Hopelessly Waiting

Hopelessly waiting and watching your every move
What would it be like to have
all the eyes on you
Tell me I'm beautiful why do I care if you say
You'rebeautiful, so beautiful
If you look deeper you might find there's somethingthat shines
I just want someone to read between the lines
They're all watching somebody else
won't you look at me
I'm not so bad, I'm not that bad
Once in a while I see through your eyes
And its not your style to leave me
Shamelessly hoping to be more than a girl in the crowd
Someone to notice me twice when they looked around
It seems everywhere that I look all the eyes turn away
Do you see me, can you see me
Once in a while I see through your eyes
And its not your style to leave me
Once in a while you're more than
you're seeming to be
But I go on living and waiting and dreaming that...
It would be great to know somebody cared about me
Thought I was more than justsomeone you pass on the street
Am I just nothing that you find remotely profound
What's wrong with me, what's wrong with you
What's wrong with me,what's wrong with you...
Hopelessly waiting and watching your everymove...
Why can't I see what is wrong
You must hate me that's too bad

Midnight

Between the lines I get it,
i read it when you spoke to me last night,
Don't think I don't know what's goin on here,
be sure I didn't come to steal your life.
You leave before midnight,
you're standing in the bright lights,
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid to come back to me.
You leave before midnight,
you're standing in the back lights,
Don't be afraid, hey, don't be afraid to come back to me, yeah.
And in disguise
I'll come to you,
darling tonight,
you will walk outside your soul,
Don't be surprised if I told you,
You're not as strong as you were told.
You leave before midnight,
you're standing in the bright lights,
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid to come back to me.
You leave before midnight,
you're standing in the bright lights,
Don't be afraid, hey, don't be afraid to come back to me.
Coz no-one's gonna know
if you stay or if you go,
If you do or if you don't,
at least you won't be alone,
it won't be alone
no-one's gonna know
if you stay or if you go,
If you do or if you don't,
at least you won't be alone,
it won't be alone
You leave before midnight,
you're standing in the bright lights,
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid to come back to me.
You leave before midnight,
you're standing in the bright lights,
Don't be afraid, hey, don't be afraid to come back to me.

Listen

i no longer plead with heaven
or go rummaging in books for answers
to the questions life contains
no i listen listen
listen to this universe resounding
in the pulsing and the pounding
of my infant ancient veins
i no longer seek instruction from my father and my mother
i have mastered all their pleasures and their pain
no i listen listen
listen to the universe resounding
in the pulsing and the pounding
of my infant ancient veins
the feeling in my bloodflow is a simple thing y'see
everything and nothing in the parody is me
i'm the hero
i'm the villain
the beginning
and the end
i'm creator
i'm destroyer
i'm the enemy
the friend
i'm an animal
a spirit flying high and falling down
i am special
i'm important
i am sacred
i'm a clown
so i stumble through the chaos
dragging clumsily behind me
all the eggshells
and the fish scales
and the fur pelts of my past
while this thing goes on inside me
at one with all the vastness
the fantasies and fictions
and when all the contradictions come together come
they will fit
they will fit
the feeling in my bloodflow is a simple thing y'see
i am it
i am it
we are everything and nothing
but that's how to play the game
in these weather beaten bodies
with these god forsaken brains
we can listen listen
listen to the universe resounding
in the pulsing and the pounding
of our infant ancient veins
listen listen
listen and it all begins to fit
you are it, your are it.
