Cost of Living

I know that it's all the same to you
If I told you what I heard, would that even reach you?
I've seen you become the girl I knew
If just a tad more soft,
Pick up where we left off,
Who cares about the cost today?

You say that I'm more mean, more driven
But that is just the cost of living
Forgetting is different than forgiving
But that's the way it goes when you're sorry, and you're sorry for the

Way that you treated me before
Or was that someone else, before I had met you?
The lines get blurred but the meaning is still the same
In all the parts that count
I hope you feel left out
Just make do without for now

You say that I'm more mean, more driven
But that is just the cost of living
Forgetting is different than forgiving
But that's the way it goes when you're sorry, and you're sorry for the
Way you kept on killing with style
Honey it's sure been a while
Maybe I've just gone senile
But that's the way it goes
When you're sorry, and you're sorry

It's not the most nicest thing to say
But if I must tell the truth, your sister is nicer
You know all things have a price to pay
Nothing ends up free
Not even you and me
What would you like to be today?

You say that I'm more mean, more driven
But that is just the cost of living
Forgetting is different than forgiving
But that's the way it goes when you're sorry, and you're sorry for the
Gas and food and all the money
But that's the stuff that you love now honey
I just think it's kinda funny
That that's the way it goes, when everybody knows
That you're sorry, and you're sorry,
We're both sorry, no more sorry.

Sound Of You

Into all the wild things
A mind could sing to life
Marvels that a child dreams
Imagining in night

Just like mama used to make
I hear with you what pulls and takes me home

You take me home

The sound of you, you, so new, it's just like music to my ears.

Saturday remembering the glimmering in you
Work and play and youthful things like buying rings for you
I'm a kid all over again
Feel the way I did back then
With you
Do you feel it too?

The sound of you, you, renewed, I can taste the warm bright sound of you

I feel a panic that it won't last
So keep it cool
And break the rules
For this to carry on
So I'll hear you
Always new

It's just like memory to relate
Things that time would separate
Like you
And all the love I knew; it's louder

The sound of you, you, I knew the peaceful, rolling, hiding, showing,
Quiet, roaring love the sound of you.

Stargazer

Stargazer
Building legends out of light
Stargazer
As we watch them in the night

Heart racer
I am shaking with the nerves
As I trip and choke and fumble
To find the words

Stargazer
What a sky there to behold
Embracer
As the wind brings out the cold

Heart chaser
Caught me up inside your web
Gentle smile and always
In my head

So pick me up or let me down

Romantic
More than France on New Year’s Eve
Expect it
To sweep us up before we leave

Dean Martin
Sings to only you and me
No one else on this whole planet
That's amore
Can't you see

So pick me up or let me down
Kick me out or bring me round
I don't care let's tell the town
A whole new life for me

Stargazer
Watching constellations form
Eraser
Of the guy I was before

Sweet dreamer
Dreaming future for the past
Like a feeling that you've never felt
Make it last

So pick me up or let me hurl
There's no need to wait my girl
I don't care let's tell the world
A whole new life for us

Stargazer…

I Wish I Was In Love

There's something in her voice that makes me dream
Of whispers of a choice to join her in a winding stream

The feeling of a peace that carries me
To Italy and Greece with her, wherever I may be

But oh she'll go
Before I get to spend some time in presence of her glow

I remember time I spent alone
Thinking up some rhymes and words to write down for my own

Words about someone I just knew of
But like the moon chases the sun around
I wish I was in love

And oh I'll go
As soon as I remember how
That feeling felt ago

And watching someone
Listening road fun
I remember that feeling

Floating clover
Worries over
Lightened shoulders in the sun
But now I've gotta run

I don't know how to say what I'm thinking of
You're not in the way because
I wish I was in love.
