give me something to go on
don't leave me here in the dark
you don't always have to act so tough
when i'm gone, will you miss me?
if i'm out of line, please forgive me.
no, i ain't asking you to kiss me
just show me love.
your mind, it tends to wander
and i can barely keep up.
they say that absence makes our hearts grow fonder
when i's gone, did you miss me?
can you learn to forgive me?
you don't need my permission to kiss me
just show me love.
you can stay if you want to
all my other plans can just fall through
lord, i can't help it if i want you.

Our Team

i have danced with devils, slept with angels, walked with god
but no one kept me company like you.
hell, i've had sparks that grew to flames and burned whole bridges down.
i fall in love too much, but that's old news.
and if and when i see you again, i'll lose control of both my lips.
how come my rhetoric is useless too?
and you'll keep on chasing guys that pick on chicks with pick up lines,
still they won't write you songs as good as mine (the clever kind).
well you act like you held a sign, or wore it on your sleeve,
but i can see right through your clever guise.
yes, it's true we make a good team, but i haven't got a clue
just how to close this gap from me to you
and if you cease to be my friend, so what?
shall i compare thee to the sea again? oh, to beat that simile to death!
you won't have to ask me if i did fake the authenticity.
if love's a pact, then i'm the dotted line you want to sign.
go ahead and sign me up.
been traded, been benched, begged the coach to put me in.
he told me i was too damn slow (i suppose).
i was never one to play the field. wasted days on strings of steel.
so when i got tired of never placing, i let my heart do all the racing
that's why our team always wins, and always will.

here's your last song, so eat it up like i know you're gonna.
and you got me all wrong, i'm not hung up, just pissed off is all.
once a week i'd make my way out there
to eat and drink and play house in bel air
and make love on your mother's-boyfriend's-king-sized-bed
back when i knew you, or thought i did
so hold on to this jealous-stubborn heart for a short while
and if you drop it, just let it shatter on some overzealous-west-side-bathroom tile.
no i don't get off on making you feel bad.
it's pipe dreams really, dwelling on the past
or nightmares depending on which one of us you ask, but i can't blame you,
i was an ass
and for the record, you were worth the gas.
