Landmine

2/7/2012

we walk together dear
though sometimes out of sync
but doesn't it always get better dear
we're stronger than we think
we hold our breath
cross our fingers and our toes
wasting the daylight left
hoping darkness won't approach

so let's dance on a landmine
and juggle with grenades
cause we don't when the pin will pull again so darling
let's make lemonade
every second with you is love so pure
every crack of the bat is worth so much more
than any swing and a miss
i'm telling you this
i'll love you til the end
so let's dance on a landmine til then

we dance together babe
on steps one, two, three and four
but when we waltz in three four time
we stumble to the floor
so we get the rabbit's foot
a heads up penny too
throwing a dash of salt behind our backs
it's all that we can do

Level With Me

i keep pressing the button that takes me down to level c
and i laugh out loud because level’s a word that is used ironically
cause it may as well be a bucking bull
or a ship in the see with a hole in its hull
i keep hanging on and pray for the day you can be
level with me

pray that you’re level with me, it’s just a matter of time
before the revelry arrives, with your peace of mind
you can find me here, i’ll just be walking the line
until the day you are free and level with me

my eyes they are tired, and my heart is lonely
and my clothes smell like hospital
my collection is growing of those visitor stickers
peel them off and stick ‘em on the wall
but i wait every day and i walk to a well
full of love that we made and i fill up my pail
i just hang on and pray for the day you can be
level with me

Love is All it Takes

you were a red light that stopped me right in my tracks
when i was flying through the crossroads
no yellow in between, quick change from red to green
you made me move, you made me go

you taught me to switch gears
and now the road is clear, we let go of the brakes
i'll drive with you my dear, and we'll collect souvenirs
love is all it takes

i picture you and me, two little girls at sea
digging our heels in shifting sands
baby don't cry those tears, there's enough salt out here
we hold our breath, we're holding hands

i'm learning how to tell when the next wave will swell
anticipate the breaks
i'm willing to dive through, long as i can pop up with you
love is all it takes

i ain't going anywhere, you can quote me girl, i said it
if something tries to break us, just trust that i won't let it
i don't need a judge to tell me that i'm wedded to you
you never have to worry, you never gotta sweat it
i told if you picked me you never would regret it
i loved you when i met you, i'll love you til the credits roll through

love, love, love is all it takes

Love Was Delivered

both of us had loads and loads of luggage
we let of a lot to lighten up
we rummaged through a wilderness of wreckage
found a bond so strong, it bandaged us back up

we used to walk against wild wind
struggled swimming sideways up the river
managed the mileage made it up around the bend
the current calmed, and love was delivered

both of us had bags and baggage
we emptied every heavy heart we held
at first there was a shortage making space for more love storage
but soon there was room for both of us to dwell

*co-written with Veronica May

you took the pain, added a t
painted right over the hurt inside me
believe what i say, when i say it's true
filled a big gaping hole with a big w

o, g, i, c something in u
u and i r right on q
nobody ever writes love letters these days
they spend all their time driving on online freeways
there's gotta be somebody somewhere that you know
who could use a few handwritten x's and o's

you took the hate, switched out the h
with an f and I guess it turned into fate
you wanted her badly, you set out to get her
took away the space so we'd be together
