Rewrite of "Jonny & Jess" - Lights

Your heart will get us there. I know I'll have to wait.
We'll drive, not walk 'cause you know that I hate
The city when it rains, and it does it all the time
But I'll thank you everytime.
You love my face, you're there regardless of my mood.
We learn to talk it over 'til it's smooth.
It really makes you brave 'cause I do it all the time
And I love you 'cause you're mine

So, talk to me and make me feel fine
I hope you can all the time
Forgive me if i'm ever on my knee
Kiss me if I'm mad at mommy
Love me even if I'm a mess
Take me as I am, bad or best
Daddy, love me

There are a couple things we don't always agree
On what to do or who I'm gonna be
But I'm willing to change for the sake of me and you
Cus' you know what to do
I try to think of how my life would probably be
Without you I would feel so unhappy
'Cause you balance me out - I'm the minus to your plus
When its just the two of us

So, talk to me and make me feel fine
I hope you can all the time
Love me even if I'm a mess
Take me as I am, bad or best.
Forgive me if i'm ever on my knee
Kiss me if I'm mad at mommy
Love me, Daddy

Forgive me if I'm ever on my knee
Kiss me if I'm mad at mommy
Love me even if I'm a mess
Take me as I am, bad or best
Daddy, love me

Lonely Cool-Whip NIghts

I'll drown myself in cocoa butter
And go wherever I wanna go
I'll send you a postcard, maybe a letter
From the places I'll never know

On those lonely cool-whip nights
I sit and watch the lights
Fade away, away, away

Take me with you, shooting star
I wanna be with you, wherever you are
You've found your place
Now I want mine
Show me somewhere I can fly
Away, away, away

I'll overdose on chocolate pudding
And tell everyone that I'll be fine
I'll think about the pain I'm eluding
And hope it never comes to my mind

On those lonely cool-whip nights
I sit and watch the lights
Fade away, away, away

Take me with you, shooting star
I wanna be with you, wherever you are
You've found your place
Now I want mine
Show me somewhere I can fly
I'm sick of this whole world, you see
There's always something wrong with me
You've found your place
Now I want mine
Show me somewhere I can fly
Away, away, away

On those lonely cool whip nights
I soak in all the lights
And fade away...

Where I'm From Poem for English

It's hard to say
Exactly where I come from
I've always wondered
Never come to a conclusion
But always have ideas

Am I from the pick?
Or the strings?
The case, maybe?
Yes, the case
Carrying the necessities
To put on a show
A portable getaway
When it's just for me

Am I from the rice?
Or the plates?
The cupboard, maybe?
Oh, my cupboard!
An abundance of treasures
Be it candy or toys
Stashed up high
And it's just for me

Am I from the strange looks?
Or the regret deep in their eyes?
The sacred promise I made?
That tempted commitment
To my future beloved
He's doing the same I pray
And our first kiss
He saved just for me

With my hands to the sky
And my knees to the earth
Father, you love me
You think I'm beautiful
How come?
I don't deserve it
But you died anyway
You died just for me

Wherever I'm from
I know I don't belong here
My place comes later
Once my work is done here

Good and faithful servant,
This is where you are from.

The Prince and the Peasant Girl

The prince needs a love
The peasant girl needs a love
He leaves his castle
She hears about him
He falls in love as soon as He sees her
She's never seen anyone like Him
He tells her He loves her
She says she's not worthy
She's being held back
So He makes her a promise

He goes and shows and proves
His utter, indescribable, unfathomable love
For her
He fights all her darknesses
He defeats her every nightmare
And just as He shows her the light
He collapses
He lay there dying
He takes His last breath

In joy, she sees what He's done
In horror, she sees how He's won

She whispers, "I love you..."
She says, "I love you."
She shouts, "I love you!"
She cries, "I love you!!!"
She screams, "I LOVE YOU!!!"

He breathes again
He feels alive again

She feels worthy because of Him
He feels joy because of her

And they lived happily ever after

Save Her - For Tonite

All we need is a helping hand
Even when your heart can't withstand
The truth lays outside this battle
And the strain awaits full throttle

Please save her
Please save her
For she's crying out to me
And I'm crying to God

Your coaster's riding downward
And, oh, God, I'm glad I found her
Cause you can find this heart
Before it tears you apart

Please save her
Please save her
For she's crying out to me
And I'm crying out to God

Take us back to the way we see
Even if this brings us to our knees
At the break of a song
This is where we are strong
And if the breaks in me can't deceive
This is where we'll all escape

So please save her
And please save her
For she's crying out to me
And I'm crying out to God

Silhouettes - Swimming with Dolphins

I know you won't admit this
I am just a silhouette to you
You found comfort with my distance
But you never let me stray out of your view

Who really needs the past
With the allure of something new?
So we split apart at last
Went back to places that I knew
Before you

And you never have to see
The light that wraps itself around me
And I never have to know
The faces there
The places you go
That you go

When I counter the resistance
I bend in shapes in ways I never knew
So I'll try to post from my existence
Yeah I'll stop or start my heart if you ask me to
I'll stop my heart and then I'll wait for you

I was sure I never would be sure we were in love
Although it's dark and black
I am sure I never would be sure of love to come
There is one thing left to hold on to
After you

And you never have to see
The light that wraps itself around me
And I never have to know
The faces there
The places you go
That you go

Alien Ocean

I sit here alone
Watching the world go by
Rain's falling down
Drops to my hands
And I look to the sky

Father, hear my cry
I don't belong here
Do I?
The world is turning
Oh, so slowly
And I want to die
Father
Hear my cry

Make It Home [Song Version]

Why so far away?
I thought you said you loved me
Do we know love?
So young, so unconscious
I, so fragile
You, so brittle
Wrap your head
Around this riddle

Here you are, my darling dear
Take the heart you didn't steal
Unconsciously torn from my chest
This shattered heart will never rest
My broken wings will someday soar
Slowly lifted off the floor
But as for now, I stronger grow
Until I can boldly go
I'll make it home
I'll make it home

If you want my heart
To have, to hold
To truly treasure
Call back to me
I'll run to you
With sparkling eyes
I, so thinking
You, so feeling
Misinterpret
Hidden meanings

Here you are, my darling dear
Take the heart you didn't steal
Unconsciously torn from my chest
This shattered heart will never rest
My broken wings will someday soar
Slowly lifted off the floor
But as for now, I'll stronger grow
Until I can boldly go
I'll make it home
I'll make it home

If you only want
A single breath
Let me go
Leave me, love
You don't understand
You're not a man
My heart is mine
Til you decide
But take your time

Here you are, my darling dear
Take the heart you didn't steal
Unconsciously torn from my chest
This shattered heart will never rest
My broken wings will someday soar
Slowly lifted off the floor
But as for now, I'll stronger grow
Until I can boldly go
I'll make it home
I'll make it home

Now and forever, boy
Or for now and never, boy
Which will it be?
Which will it be?

Which Will It Be, Boy? [Poem Version]

Why so far away?
I thought you said
You loved me
But really
Do we know love?
So young, So...
unknowing
I, unstable
You, unconscious
Of what you do to me
Make me feel things
Make me think things
I don't know why
I can't explain it
I don't want to
I, so thinking
You, so feeling
Saying only what you mean
And I misinterpret
Everything
Overreacting at the slightest sign
Of rejection
For affection

I'm done feeling broken
I'm done over thinking

Here you are, my darling dear
Have the piece of my heart
You didn't mean to steal
If you truly want it
To have and to hold
To treasure forever
Call back to me
And I'll return
I'll run to you
And I'll race your heart to the finish line
Where I see you waiting for me

But if only you crave
A single breathe of me
Exhale
Let me go
Leave me, my love
You truly don't
understand
You are then not worthy
Of such a prize as this
My heart
is mine!
Til you decide
But take your time

Which will it be?

Now and forever
or
For now and never

You are Mine

You could understand me
When no one else could
You would stand beside me
When no one else would
You
You are mine

Drama filled my life
When I was only thirteen
You were there to show me
How to keep my heart clean
You
You are mine

Hate to break it you
But I gotta leave sometime
Don't worry about it, though
I'll be back in no time
You
You are mine

You'll start looking different
At the start of September
Miles separate us
But just remember
You
You are mine

As I'm growing up,
I hope, just maybe
I could be a fraction of you
Pretty lady
You
You are mine

The End - P@jAmS <3

I don't know what this one's called. So I just guessed. He won't mind. ;)

Sit down with me

It won't take long to tell you that I love you

Hold out your hand

Just so I can take you wherever I go

Put your head on my chest

See that my heart is racing yours to the end

Where I see you waiting for me

Take it all in

'Cause this is where it all comes to an end

I have to leave

And sadly I can't take you with me

So close your eyes

Babe, it's time to say goodbye

I've still gotta pack

And then I'm off into this crazy world

And it's just too hard to say goodbye

So I'll just turn back six times to see your tears

And turn so that I don't see them fall

So now that I'm gone

I can't come back again

Until my time's up

I won't see your face again, again

And when I come back

I promise I'll see you again

Again, again

We'll all live our lives

They'll go back to normal

Again, again

I'm actually not sure what he's trying to get across. The last stanza seems to be a bit contradictory. *shrug* You tell me.

It's love through the fight

It's love at the core

It's your love I'm waiting for

Babe, I want more

Honestly? Eternity?

You promise it to me?

So hold me tight

And stay forever

Will you wait for me?

Untitled Heartcry

They say it's too late

I'll never get my serenade

They try to feed lines

They know that I'm perfectly fine

"Too bad, so sad"

They think, but they don't see I'm glad

It's too much and such

A fleeting meaning just to touch

I know He knows

My prince and I need time to grow

I say the delay

Will bring us closer until that day

Can't you see too?

Love is best when love is new.

How Special You Are

Even with all these phrases and lines

Swirling and twirling their way through my mind

None of them fit you

Enough to tell you

Enough to show you

Just how special you are

Even with all these thoughts and dreams

Slipping and flipping around, it seems

They don't describe you

Enough to tell you

Enough to show you

Just how special you are

Even with your face

Your eyes

Chiseled in my head

My heart

Nothing ever

Comes together

To sing of how special you are

Maybe your perfection is too much to explain

Maybe I just need more words

Whatever it is

I just want to tell you

Just want to show you

Just how special you are

They don't need to match

They don't need to rhyme

They just need to make you smile

That flawless smile forever

With me in your arms

Feeling safe in your embrace

At home in your heart

Like I finally belong

Where I never have before

That's how special you are

Dear I-90

Seattle,

Behind the wheel

Here I come

I'm taking you on

Those hours

Of expectation

And frightened delight

Are waiting tonight

Here goes the adventure of a lifetime

Don't leave me behind

I'm waiting

For this road to take me where I want to go

I want to see you

I want to feel you

My heart can't take this anymore

I'll catch the freeway

Headed down westbound

Interstate 90

Get me to him quickly

Pro Anti-Conformity

How can you find me here standing alone
And then just leave me hanging through the storm

Don't ask for much but I just want you to know

That all I really want is to be loved

You've got to be a light

To shine in the darkness

You've got to be a love

To save lives

You can't just be the average

If you really want to reach me

You've got to stand out from the others

Different from all the others

Things That Come to Mind

^_^ - Will it always be like this? An endless cycle of falling for someone then flat on my face?

^_^ - Baby, you can't get me out of your face, because I can't get you out of my head.

^_^ - When time stops ticking

The world stops spinning

Eternity finds its close

When forever ends

Let me go

At Least We Made It This Far - Relient K

I'm so tired of the phone, baby.

I don't like the tone of the way we

Say "I love you" a thousand times

We say those words

But we can't look into each other's eyes

Oh, and guess we made it

Or at least we made it this far

And it all looks smooth from here

Oh, and in a future day

There may be waves

But I must say the skies

Have never looked so clear

Oh, and I guess we made it

'Cause it ain't far to go from here

I'm so tired of the road, baby

Driving through the snow and just maybe

You'll sit back, think about the times

When we said those words

And we looked into eachother's eyes

Oh, and I guess we made it

Or at least we made it this far

And it all looks smooth from here

Oh, and in a future day

There may be waves

But I must say the skies

Have never looked so clear

Oh, and I guess we made it

'Cause it ain't far to go from here

You have given me a heart attack

You'll never know

What it's like to have to face the fact

You might let go

I won't stand for any thought of that

Heavens no

I will cling to you and always have

A stronger hold

Oh, and I guess we made it

Or at least we made it this far

And it all looks smooth from here

Oh, and in a future day

There may be waves

But I must say the skies

Have never looked so clear

Oh, and I guess we made it

'Cause it ain't far to go

From here

Tommorow

Time going by.

Time feeling slow.

Dreams of fun

Thoughts of nonsense

My future before me,

Like an unopened gift.

Tomorrow,

Come faster

When I am 5 years old,

Come faster

Tomorrow, hurry!

Tomorrow's never coming

I know it

Time going by.

Time feeling fast.

I will always be loved

Will I always be like?

Can I live it out?

So many queastions...

Tomorrow,

Come faster

When I am 12 years old,

No, wait. Stop!

Tomorrow, I didn't mean it

Tomorrow, you're coming

Savor it

Time going by.

Time faltering.

Everything so close

Thoughts of fame

Dreams of romance

The wrapping paper gone

Tomorrow,

Stay where you are

When I am 16 years old,

Stay where you are

Tomorrow, please stay

Tomorrow, you'll come

Anyway.

Time going by.

Time standing still.

I won't die soon

But eventually

I hope eventually

In spite of soon

Tomorrow,

Don't be close

Oh, please! Stay far away!

Don't be close

Tomorrow, you're coming

You always will be.

Time going by.

The City Lights

Happy is laughing.

Sad isn't sparkling.

Relaxed is tanning.

Apathy isn't moving.

Excitement is planning.

Boredom isn't thinking.

Joy is bouncing.

Depression isn't moving.

Chipper is singing.

Stress isn't dreaming.

The city of Emotion -

Doing and not doing.

Fireball

I am a spaz.

Like a New Year's Eve popper

Exploding in your face

Confetti up your nose

In body, a fireball.

In spirit, a fire.

A world without the close ones

Like floating in space

No one to laugh

At my dumb jokes

In body, a fireball.

In spirit, a fire.

I am worried

Fun is only fun when

It's still fun in the morning

They don't believe me

In body, a fireball.

In spirit, a fire.

They're useless

Or so they say

They don't know

How much they're worth

To me.

To Him.

In body, a fireball.

In spirit, a fire.

I know what they don't

I'm sorry I never said

How much you mean

To me.

To Him.

I'm so sorry.

Dual Confrontation

He gets the letter.

I can't believe

He has to leave

He gets his jacket.

I can't believe

He has to leave

He heads for the door.

No! This can't happen!

He said forever

He can't leave

What if...?

What if he disappears?

What if the captain

Shows up at my door?

He's gone, ma'am

I'm so sorry

The world heard my cry

But what if I stop him?

Will I then take two lives?

All the Time

We met like a flash

Lightning fast

That's what you call me

Just friends, right?

That's right.

We watched videos

A birthday song

Dragons and breakfast

Just friends, right?

That's right.

We said our goodbyes

With twinkling eyes

Why is it so hard?

Goodbye... darling...

You called me last night

You flatter me

Sing the alphabet

Just friends, right?

It's that first question

That goes unanswered that

Catches your attention

You'll never look away

We've just kind of stumbled

Upon this friendship

You've got my attention

But is it more than that?

Please don't answer that

You'll sing me a song

I'll sing it back

With your ear to a seashell

You can hear the waves

In underwater caves

So tell me darling

Do you wish we'd

Fall in love?

All the time

All the time

What I Would Do For You - P@jAmS <3

If you want out of this hole that you dug yourself

Into, I have to be the first to help

And if you wanna leave this sad city all behind

We'll change our names to Fredrick and Clementine.

And I know it's really hard for you to see

But, baby, you're the only one that I could ever need

And when I'm with you, I can feel this small breeze

Telling me that should let go of everything

If you wanna cross this ocean to get back home

Know that I'll always be with you and you'll never be alone

I can't make you famous or buy you lots of stuff

But I can make it all better when it gets tough

And when I see you're smile or look into your eyes

Or see that you're sad and ready to cry

I wanna hold you until you get better

Heck, let's get real: I'll hold you forever

Desert Song - Hillsong

This is my prayer in the desert

When all that's within me feels dry

This is my prayer in my hunger and need

My God is the god who provides

This is my prayer in the fire

In weakness or trial or pain

There is a faith proved of more worth than gold

So refine me Lord through the flame

I will bring praise, I will bring praise

No weapon formed against me shall remain

I will rejoice, I will declare

God is my victory and he is here.

This is my prayer in the battle

When triumph is still on its way

I am a conqueror and coheir with Christ

So firm on His promise I'll stand

I will bring praise, I will bring priase

No weapon formed against me shall remain

I will rejoice, I will declare

God is my victory and He is here

All of my life, in every season

You are still God

I have a reason to sing

I have a reason to worship

I will bring praise, I will bring praise

No weapon formed against me shall remain

I will rejoice, I will declare

God is my victory and he is here

This is my prayer in the harvest

Where favor and providence flow

I know I'm filled to be emptied again

This seed I've recieved I will sow.

Selah

Hello Seattle Cover [Owl City]

Hello to Renton. My name is Juliet

And you are my Romeo

I want to fall asleep on my front porch swing

And wake up in your arms

Hello to Renton. I am a dotted fish

Making you laugh out loud

I'll walk a thousand miles just to hear you say

"I love you, my darling girl"

Hello to Renton. He is our Northern Star

Giving us direction

Although I'm known to ask you a lot of things

I just want to know you

Hello to Renton. I am your phone's rintone

Going off at midnight

I sing about my love and his far-off town

Leaving me just wondering

Hello to Renton. I am your to-do list

You'll complete when I'm home

We are the ones who can't play a fake guitar

But can rock the real thing

Hello to Renton. I hope we meet up soon

West or East - I don't care

Waiting for morning, hoping the night won't end

Paying close attention

Hello to Renton. My name is Juliet

And you are my Romeo

I want to fall asleep on my front porch swing...

Take me above your light, Carry me through the night

Hold me secure in flight, Sing me to sleep tonight

Invincible

We're so close but still so far

There goes my last wish on a star

As I gaze off to the west

I feel you hold me close to your chest

Singing, "I love you, baby girl."

Let's take an axe to this wall between us

I don't care if it's illegal

Let's chuck our phones into the ocean

Maybe feed them to a seagull

We don't need them anymore

And nothing's gonna stop us now

[Untitled] - P@jAmS <3

It's easy to say how I miss you

How your eyes make my heart stop

Your finger makes my gum pop

How you always make me smile

How you carry yourself and your style

How we can talk about nothing and still be happy

And I can type all these words without feeling sappy

I think that you've taken me over the top

When I met you and danced with you to that hip-hop

You look into my eyes and I in yours

Just to say goodbye hurts even more... z

I hold even longer to rules that you've set

So for that I will never forget

The fact that you're far won't stop us from talking

Heck, if anything, I might just start walking

So with that I say

That no matter what I do

I still miss you

Blond Brunette

They said she was smart

Maybe she was

I guess she was just one of those kids

Who was smart in school

But dumb in real life

She's said to have blond roots

Growing through her brain

With her short brown hair

Down to her neck

Singing right along

To her favorite Anberlin song

Then he saw her

Walking down that hall

He'd seen his share of girls

But she beat them all

That was the day he fell in love

With the blond brunette

The girl who stole his heart

With her brains and her smile

The girl guys wanted to meet

That day he fell so hard

For the blond brunette

The girl who broke my heart

With her class and her style

The girl I wanted to be

His Favorite Christmas Story - Capital Lights

He met her up in Delaware in 1937
She was wearing red lipstick to match her pretty dress
December 24th at a quarter till eleven's

When he finally gained the courage to ask her to dance

It was the night before Christmas, it was love at first sight
The carolers sang as they danced through the night
She was a small town girl, he was a traveling guy
He never caught her name before they said their goodbyes

A couple years later he was out on the road
Having Christmas dinner in a diner alone
When he saw a young waitress with a gleam in her eye
Her favorite day of the year she showed her spirits were high

She said, "Sir, can you shed a little holiday cheer?"

A simple Christmas story was all she wanted to hear
He looked prepared with a smile as he started to say

Here's my favorite Christmas story about a girl with no name

He said I met her up in Delaware in 1937
She was wearing red lipstick to match her pretty dress
December 24th at a quarter till eleven's

When I finally gained the courage to ask her to dance

Every holiday season as he traveled he'd tell

'Bout his Christmas dance partner that he never knew well
He'd share his favorite story with the locals he met
He was called the Christmas story telling traveling man

By age 53 he had done settled down
All the neighborhood kids liked to gather around
Just to listen to his stories about his life on the road
All he had now were these children he told

And every Christmas Eve they showed up before dark
He'd tell them all the story but they knew it by heart
They could quote it word for word, he always told it the same
It was his favorite Christmas story called the girl with no name

He said I met her up in Delaware in 1937
She was wearing red lipstick to match her pretty dress
December 24th at a quarter till eleven's

When I finally gained the courage to ask her to dance

Twenty years later as he took his last breath
It was on a cold Christmas morning on a hospital bed
The children were grown, he had nobody left
Except the little old nurse who was holding his hand

He said, "Ma'am can you share a little holiday cheer?"
A simple Christmas story was all he wanted to hear
But his eyes filled with tears at the words that she spoke
Because his favorite Christmas story was the one that she told

She said I met him up in Delaware in 1937
Though I never caught his name he was a traveling man
December 24th at a quarter till eleven
I'm so glad he got the courage to ask me to dance

How to Live

Let everything that leave my mouth

Light a fire for you no one can put out

As it takes the world in spark and flame

Let it echo out and bless your name

As I sing holy

Holy, holy, holy

Train my mouth up like it should be

As I bow before you, Father, will you change me?

There's nothing else I'd rather do

Than live my life full after you

But I lose your way and take my own

When all it gets me is all alone

God, I know that you forgive

Train me, teach me

Show me how to live

Up to Something

Your smile is slowly slipping my mind

Your eyes are slowly losing their shine

And I wonder what He's up to

When I let my mind wander towards you

He tells me I'm fine

In fact, I'm thriving

My God, you must be

up to something

I don't know

what to expect

All I know

is that You know best

Even if I leave

everything behind me

I will believe

Toyland

I originally wrote the first verse thinking of the last guy I gave my heart away to. Even now, more than a year later, it's still helping me through this. In a school full of premature relationships, an enormous need for real love, and compromises made for it, this song continually keeps me in check.
Thank you, Father, for giving me these lyrics.

I see you and it all comes back to me

I watched you fade

It all seemed black but see

I didn't really know what I wanted at the time

Can you help me find my way?

I've got something on my mind

You were everything I've always wanted

But you never seemed to meet my needs

It all comes down to me

I'm giving up on you and your for now

Until a time that's not so far from now

Please just understand

I'm moving out of Toyland

Looking back on our relationship

There's something wrong

Something so wrong with it

Emotions can't drive every move I make

Should I stay with the plan

Or leave my heart at stake?

You were everything I've always wanted

But you always seemed to let me down

Stop, just hear me out.

I'm giving up on you and yours for now

Until a time that's not so far from now

Please just understand

I'm moving out of Toyland

Now it's time for things to fall in place

Moving on

Won't need to see your face

My feeling won't take ahold of me today

My heart will let me down

But that will be okay becuase

There's someone out there who's everything I want

And He'll never cease to meet my needs

It all comes down to me

Can't you see? It's just not worth it

He needs my heart whole, pure, and perfect

Try to comphrehend

I've been around more than I want to

Just know I don't hold anything against you

Please just understand

I'm moving out of Toyland.

I see you and it all comes back to me...
