This Rose

You can take your time
I don't mind
I'll just be spending every night out pacing on the yellow asphalt lines
but I'll be fine
'cause I learned once you get your head straight there is something you will find
there is this rose
and it don't wilt
it isn't picked apart by all this heavy guilt
no not this rose
it don't dry out
it isn't withered by this heavy heavy doubt
it only grows
So you can take your time
While I evolve
my mistakes are great but so is my resolve
you can take your time
I know you'll see
that nothing you could ever do would ever prove to me
there ain't this rose...
So you can take your time
I'll muscle through
I can tell that in between the sting my smile reaches you
you see my eyes?
They're free of clouds
and now I'm telling you you'll never be without
Not without this rose
it never dies
it's color can't be drained by petty petty lies
no not this rose
it still stands tall
it isn't weakened by the pressure of it all
it only grows

You've got my skin jumping off of my muscle
what little I had left
I can't move when you're in my way
I can't ever move anyway
You've got my nerves all crumpled like tin foil
the only guts I had
are subverted and diverted by your sweet little laugh
you're the best thing that I'll never have
let me break some promises to you
you'll never need someone like me
but can't you feel that
I can't get my body to breathe
I guess it could just be the oxytocin
It could just be the serotonin
but I feel like I could
never love you
half as much as I always have
I guess it could just be the dopamine
or some other catecholamine
but I feel like I could
never love you
any more than I always have
All my thoughts are fretfully regretful
I don't know what I was thinking back then
I can't move when I'm in my way
I can't move
when you're away
You've got my brain all twisted and backward like a cat and a loose ball of yarn
we've got miles both
on and between us
does that sound anything like a start
let me break some promises to ya
despite everything love's circumstantial
but can't you feel that?
Somehow this time must be special
I guess it could just be the oxytocin...
Let me break some promises to ya
there's no end to this pain that we feel
but can't you feel that
there's something between us that's real

What Do You Have to Say

I turned to them for explanation
but they can't say
what they should say
and I'd turn to God for salvation
but I can't pray
why would I pray.
Now I turn to art for expression
but it don't say
what I've got to say
So what do you have to say,
Did you know you were broken?
I turned to her for communion
but it don't pay
no she can't pay
and she turned to me for protection
what could I say?
Now where do we turn for expression
oh who could say
what we've got to say
What do you have to say,
did you know you were broken?
I just found out today.
I turned to them for explanation
but they can't say
what they should say.
