Knot to Sleep

The things you think about when you’re up all night and doing the laundry or not doing the laundry; maybe I’ve just had my sheets a long time. “Knot to Sleep”, I was all tied up last night and I wish it was for a good reason, who knows someday maybe.

“Look at all the tangles”
“Just you have nowhere to go and nothing to do”, “True”
“Stay with me…” now there’s a thought

Hand in hand, “let’s get lost”
“Love me like you do”
“That is not an angle”

“Coming from the lips of an angel”
“But tangled up in you”
“And the new bedsheets that I bought”

A Round of Smiles

Because frankly I could use a drink and I don’t even drink but I can’t kiss, talking or trying to got me into trouble and I most definitely don’t want to smile. A Round of Smiles but I’m never getting that drunk again over some girl, never again

And I see you around, as you smile

Thinking it’s fun to share
Take one, give one
you have so many to spare

For the whole wide world
saying love me like you do
like you’re the last beautiful girl

Yet men only want to close their eyes
Humming can’t seem to make you mine
Thinking the ifs, and whys

of the moon and the stars above
Or the shape you might take
if you smiled only for them love

Here comes the sun
in all its jealously
Wondering where all the light came from

Only aren’t I the felon
to steal another one from you
Someday, sometime
I might learn how to make
them without you. God help me

you’re here now but your smile…

Oh Is Love Blind

Have you ever noticed that porn has the best lighting, well okay movies in general, I wonder where I got the idea that love has to be done in the dark; closed eyes for a kiss, lights off, nighttime, even blindfolds. Oh Is Love Blind; what do you see?

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQH7SGkOIPY

So you’re the kiss I’ll never see
I mean I think so
Why do I have to miss the show?
Maybe there will be others

just we turn off the lights and I have to believe
Now tell me, but then again… whoa
Who knew angels could fly so low
The wonders

When we pretend goodnight isn’t goodbye, there’s a possibility
But from your head down to your toes
and even the love below
Not even the lovers

dream of how I would love thee
“Love me like you do, although…”
there is always a catch but I won’t give you a blindfold
Be not so fearful, even when I tie you up in the covers

Just why is love so scary
Because that’s how you know
“Oh”
Is love blind or do you see another?

Magic Muggle

Love is… maybe it depends on the lover and even then; anyway it’s a world I don’t think I was born into and a world I might never know. “Magic Muggle”, truthfully only read one of the Harry Potter books, saw two of the movies

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl2YL2wvolU

God has his plans, Cupid his arrows
But how do I love you
without having my heart disappear
Anticipate quite the showcase
Like Roy and that tiger tussled

So under the covers I wait
Thinking a guy can pull a rabbit out of his hat… so
I might have a trick or two
Only would you volunteer?
Girls ain’t nothing but trouble

Just if I was invisible, as I often fear,
be not so fearful, don’t be afraid
Or do you wish to go
When all I offer is the truth
That’s why love is such a struggle

And to love me like you do
would be the real magic trick here
To have you stay with me, not try and escape
Bound by your panties, some ribbon, that’s how you know
ravishment is not so subtle

Yet love is my hope, not just for show
While love is a magic, true
it’s not powerful enough my dear
Couldn’t love me anyway
Some love for the loveless muggle

A Head of Sleep

Lazy I know but there is no avoiding “her” in my dreams, everywhere else is a crap shoot, but a few steps, a leap, I can only outrun her going the other direction. “A Head of Sleep”, yeah maybe I should go to bed and sleep, just sleep.

And that’s why I don’t sleep
Be my starry eyed surprise
If I closed my eyes
it would only be to weep
for your beauty, I just can’t keep
A memory, a dream, no I
want you but I’m scared to try
one step, one leap

to Heaven, to the stars, to the moon
Would you love me like you do
or am I simply enjoying the view
You say “see you soon”
Jump ahead
Why am I in bed…

Alone again, maybe?

Steps, Beats, Breaths, She Left

It’s a disease this thing called love and I know how dangerous it can be or so I heard; it’s an addiction without any type of rehab. Steps, Beats, Breaths, She Left, one girl was so close, the right girl I’m afraid is so much farther away…

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHsm9yWA6wc

Because love is more than twelve steps
Could be more than thirteen
How many do you have left?

When I catch my breath
“Why don’t you tell me?”
Because love is more than twelve steps

And you have a powerful effect
like you wouldn’t believe.
How many do you have left?

For an angel, I bet
to love me like you do, the trouble I’ve seen
Because love is more than twelve steps

You haven’t taken the first one, yet
If I say something, instead of nothing, I’ll be waiting
How many do you have left?

Can’t ask an angel this
Except if you’re falling
Because love is more than twelve steps
How many do you have left?
