Lyrics

songs from the forthcoming solo record

fitting

you pour in the anger
i'll withdraw the hurt
measure what's left over
to see if it was worth it

to be the one
to heal your wound
to see that you make it through
to hang you off
the edge of me
to see if you and i are...

fitting

i will host your illness
if you in turn are saved
i won't ask for thanking
these moments that you gave me

explain the price
redeem the pain
will make me feel whole again
stir the quiet
lead me on
belong to us and feel so...

fitting

stitch me back together
mend the cracks and cure me
all could be repaired now
with tenderness and mercy

stand me up
tear me down
build a person you care about
we're almost there
so take your time
to find the pieces, make me...

fitting

Unbreakable

we're struggling now to get it all down
to sort it out, the best decision

why do you stay?
why do I make such a difference?
you say, "we're unbreakable."
say, "we're unbreakable"

I'm starting to spin you crazy again
you cling to me like it just don't matter

it's hard to believe
when you tell me my feeling's just a habit
when you tell me, "we're unbreakable."
when you tell me that...

maybe you shouldn't have held me
when I was begging you to go
when all my promises had broke down
and all I left you was the cold
maybe I just wasn't ready,
none of my words would come out right
but I know we're unbreakable...
unbreakable...
tonight

where would you go...
if I wasn't holding you so close?
if we weren't unbreakable?
what if we weren't...

so tired from all our pretending
thinking we could make ourselves so strong
that we could pile away our feelings
into the walls but we were wrong
baby I know that you're hurting
trying to keep your distance from my eyes
don't you know we're unbreakable?
unbreakable...
tonight

The Whispering

I fear the truth, that me and you have finally lost the whispering.
I raise the question of your intention when you raise your voice.

Then suddenly the stillness of your face is changing,
like you realize the monster wasn’t me.
I’m only trying to feel my way around you,
but the lights are out.
I’m lost without the whispering

I get the feeling you’re not revealing everything we need heal.
I can’t imagine the tears and the laughing couldn’t carry you to me.

remember all the times i tried to be your harbor
in the moments when the anchor wouldn’t hold?
I’m only hoping you can feel me sinking,
'cause i’ve fallen deep.
I’m drowned beneath your whispering.

you’re whispering...
you’re whispering...
your whispering could fill our lives with purity.
it wasn’t a lie,
it wasn’t a dream,
you held me safely, you were lying next to me.
in my ear you said you loved me, you were whispering.

If I’m reading you, fragile and blue, you’d still prefer the uncertainty.
So I’ll keep repairing the bridge to the caring till you’re ready to be the one.

You say the dream you had has been repeating...
You know the one, where you’re naked and alone.
My only hope is you can hear me singing,
‘cause it’s all for you.
Are you listening to the whispering?

Come Back Down

Suddenly we’ve come under attack
and you can’t take the distance that you made when you got back
You say your crazy mind is all that you’ve got left
You claim to be an angel but you haven’t made it yet

So won’t you come back down come back down
to the world you’ve been evading
Won’t you come back down again

You deny we’ve tried to make amends
but everything I’ve said just brought you closer to the edge
You get so far removed and then you ask me why
I never tried to reach you and how you ever got that high

So won’t you come back down come back down
to the world you’ve been evading
Won’t you come back down again

Something in my memory keeps you dear
Maybe it’s the hope that one day you’re gonna reappear
It’s just these little things that tell me you’re not there
The way we used to laugh together in the frozen air

So won’t you come back down come back down
to the world you’ve been evading
Won’t you come back down again

so won’t you come back down come back down
Your loving friends are waiting
for you to come back down again

The One That I Want

Your hands are cold your eyes are tired
Come and stay with me tonight
where I can put you back together

When you’re feeling out of sorts
when your spirit or back is sore
when your heartstrings have been severed

You’re the one that I want
the one I need
the one I want…

The one that I want the one that I need
when all my everything is breaking
The one that I feel the one who is real
when all the little things have frightened me
You’re the one that I want
You’re the one I need

I can see in your eyes that you’re not trusting me
You’re still thinking of that fight from last week
You know it doesn’t mean I’m leaving

So won’t just just reach out your hand
cause i’m under your command
The insecurity is leaving

You’re the one that I want
the one I need
the one I want…

You’re the one for me when world’s got a broken ceiling
and it’s crumbling down and underneath
You’re the only thing i’m needing

The one that I want the one that I need
when all my everything is breaking
The one that I feel the one who is real
when all the little things have frightened me
You’re the one I want…
You’re the one I want…
You’re the one I want…
You’re the one I want…
