out for you to,

Come find me.

Come find me.

If you see me,

If you hear me,

Please, come find me.

Words don't come easy when it comes to you,

But when you held me I felt brand new.

The world just stopped, there was no time,

No reason, no rhyme.

But all we had is just that one night,

I said "hush now darlin' just let these fumes ignite."

Because before we knew it I was missing your eyes,

And it was a slow and painful death before sunrise.

Why can't you hear me calling?

Why can't you see me falling?

Where is your heart?

Why are you letting this all fall apart?

Can you feel my heart aching,

Please see me.

Please see me.

My soul screams,

Please hear me.

Please hear me.

From within I cry out for you to,

Come find me.

Come find me.

If you see me,

If you hear me,

Please, come find me.

Come find me.
