Lyrics (Pigeonholed - 2010)

All Mine

All these lights don't remind me of what I used to be
This time I won't forget that a life worth living is never free.
I'll just keep my distance from that, and it from me.
I will be heard, and not just be seen

Seems like only the proud and few are living their lives
Seems like time never ceases to pass the lonely by
And you know when you find that feeling you cannot hide,
Could you be the one to hold me tight?
No No No No

True, I may be living my life just for me on my own
But when I need someone I need to know I'm not alone
So don't you dare make me feel like I'm less than I am
For lovin' those around me, and needing them.

I can't fight this tiger that lives within my soul
If this thing I got going is no good I‚'ll let it go.
Keeping put in one place too long never makes you grow,
So I'm moving on, I'm moving on

All these lights don't remind me of what I used to be
This time I won't forget that a life worth living is never free.
I'll just keep my distance from that, and it from me.
I will be heard, and not just be seen

Take It

Baby I know you love me. Baby I know you care.
Baby I have saved up all my kisses for you-. But baby you're not here.
Baby You know that I would live just for you. But baby-, can you take it?

When you told me I was wrong I told you goodbye
When you see that I am gone, you, you'll have to take it.

Now I, I see it clearly. Baby, I see so clear.
When you said that you would take good care of me
you didn't have no fear.
Now that fear has taken over you, and now you, you ain't so strong.

I would tell you everything. I told you no lies.
You know it's a cryin' shame. You, you just can't take it.

All I'm givin' every thing I'm givin' to you, ba-by.
Won't mean nothin' if I don't mean nothin' to you.
All I'm tryin' all the tears I'm cryin' for you, ba-by.
It won't mean nothin' if you can't take it!

Baby you see me leavin'. Baby it's over now.
Baby, you won't find another one like me.
Baby can you take it?
Baby you'll have to take it.
Baby can you take it?

Goodbye Geminis

I see the sweat off my body
And you were mine
I feel the Earth start to tremble
And you were mine

And love
Was you
But not anymore
And never was sure

All this lightness surrounds us
I was on fire
Bearing fruit that is simple
I was on fire

And love
Was you
But not anymore
And never was sure

Once you have found it, let it go
If it can hold you, you'll know.

And When I Lose

And when I lose your love
I won't be lost for want
The time is right for loss
And beauty grows it's dark.

And when I lose sight of
My itching fear, all's lost
A scratch that burns, then runs
Don't blow it out, grow up.

Bridge:
When you feel the grass on your feet
Find the anchor
Hold
On

And when I lose the sun
The rest will all be gone
The earth and stone of us
A tide that brings me home.

Figure It Out

Life is full of lovers who lie in the beds they've made
Under the covers forgetting to appreciate.
I paid for all I felt for all I felt but there was no exchange
Someone's harder to love when all you have is time well paid.

At times the truth has dead blue eyes
But looking into them has made me wise - Now I'm wise.
Figure it out - When signs are wrong, don't hold on
Figure it out - When shades of gray get in your way
Figure it out - And leave your heart alone, itself is all it's ever known
Figure it out - In time...

Learning the fact that right now the best thing that I have got
Is my potential me. I have to redefine my gain and loss.
Numbness that you can't ignore which stares you in the face each day
Let go of answers now and let these questions direct your way.

At times the truth has dead blue eyes
But looking into them will make you wise - And now your wise.
Figure it out - When signs are wrong, don't hold on
Figure it out - When shades of gray get in your way
Figure it out - And leave your heart alone, itself is all it's ever known
Figure it out - In time...

Keeping motion, taste love's potion, let it take you
Throw your fear out, let it wear out all you have
Rhyme and reason, not this season, hot wind throws you
Fire, water, earth or air?

Figure it out - When signs are wrong, don't hold on
Figure it out - When shades of gray get in your way
Figure it out - And leave your heart alone, itself is all it's ever known
Figure it out - In time...

Replacements

It isn't what you did to us
The air thick with flight or trust
Lights of blue and green
Fade to nothing in between

I feel it still
It's not what you did
It's what you didn't do.
That's why I'm jumping to
His arms

It isn't what you said that night
Skin and bones replace the fight
Mirrors screaming back
How'd I get so far off track?

If I should cry
Well then would you try?
These arms and legs feel new
Replacing what you didn't do
For us

It's what you didn't do...
That's why I'm jumping to...
These arms and legs feel new...
Replacing what you didn't do...

Silence

I think I'll buy some bigger shoes and fill them full of rocks
So that the next time love comes up to my poor heart and knocks
I'll have a better chance of staying standing on my feet
Instead of being swept off of them in shoes that can't compete

Your face may be the kind that gets the blood up in my veins
And shoulders I could get lost in for hours when it rains
And hair I never knew I wanted to be tangled in
But what is all this now? I'll only say I knew you when

Fear and love occupied the same space
Invite one to stay

And so it just like you always said that it would be
There's no more you, but now I feel less of me
And while our time together was really very short
I'll move myself along and hope for more

Fear and love cannot occupy the same space
Invite one to stay
Invite one to stay
Invite one to stay
Invite one to stay

When you go, will you know what you've meant to me?
When you go, how will you know?
When you go what will I do?

I seem to be complex in ways of which I don't yet know
I'll learn from these and hope that as I do I'll grow
For while it's nice to think that someone's finally figured me
It can't be true if he can't even know what he should see

Questions

Do you ever have moments where you miss me? Or did you forget?
Did you forget how you said I made you so happy?
Did you forget what it felt like to have your hands in my hair? On my hips? On my lips?
Do you remember when we' wake up in the middle of the night only to find our bodies entangled?
Did I cling too much?
Did I not know enough?
Why can't I remember your touch?

Was my heart not enough to keep you? My head then? My body?
Was I foolish to believe you?
Did I really need you? Didn't you say you needed me?
Did I lose you or you lose me?
Why did I think I loved you so much?
Do you know how long you stayed with me? Do you know that you never really knew me?
When will you leave?

Do you ever have moments where you miss me? Or did you forget?

When

When you said you loved me I didn't know it was a lie
When you said you needed me you were not mine

When the time we'd spend apart was greater than our time as two
Then I knew you'd lost our love and I had lost you.

But you were all I knew
Were all I'd hoped for
And all I do is think back to
when love was so naive from you

When the time had passed be by I thought I'd left you in that past
but then another's big blue eyes brought back your wratch

When his touch enticed my heart my breath grew shorter than it should
Though not with joy from this new love but old pain from you

You are what I feel
It's so damned real
Though you no longer hold my heart
Your tearing me apart

When you said you loved me I didn't know it was a lie
When you said you needed me you were not mine
