Words Undefined

When my mind is racin’ and my thoughts they are absurd
And when your feet are pacin’ and your speech is slurred
When you say you’re sorry I cant hear a single word
I cant say I’m sorry I’m just a little bird
Then one day I flew away
‘Cause I’ve had my time with words undefined
Well it’s hard to keep in time when you say what’s on your mind
When my hours are waking and I can’t fall asleep
Remember my heart breaking all things in between
When my body’s achin’ and I feel incomplete
My hands may start shakin’ like when I was 16
I knew one day I’d fly away
When we face bad weather and skies are grey
It’s still such a pleasure to see your face today
When we are together there’s so much we don’t say
We’re birds of a feather, it’s quite a cliché
Then one day we flew away

History Class

We're always riding a fast moving train
You always carried but I never pulled my weight
We'll chalk it up to a simple twist of fate
You always told me but I never knew the date
We're dancing in history class
I can't say how long this will last
It terrifies me to know of my own past
If you despise me well please make it fast
Were always wearing your best smiling face
I always felt then things were in their place
Tried to hold on tight but my hands were often weak
Was always hiding but I never thought to seek
We're dancing in history class
I can't say how long this will last
It terrifies me to know of my own past
If you despise me well please make it fast

Metronome

You say you understand then you force my hand
Never felt at home when we were alone
I say I don't want it but you have a habit
of getting what you want and leave me with a haunt
Maybe one day you will see my face
I hope you forget my name
It flows and it flows
out of your mouth like a palindrome
and so it goes
Back and fourth like a metronome
I can't drive at night because I can't see the lines
Bookstore in the rain I can't seem to complain
Ride the train alone and call me on the phone
We talk about the day not much else to say
Though I close my eyes I still see the view
Though I've had my time I still think of you
