Nose in a book Teach you to look at the world out your window. Stock market Crash, Cultural clash all the ways you can't affect them. Blue eyes, seeking advice Oh My, you're much to pretty to cry about the state of things I heard somewhere that the world was ending, turn on the news, it seems they're right. I heard somewhere that this just the end of another civilisational cycle. What ever helps you sleep at night Blue eyes, seeking advice oh my, you're much to pretty to cry about the state of things.

22 Hard to imagine what you'll go through. But i'd love if you'd let me come too. My love dear bean, all the joy you bring you're so heavenly Look what you do to me. Make it so easy, to love long for your touch can't get enough All i want to do Is be close to you. Oh boy, oh damn I love You man. I know its you I know its true I love you I love you I'll say it over again, To me you're perfect I cant wait to see you smile So much to cherish To me you're perfect I cant wait to see you smile Oh boy oh damn I love you man ( oh you're so beautiful all i want to do is be close to you make it so easy to love)

There's a Stranger in my room, He talks alot like you Shell shocked staring at the phone why cant i just leave it alone I waste my time grey days fly by i feel it - Its always the same I dont know why - Just let it go Why do i always end up feeling this way From moment to moment I feel you crawling round my head all day I open, you close it Im sick of feeling like a stranger in my own Skin. Where do I find, my peace of mind Im so sick of feeling life is always wanting help Open my eyes - lord knows i've tried Im so sick of feeling like somebody else You know its fine - It just takes time. From moment to moment I feel you crawling round my head all day I open - you close it Im sick of feeling like a stranger in my own skin From moment to moment I feel you crawling round my head all day I open - you clse it Im so sick of feeling like somebody else So patient - i hate it how long can i take it Look how far you managed to drag yourself all of the hate that you make for your self the night shift, my world slips so scared and dissmissive look how far you managed to drag this out all of the ways that you ran from yourself. From moment to moment I feel you crawling round my head all day Feel you crawling round my head all day.

Life isnt hopeless Thats you leading with fear as you do Doubt is the weapon you use. life ever changing thats true the pain and the horror you view attached at the wrist to be carried Evermore. Leave it behind its old news something to grow from and bloom not something to run from only if you knew You're not alone silly fool look at the love in the room Find in yourself all the strength to carry on. Yes the day's a little bit darker, and the nights a little more cold feel youself slip a little bit deeper lose a little more control I know you feel it too. Meet your eyes in the mirror not the one you'd like to be tell yourself that its all over tell yourself its only a dream you'd give up so easily so easily Life isnt hopeless Thats you leading with fear as you do Doubt is the weapon you use. life ever changing thats true the pain and the horror you view attached at the wrist to be carried Evermore. Leave it behind its old news something to grow from and bloom not something to run from only if you knew You're not alone silly fool look at the love in the room Find in yourself all the strength to carry on. Life isnt Hopeless thats you.

you ask me from the Train who i thought i'd marry I said you always you I ask you the same question you make the face that you make whenever I amuse you and say I'd choose you too I know theres a part of me that cant stop loving you I know its naive of me, couldnt stop if I wanted to.
