I was driving down some dark road
Route 66?
Who gives a shit
But the air was full of smells
The dew of grass
The iron of earth
The chalk of rocks
And the only thing crossing my mind was you...
And it started to rain
Little white streaks
In the lights of my hood
The air danced with energy
The waltz of raindrops
The jive of lightning
The swing of the winds
And the only thought dancing across my mind was you...
And a folk singer started crooning on my radio
Some song of times
Changing
And the air was full of noises, yeah
The jingle of guitars
The violin of crickets
The whisper of reeds
And the only thought screaming in my head
Was the thought of you....

Somebody loved me once
Some way, some how
But honey the well's gone dry
So lay me down in that river that sings
Wash things away I'd never say again
To anyone who ever loved me
So lay me down
Lay me down in that river that sings.....

Break my hands so they may have
Some excuse to be completely useless
Wish I could be
The lies that I believe as plainly as truth
As plainly as truth...
So split my world in two
So that I may see clearly
Which half is truth
And I twist my tongue so that it may utter
No gullible word...
Wish that I could be the all knowing
That you pretend to be
So split me in two
So that I may choose clearly
To not be naive
To not be naive....

My head's an ocean
Of constant indecision
"I've decided what to do with my life...just for today"
24 hour life change
365 new lives proposed to
365 paths kissed
None my rode less traveled
And it all comes crashing on a Wednesday
My heart's an empty vessel
Of constant palpitation
"I've decided to stop loving...just for today"
23 hour heart change
365 new loves proposed to
365 hearts gone to waste
None my heart stopping moment
And it all comes crashing on a Sunday

Some night I dream about the holes you left behind
But the square don't fit this peg anymore
What's a girl to do?
And I'm alone again
But at least I'm not with you
And I'm alone again
But at least I don't love you...
And some nights I miss the sense of purpose
That you didnt leave behind
The one I thought that I had found
Where's my love to go?
And I'm alone again
But at least I don't feel low
And I'm alone again
But at least I don't feel low....at least you don't got me low
Cause you;re just a wasted melody
That fell off my tongue
Just a waste melody
That's been played and done
And I'm alone again
But at least I have myself
And I'm alone again
But at least you don't have me....

Everyone's An Actor

Seep into my make up
You'll find nothing there
Save but many a memory
Some sweet as honey
Some bitter as lime
Tastes for all time stamps
And carve into my heart
And you'll find everything there
A face for every heartbeat
Some clear as crystal
Some fade with time
Everyone's an actor with parts played
Now see me center stage
This is my play
Let me live it with dignity
Wish me happy endings
I'll wish you well
Wish me one final bow
And carve into my heart
And you'll find everything there
A face for every heartbeat
Some clear as crystal
Some fade with time
Everyone's an actor with parts played.....

I heard your call
Ran so sure love would be mine
Only to find
You'd taken all you could while I went blind
And sure you know what songs to sing
To make yourself a worthy trade
For something worth more than your niceties
Got it all and more
And I don't blame you
Love's a precious commodity
Easier to take than to give
But you'll never stop being empty
The more you steal
Never stop being empty
The more you steal.....
And sure you know what pretty words to trade
To make yourself a worthy mate
Trade yourself for something worth more than your two cent laughter
I got less than I bargained for
And you got it all and more
And I don't blame you
Love's a precious commodity
Easier to take than to give
But you'll never stop being empty
The more you steal
Never stop being empty
The more you steal.....
Never stop being empty
The less you feel
