Tonight You Belong To Me

I know you belong to somebody new
but tonight you belong to me
Although we're apart
you're a part of my heart
and tonight you belong to me
Way down by the stream
how sweet it will seem
once more just to dream in
the moonlight
My honey I know
with the dawn
that you will be gone
but tonight you belong to me
just a little ol' me

Inconvenient

I'm in love, how inconvenient
I had my guard up so I couldn't feel it
But you found your way in
when I least expected it
and you say you love me
and I can tell you mean it
how inconvenient
I was so good at distractions
at keeping my mind on shallow interactions
but you showed me talk was cheap
and led me into the deep
like I'd never seen it
and now I believe it
how inconvenient
I had my plans, so much to accomplish
but holding your hand was never on the list
now it's at the top
Love is a fire that lights up the night sky
it'll guide you home when you're lost and alone
on the longest drives
it'll sing to you when you're sleeping
it's that secret you can't keep in
and though you can't see it
it's all that you need but
it's not convenient

Forever Alone

I wish I had answers to your questions
but you should know that I have questions of my own
like “could you not?” and “do you mind?”
cuz all your words do is remind me
that I’m forever alone
I understand you’re just trying to be helpful
when you say "it’ll happen someday"
but see that’s one thing you can’t guarantee
cuz not everything in life is “meant to be”
So I’ll stay "forever alone"
You act like it’s not for a lack of trying
that I’ve been shooting too high or out of my league
and just because they’re selling something I ain’t buying
doesn’t mean I don’t want the same things
So I’ll answer all your cliches
with some cliches of my own
to make you think I’m not "forever alone"
*whistle solo*
I try my best not to let it under my skin
but my patience sometimes wears thin
If I get invited just one more time
to a wedding where the bride is 25
I swear to god…
I’m not trying to say that I’m better than them
Cuz I’m not everyone’s cup of tea
And it’s not that I don’t think it can’t happen
it’s the fear that the things I want, don’t want me
So I’m sorry I can’t make you feel better
but the truth is: I don’t have to
So maybe one day if the person’s right
they’ll make me feel it was worth the fight
to be "forever alone"
of being "forever alone"

Catch Me Up To Speed
04:05

What if you could say anything at all?
I swear I'd just stay here so I could give you all
the time in the world, all the time in the world
You got lost somewhere
somewhere in between
what you thought they wanted
and what you really need
And your story's untold
when they placed you on hold
So take all the time you need
all the time you need
to catch me up to speed
When it gets too loud
and you can't turn it down, the voices in your mind
they say that no one cares
and you always overshare
but darlin, it's a lie
cuz I don't mind
So go on
tell me everything
cuz everything else can wait

Every Little Piece
03:31
|

|
You've got every little piece of me
scattered all throughout our history
and put together carefully
so I'm what you wanna see
I've got only what is left of you
after all the shit I put you thru
we come together just to come unglued
it's what we always do
and so I've been mistaken before
our past gives and takes as it wants to, love
and we might be thru with it now
but it ain't thru with us
So what happens in the aftermath?
In the bed we made with the questions we asked
and the road is paved with the answers we gave
the ones we can't take back
I see colors when I look at you
the lies are white
but the truth is black and blue
do we walk it off to heal this bruise
or break it off in two?
We don't have to fight
for this to not be right
and so I've been mistaken before
our past gives and takes as it wants to, love
and we might be thru with it now
but it ain't thru with us

He saw her walk into the party
and in that moment he was changed
the girl in the dress with no one to impress
was forever burned into his brain
two years later they were married
in back yard of his parents’ house
she looked him in the eyes
and said I’m on your side
and he lost any trace of doubt
When you love with your whole heart
you give them the knife that can gut you apart
and instead pray they'll take it
and carve out a place you feel safe in
so you must ask yourself this
if love is worth the risk
She put the flowers on the nightstand
next to the cards and the balloons
the nurse makes the rounds
as she straightens his gown
they both know it will be soon
you see 40 years they’d been together
She never let herself plan for this
she’d made up her mind
they’d have so much more time
but time is indifferent
Cuz when you say that you love someone
you’re saying you’ll sit by their side
at the movies or at sunset
or when they take their last breath
so you must ask yourself this
if love is worth the risk
love is more than bending a knee with a ring
It’s made up of all the moments you don't see
it’s threading a needle and weaving the string
slowly over time
It’s the slow dance in the kitchen at night
when the kids are in bed
and the dishes are drying
it's eyes that know you
and skin that collides
as your stories intertwine
love is flying in the face of
the sweet devastation
and though it will end
you'd do it again
so let me tell you this
love is worth the risk
