"Close To Me"

I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I never thought that this day would end
I never thought that tonight could ever be
This close to me

Just try to see in the dark
Just try to make it work
To feel the fear before you're here
I make the shapes come much too close
I pull my eyes out
Hold my breath

And wait until I shake

But if I had your faith
Then I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my head on the door was a dream

I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I never thought that this day would end
I never thought that tonight could ever be

This close to me

But if I had your face
I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my hand in the door
Was a dream

"Forgive And Forget"

I think I've waited long enough.
Our world was once forget-me-nots
And now I wait another year.
Now I wait another year. I need you here.
I think I've heard this one before,
But it's not you walking through my door.
And now I wait another year.
Now I wait another year. I need you here.
I need you here. I need you here. I need you here.
Don't bother it now, Let sleepers lie.
Bygones have all gone by.
Forgot what we fought for, Hard as I might,
Don't have the will to fight.
Forgive & forget Whatever was said
Because we're growing up By the hour.
I never would let It go on like it did:
All good things Have endings.
Forgive & forget Whatever was said
All good things Have endings.
Don't bother it now, Let sleepers lie.
Bygones have all gone by.
Forgot what we fought for, Hard as I might,
Don't have the will to fight.
Don't bother it now, Let sleepers lie.
Bygones have all gone by.
Forgot what we fought for, Hard as I might,
Don't have the will to fight.

"Regret"

Maybe I've forgotten
the name and the address
of everyone I've ever known.
It's nothing I regret.
Save it for another day.
It's the school exam and

the kids have run away.

I would like a place I could call my own,
have a conversation on the telephone.
Wake up every day that would be a start.
I would not complain of my wounded heart.

I was upset you see,
almost all the time.
You used to be a stranger,

now you are mine

I wouldn't even trust you.
I've not got much to give.
We're dealing in the limits
and we don't know who with.
You may think that I'm out of hand,
that I'm naive, I'll understand.
On this occasion, it's not true.

Look at me, I'm not you.

I was a short fuse
burning all the time.
You were a complete stranger,
now you are mine.

Just wait till tomorrow.
I guess that's what they all say
just before they fall apart.

"Newfound Mass (2000)"

If I told you that I
was thinking of moving east,
would you save a place for me?
I'll come home
because it's worse that I expected.

A place in my heart
for my home to the west
where we'll watch the same sunsets,
and when I doubt...
I'll look east and lock my heart
in a brass box to newfound mass.

I'm breaking off but this is my home.

I'd do anything for you,
give you the world if I could.
Is that what you want me to do?
These bridges and boundaries are bringing me closer to you.
